More thinking than actually doing. My fantasy was that now that my youngest child was off to college I would have tons of time. I don't know what happened but that glut of time I expected never materialized. However, I am making progress on several fronts. 1. I hope to build the wings over Christmas vacation. Since I do not know how to fiberglass and I want to make sure I do it right (not so that it looks right but actually is right) I got a guy in the fiberglass boat business to help me and we should be doing the wings before the end of the year. That will be a big step. 2. At that same time, I will be working with two guys from my home airport. I feel that I am very lucky in that 2 guys who are now "hangar bums" are both retired Delta mechanics. Both with A&P and A&I certifications. They have offered to review all of my wiring/cotrols etc. to let me know if I have done it correctly. Whenever I get to the point of actually flying the KR, one of them will probably do that first test flight as he was also a test pilot and ferried many a plane (mostly to South America). You can't buy that kind of experience. 3. I have all the materials and pieces/parts to put my engine together. Just need to find the time to do it. If I didn't have to go to work all the time I would get so much done. So, to review. I plan to have the plane finished before spring. Hopefully to start the engine during the same time frame. Target? The Gathering. Reality? We'll see. Ray New Orleans

The weather's been less than optimal lately for flying OR working on KRs here, but surely somewhere somebody's getting a little closer to flying. I'll bet the Aussies are cookin'...
