The competition is going to be tough this year. That looks like and sounds
like what we all are trying to build.

See you in Mt. Vernon - 2004 - KR Gathering http://KRGathering.

That's a great looking KR! I can't wait to see it in person in Mt. Vernon.
To appreciate just how hard Bill has worked, here is the stage his KR was in
just 10 1/2 mont
Bill, AUsome:
Instead of going to bed I'm going to work on the spars. Absolutely a beauty.
Very well done.

Bill Clapp now has 22 hours on his KR2S with no problems. He's already had
it up to 10,500 feet and it would still turn 3600 rpm, with lots of climb
rate left. Looks like he'll make it to the Gathering, weather permitting.
My rudder is now installed, "final" tailwheel installation by lunchtime,
Congratulations, Mark. It won't be long, now.

Is this the same Bill Clapp that used to work for NWA back in 88?? I met a
Bill, back then that had a Turbo KR2.
I made a trip to the airport today and set the plane up to fly, checked
radio's, preflight and the like and the winds were 90 degrees across the
runway at 17 knots. Came back home
O
s the fault of
the guy who bought it, not Bill's construction.

I just spent well over an hour talking to Bill Clapp. He said he just had
to call me to tell me how sweet his plane flew, following the new-wing
scheme of things! I believe his exact words were "just had to let you know
that your numbers were right on". His is the first KR2S to fly

I'm just telling you what he said. Don't shoot the messenger.Maybe what
he meant was "it's not backwards" or
