Well. Let me chime in here. I’m 70 and just finished building my second KR2S. It is now ready for its first flight. I have done a couple of short runway hops. First flight is coming real soon. Maybe next week!!! I am also looking to buy an ultralight for some low and slow. Some of us old folks are very fortunate with our health and are still very active in building and flying. I wish my body was as young as my brain thinks it is. 🤣

Oscar its so amazing at your age to be still involved, and continuously changing and improving. It keeps our minds and hands busy. Every time you improve or change you are looking forward to see how everything behaves.
Just make sure your tools are at one place and not scattered around like mine, then spending most of the time looking for them.
Nice to hesr from you.
Best Regards
Tiekie

Well Tiekie, you're so young I'm surprised you can even reach the rudder pedals of a KR ;o)  I just turned 74 a few weeks ago.  I'm not building a KR but in a way I am, because I just started into Year 2 of REbuilding N335KC and a lot of things on the plane will be completely new or reconfigured when I'm done.  Looking at the parts and pieces and wires and tools scattered all around my hangar, you would think I'm building it from scratch though.  It's a very enjoyable and educational experience.
