I have been trying to pass my Medical for about ten years, with no luck. I built this Kr2 many years ago, flew it. The first time, only to have the kr landing gear collapse because I never got the bulletin to put bigger bolts in landing gear. I rebuilt the plane using the same gear as John Shaffer-N 455JS. The only difference is I made it electric hydraulic. This plane is powered with a Suburu E81 engine and propelled with a Al Shouse wooden prop. It has a 16 gallon Aluminum gas tank and hydraulic brakes. It has always been hangered and run about 4 times a year. I feel I am not capable at 79 to fly this plane. Also Ellason Throttle body carb.
This plane is located in Benson,Mn. I can be reached at 1-320-843-4525 or my cell 1-612-720-9216 or E-mail cjijlin at charter.net Thank You, Kelly Lindblad, 311-16th St. So., Benson, Mn. 56215 -----Original Message----- From: krnet-request at list.krnet.org Sent: Sunday, April 05, 2015 11:00 AM To: krnet at list.krnet.org Subject: KRnet Digest, Vol 3, Issue 90 Send KRnet mailing list submissions to krnet at list.krnet.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://list.krnet.org/mailman/listinfo/krnet_list.krnet.org or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to krnet-request at list.krnet.org You can reach the person managing the list at krnet-owner at list.krnet.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of KRnet digest..."

Most gas cans also have tight fitting caps. Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA -------------------------------------------------- Same logic that my homeowners insurance used when they could care less if my garage attached to my house and next to my bedroom had two cars and a riding mower with gas and all the gas cans I wanted, but they refused to insure my hanger separate from the house because it contained an airplane. Makes no difference that the cars can be 50 years old with rusting steel tanks and the plane is inspected regularly to FAA standards. <brian.kraut at eamanufacturing.com> -------------------------------------------------------------------- So, that begs the question, why is 200 gallons of fuel stored in the tanks of an airplane more save than 20 gallons of fuel stored in approved containers that are completely sealed? Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC ------------------------------------------------------------------- I rented my second one to a guy with a Cessna 210. He told me one day that he'd lost 19 gallons of 100LL out of the wing tank and onto the floor of the hangar about a week earlier. Apparently his petcock failed somehow and drained one wing tank. _______________________________________________ ------------------------------ Message: 2 List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Sat, 04 Apr 2015 19:17:12 -0600 From: budz <budz at shaw.ca> To: krnet at list.krnet.org Subject: Re: KR> Adelaide visit Message-ID: <55208D18.40904 at shaw.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed I am visiting my son in Adelaide April 10 to 20.

It's one of the few places in WA where you can get booze-free gas. That said, I found a private airport that rents T-hangars for $150/mo and is closer to my house than any other field that's not a residents-only-airpark, so that was an easy choice...
