Jim, I just want to go on record supporting your goal. If possible, I will fly my KR-2 to Oshkosh 2007. Last year I completed my 40 hour flight test just in time to make The Gathering. This year I made Sun 'n Fun, Oshkosh, MERFI, and The Gathering.
The best way to assure you will fly your KR to Oshkosh in 2007 is to make a commitment now. I'm aware of at least 4 KR's that were flown to The Gathering this year after having last minute problems. They did this through extra effort because they had commited to be there. I know that sometimes you have problems that you can't overcome, but if you have made a commitment, at least you will try. BTW, last year I had to stop for fuel going to and coming from The Gathering. This year neither direction. This is due airframe drag reduction. So far, about 14% improvement, but not enough to offset fuel cost increases. :-) Ken Jones, kenbjo...@cinci.rr.com Sharonville, OH N5834, aka The Porkopolis Flying Pig ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Faughn" <jfau...@socket.net> The one thing that I am personally promoting, beyond continuing to attend KR Gatherings, is the 35th Anniversary of the KR. This will be an Oshkosh EVENT and I will be flying there in 2007. I believe we should be able to get at least 35 KR's at the 35th Anniversary of the KR. This has to be a passion and commitment of everyone and it has now become my slogan. Plan on attending the KR Gathering next year and then Oshkosh in 2007. FINISH YOUR AIRPLANES AND BE AT OSHKOSH 2007!!!! Jim Faughn 35 KR's for the 35th Anniversary at Oshkosh 2007
