I just wanted you guys to know that my Dad (Bob Muse, Sr.) passed away this morning at about 4:00 AM at Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, GA. He had suffered from several minor strokes and other complications over the past several months. Daddy was soon to be 84 years old but he was still flying his KR (N28RM) at 81 when he decided to convert it from the original retractable gear to a fixed gear. Daddy would tell anyone that asked about how much did it cost to build his KR that it cost about $5,000. The truth was he had spent only about $3200 building his KR. The reason is that he built it to the plans as much as possible and he built everything (and I mean everything) himself, including the radio (from a kit).
Daddy was not only my best friend but a real supporter of the KR and everyone that was associated with the KR and especially KR Builders. My greatest joy was to have my Dad work with me on my KR and then when we able to fly wingtip-to-wingtip was a dream come true. I was so lucky to have a dad like Daddy. Daddy is now Flying with the Angels. A special Request: If anyone has a picture of N28RM, please post it so everyone can share his love of flying and his love of the KR. Thank You, Bobby Muse, Jr.
