Just a progress report. Returned from Iraq in Dec and now in final sand/finish stages. Jeff York dropped by and said hello when he was in town for Sprint last week, and he gave me a lot of good ideas on priming/painting. Got my N number from the FAA, N1852Z on Monday. I had the EAA chapter Tech Counselor come by last night to look my KR2S project over. He had some misc. comments on protecting the wiring in the engine area better, how to do the cotter pins and safety wire correctly and adding a control stop on the elevator. He said it looked pretty good overall and said it shouldn't be any problem when the time comes to check it out. Even better yet, he's also a DAR here in KC so he will be the guy to do the final review. My target is May/June to get it past the inspection and fly the hours off in June/July/August. If all goes as planned, count me in for the gathering (flying this time instead of driving). All is well and it is good to be home working on the plane again.
