Eric,
Why not relocate to Snowflake and try to get a place close to the
airport and work. With the cost of motor fuel and aviation fuel this is
exatly what I would do. The airport here where I live has refused year
after year so build more hangers enen thoulgh when I came here 16 years ago
there were 16 people on the waiting list and now there are 38 so I am going
to sell my Cessna 152 and get an aircraft that is qualified under the sport
pilot rules and has folding wings. I heard about one with a 912 Rotax
engine (1500 Hrs TBO) and it uses auto fuel. I will trailer it back and
forth from home to the airport and they will not make a dime off of me.

Subject: KR> Practical?
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.
Thanks,
Eric
