There just simply is nothing as satisfying as flying a KR-2S with a healthy Corvair engine up front. I just returned from my fourth flight in four days. A flight a day keeps the doctor away. And speaking of doctors...I passed my flight physical this morning so I am good for two more years. Thank God! The last four flights I made have been totally uneventful. It is a wonderful feeling to not to be worrying about the engine while flying. My newly rebuilt engine is not leaking a drop of oil nor is it blowing any out the breather. Today, I achieved 148 mph on the GPS while in straight and level flight. Oil temp 180°, CHT 295°, ET 1250°, OP 35 psi, Volts 14.5. I am Gathering bound in my KR-2S. It is still in primer, has no wheel pants, has no spinner, has exposed hinges and still needs some filling to smooth her out but I am having a blast and I am flying to the Gathering. With my plane in this stage of being finished, you can see how a lot of things will be prior to finishing. YEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
