This weekend was a lot of fun. Being that my KR is still down for interior overhaul and annual inspection I flew out to the annual Thomasville fly-in in a KR2S that belongs to Todd Theilin. It is a nice KR with a sporty Mosler conversion in it. 150mph in cruise with the gear up. Little more bumpy than mine - I am sure due to the wing and lighter wing loading. Got to meet up with Bob Lester - also a KR pilot - who flew up in his Pietenpol. Had good hamburgers and hotdogs and met up with some friends. Although the weather was iffy for some there were quite a variety of planes there. I encourage any of you to find out when the local fly-ins are held in your area and visit them. They are well worth the trip. A short 15 minute flight home and landed on the wet runway. Had time to work on the interior a little bit on my plane and prep some parts for Todd's. I hope to have mine airborne this week and plan for some traveling during the next couple months. I have thoughts on selling it but the rush of flying is too addictive. I am currently installing a retractable seat belt system, prepping for the possiblitiy of new avionics, plus a little paint work. A couple people (privately) have mentioned the twin project that I started a while back and it is slow in coming right now due to work and a thirteen year old :) Since we have the new fuselage parts for the Falcon developed I will probably end up modifying one of those for use. I like the wider cabin and it is more aerodynamic than the carbon one I made earlier. I have the spar materials and many parts but little time for it right now. I am still in the collecting phase and decisions on gear and some control issues. Once I hit it hard I will post more. Keep building and fly safe...
