I got to spend a fun filed weekend with my KR as well. The plane has been flying again for 2 weeks now and has accumulated an additional 14 hours of flight time. This weekend I was off to the Copperstate Regional Fly In at Casa Grande, AZ. The flight down started with an hour of VFR on top of the clouds cruising at 9500'. Beautiful flight over top of the clouds with the mountains sticking up through them. Lee Van Dyke was already on the ground when I arrived at Casa Grande with his beautifully restored KR. Nice job Lee! Spent a fun filled weekend looking at planes topped off with my KR being awarded 1st place for "Best Custom Wood Aircraft" at the fly in. We launched off over the mountains for the 330 mile trip home picking our way around clouds and thunderstorms all the way home. I spent most of the trip throttled back to 2350 cruising along with a C-182 for an average fuel burn of 4.5 GPH for the trip. What a great little plane!
