I haven't seen any KR's yet. Has anybody seen any?
I flew my KR2 (built by Jim Faughn) into OSH on Friday, and tied it down in the usual KR roosting spot at Homebuilder HQ. Unfortunately, during a refuel stop in northern Illinois on the way up, I tripped over an un-seen curb and broke my foot. I didn't know it at the time, so I continued on to OSH.
When I landed at OSH, I found that it hurt more than before. That evening, I was down to using my heel only, which worked OK but was quite awkward. It got even worse that night, with lots of swelling, and I decided it was broken and I needed to get back home ASAP to get it set. Besides....OSH is all about walking all over the place and I simply couldn't walk any more.
Rob Schmitt arranged a ride back to the plane Saturday morning, and I crawled back in the plane and headed home. Larry Flesner met me with a wheel chair when I stopped for fuel at KMWA, and it was much appreciated. My wife met me at the hangar and put the plane away. Next morning it was obvious it was broken, and the ER doctor's X-ray removed all doubt.
So I'm now on a "knee scooter" to get around the house, and hope to spend my "down-time" updating the www.KRnet.org website with some more useful details and information in the next few weeks... so maybe there's a bright side to this mess.
Many thanks to all the folks who helped me at OSH, especially Larry and Gwen Howell. And thanks to Rob for handling the KR Forum with only two hours notice.
Please don't reply to this message, as KRnet already has enough flotsam and jetsam in the archive...
