Wow!! Bill has made some awesome progress. I drove out to his house last October and he was in the advanced boat stage (controls, gear, tail feathers done, etc) and starting to fit his canopy, but had yet to do his turtle deck, stub wings, etc. That's great news on his first flight and I look forward to seeing it in the air!
ps. It's good to hear from you Art. Brian mentioned that you moved out to West GA, hope to see you at the gathering.

Seems he's been very busy. He got his project signed off yesterday and today his baby took flight. This is the second KR he has built. He has a KR2-S tail dragger, Corvair engine, speed brake and the new airfoil. After a short hop in ground effect he lifted off and went around the pattern once before a smooth landing. He reports it flew very steadily with few control inputs needed (almost hands off)his term!!! He hopes to fly his required hours off and bring her to the Gathering, if possible. He was going to leave her with just primer, but instead, painted her and took care of the interior while waiting on the inspector. He's not on the net, but if you wish to call him with questions or atta boy's, you can reach him at 229.242.2978. Photos may follow if he can get them to me. Get it built-then go fly the thing! > Art Bruce > > > _______________________________________ > to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html >
