Hi Fred, I know what you are saying, I bought my KR2 ready to fly and then took 15 months to get it ready to fly.
Now I've got 80 hours on it and have taken it home to add wing stub fuel tanks, lower the undercarriage mount points (raise the aircraft) and fit a belly board. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Fred Lowerre To: kr...@mylist.net Sent: Sunday, October 16, 2005 12:17 PM Subject: KR> Help! What have I gotten myself into? [LOL] Hello KR owners, Here's the thing. I've always wanted a KR.A few months ago fuel prices got me to sell my Bellanca Viking. [ 16 gph cruise,23 on takeoff.I'm usually by myself anyway].So I bought a KR2 project, for $5500.Good quality construction,has flown, a few blisters in the wings that I need to repair BUT doesn't look like I can match the paint...... so I'll repaint the wings.....Oh why not the whole plane! Engine's good [Revmaster 2100D] BUT hey, the factory is only 60 miles away....I'll have them tear it down and inspect it....oh let's just overhaul the whole thing.....Cheap insurance,right! Then there's that retract gear.....It seems fine BUT no one's using it anymore. AND what about those mechanical brakes! Then there's all those cool looking canopy's!!!!................................ Oh where will it end? Where should it end? Projects' lots of fun but when/where do I say no more AND'S or BUT's and just go flying? Are all projects like this? Is there no end to it all? Help!! I'm open to suggestions............Fred --------------------------------- Yahoo! Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs.
