I know how long it takes to get things done. I am FINALLY this week looking like I'll get the shop ready to pull the plane into. I'm expecting to pull her in Wednesday, maybe Thursday. I've decided to stop (or drastically reduce) working on everyone else's music equipment and dedicate myself to this project. I have been working with a fellow over at our local EAA chapter. He has a few planes. I'm working primarily on his Christian Eagle Biplane electrical system. I already reworked his Intercom system, and still have improvements to make on it, so I've been busy and I'm enjoying it. Now it's time to fit my KR into the rotation. I have 11 hours of flying time in so far, and I'm still having problems with stalls and such. There's just SO MUCH to remember when I'm up there, not to mention the stress of having the instructor in my face most of the time. Its to be expected I understand, because I need to be able to deal with the whole process of flying, but it IS a bit overwhelming most times. I expect to be able to get my stalls right tomorrow and start on my steep turns. HOPEFULLY Ill finally get it down onto the runway by myself too! I'll keep you informed.
BTW..EAA479 will have a booth at the Keesler AFB Air show April 4 and 5 down here in Biloxi. The Thunderbirds are going to be performing, so I hope you can make it down for the show, and any other members of the KR crew. Airports close by are Biloxi / Gulfport international, and the Ocean Springs airport. Further out to the west are Diamondhead (66Y) and Stennis, with Trent Lott to the east. Be good, I'll keep you posted Glenn Martin KR2 N1333A Biloxi, MS
