Not to stir the pot, but old and flyable is still old. Mark Langford flys so much that his newer KR might over take a lot of older KR. High time is high time. For the first 15 years I never had a hobbs and never cared to record the flight hours. Anyway you are welcomed to have the distinction of having the oldest highest time KR. It's just nice to know that some of the older birds are still around. I remember Ken Cottle. If I were a builder I would want to know that My effort would result in a craft that could endure 25 years.

There are probably plenty of old KR carcasses out there from the seventies and eighties that either never flew or only flew once or twice. The highest time KR's that I know of are mine at 1185, finished by Ken Cottle in 1987 and Sparky's, built by Bob Passmore and which has Dan Diehl's first tricycle gear installation. Sparky's has about 1400 hours. Mike - KSEE ____________________________________________________________ 2 Minute Consolidation Quote! Free online quote in 2 minutes.
