Eric, What we really love to do in life isn't always "practical". You'll probably have to consider some more factors such as will you want to hanger the KR while you work? ; will you need an extra car to have at your destination airport for getting to work?, etc. Typically, we spend more time working on (maintenance, etc.) our aircraft than we do actually flying the thing. I think we all, at one time or another, dream about flying to work every day. If you really love flying, go for it! If you're just wanting to save time over driving, I'd give it some more thought.

I'm thinking about using a KR to commute to work 3 days a week. I'd like to get some feedback from you on the practicality of what I'm thinking about. Here's the situation? I work in Scottsdale, AZ about 1 mile from the Scottsdale Airport. I am thinking about moving to Snowflake, AZ. Snowflake is about 160 miles from work by car. There is a small airport in Taylor (very close to Snowflake). I am guessing that the distance from the Taylor airport to Scottsdale is about 120 miles. Would it be practical to fly a KR to and from work 3 days a week? I would expect there to be $5K-$10K per year in fuel, maintenance, etc. Is this a reasonable expectation? Any ideas, suggestions, advice, or other feedback is greatly appreciated.
