Good Call, With limited vacation time and a family that demands - and rightfully so - a good share of it, it is nearly impossible to justify more than one big meeting per year, particularly if it is half way across the continent.
My destiny each year is OSHKOSH, for the simple reason that it is the most complete gathering of all. Here I do not only meet folks building one or two aircraft types, but can collect information on everything that is related to building your plane at home. Whether it is all the developments around aircraft engines, new building materials, Workshops, Avionics, you name it, it most likely is there. So besides meeting the other folks it gives me the most bang for the buck. I chose to build the KR-2S for several reasons, the most important ones are: 1. Build to Plans: No major expense for purchasing a kit require. I can pay as I go along, and I most likely go along as I can afford it. This may not be the most effective way in doing it, but so be it. 2. Modifications: The simplicity of the design really invites to modifications, after all from what I read and hear the KR-2 is the ancestor of a lot of 'advanced' designs such as the GlasAir. 2. KR-Net: I found this group an extremely good example of comprehensive knowledge and help that this available on the internet. It is with some sorrow that I hear that KR-pilots do not come to the large gatherings. IF would be nice if at least one or two finished KR's show up at Oshkosh this year, as I have already booked my tickets for that show. On the other hand I would certainly take the opportunity to visit a more local fly-in or gathering. Our young Rhode Island Chapter 1363 is currently organizing a fly in for late May, early June. I will keep you posted for the exact dates.

I dream of going to the Kr gatherings but IM a realest I cant take that much time off without a lot of planing and money. IM not willing to give up my fishing trip money for others and spend that money to fly so far just to come back all rag out for others that may piss me off because of there big heads that have zero time in a Kr or a light aircraft the fact is if i ran in to some of the folks the put me down for my poor spelling god help them IM Irish and it would be pay back time. I hope to make sun and fun and VA eaa fly in if not that's life give the poor folk a break the Kr wrote the book on economy thats how i made my dream come true if you what to see a kr find somebody on the net and go see it fly maybe a ride mac the knife and im on your six! flymaca711689@aol _______________________________________ to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
