Sun n Fun was just as fun and eventful as always though with the added complexity of being an exhibitor this year. I did do the smart thing and fly down to Lakland a couple days early to avoid the Notam and traffic. It was a nice smooth and uneventful 1.5 hour trip listening to my MP3 and watching for traffic. Beautiful day. Sunday and Monday were spent setting up the displays and moving trailers and such. I did not have much time to see all the stuff out there but did enjoy meeting friends and many new people. Joe Horton was the only other KR there as far as I know. Thanks for making the trip JOE! My plane was in our tent and not on the flight line. The start of our show was our IFB (Integral Front Bearing) and our new plane kits slated for delivery after Oshkosh. Check out our website for more info. Glenda, Steve Makish, and Bob Lester were some other KR people there. The HOOTERS KR Dinner was a blast with many friends and good food. Thanks to Jack for setting that up. After an very busy week I cleaned up N41768 for a 1.3 hour trip home on Monday. It was smooth and quick due to a nice tailwind. I will post info online soon about the conversion in my plane - a bunch of interesting stuff on it. I would like to thank all of those who came to visit and see who we are and our direction. We (Aeromax) hopes to have products available soon for the KR market. Some of those who were at the show got to see the new spars, WAFs, and other components that will be out soon. Wing skins and control systems will be available after Oshkosh.
For those interested, I will posssible by putting N41768 up for sale in a couple months. There are some final details I want to do to it but it has been a plane that has served me well. I am putting all my efforts into the new plane I am building and hope to have at Oshkosh. Im not sure about the price on it but it will come with a new engine and other goodies. For those who are considering a great flying plane send me an email. Bill Clapp - Aeromax Aviation Manager KR2S builder and pilot Valdosta, GA aeromaxaviation.com / billclapp.com
