KR> Airventure cup race
OK, it looks like my fuel tank is sealed up and doesn't leak, and the wings should go back on the plane late this weekend, so I should be able to make the Airventure Cup race. I was on the fence about this and my wife finally said "you only live once, you'll love it", so I'm in. At least Jeff Lange will have somebody to race in the Sportsman class this year. Judging by his previous speeds, it will be close! So for those folks who volunteered to help defray costs, you are welcome to throw it in my Paypal account (account name n5...@hiwaay.net ), or email me for my home address if you want to mail a check. It cost $275 to enter, and the fuel for the race alone will be another $75 or so. There's no pressure, and I don't expect anybody in particular to contribute, but if you'd like to, I won't turn it down. Thanks, Mark Langford n5...@hiwaay.net website www.n56ml.com
KR> KR2 boat up for grabs
Builders, I have a KR2 boat that I took off Larry Flesner's hands last month. It was in his way and he wanted to see it put to some good use, so I was going to saw it up for the wooden spars and mahogany plywood material. But it's occured to me that the best utilization of this thing is to use it as a mockup and go-by for somebody building a KR2S. There's a lot of ambiguity in the plans that leads to much head scratching and deliberation, but to have a pre-built boat just sitting in the corner (or even out in the back yard) would be a big head start to a builder. Another very handy function is as a mockup to help the builder determine how wide he needs to make his version, how much leg room, panel and canopy height, and all of those ergonomic details that are difficult to visualize from thin air. Mike Sylvester did this, he'd probably agree that it was useful. The construction of this boat is pretty decent, but it's a KR2, not a KR2S. The stub wings and tail surfaces are already foamed and covered with a very rough layer of Dynel, so that's another reason I wouldn't try to reclaim the thing and finish building it. The Dynel dates it as about 30 years old. The center stick is installed and the cables are run, so moving the stick around results in aileron bellcranks rotating and the elevator moving. The stick is an interesting thing incorporating a bearing, and seems to work fine. From a hardware standpoint, that's about all that's in this thing. I should probably post photos of this thing but I'm in a real rush to finish my plane up, and would rather not spend the time. And for the purposes of mockups/go-bys, you shouldn't care what it looks like anyway. I'd rather provide some use for this thing to a builder, rather than just saw it up for a little wood. It's in Huntsville, Alabama (northeastern corner of the state), and it can be picked up anytime, the sooner the better.I brought it down on the back of a little Ford Explorer, so it doesn't take much of a truck or trailer to move it. If nobody claims it in the next two or three weeks, I won't feel bad about sawing it up for the wood... Mark Langford n5...@hiwaay.net website www.n56ml.com

KR> builders in the south sound area
KR-listers, I just got back on the list after a year or so of not seeing all the posts due to Iraq deployments. I am in the area south of the Pugent Sound in WA, near Puyallup, and recall from before that there was at least one builder out here who was active on the list. I think his name was John Gotschall, but I have lost his phone number and the email address I had for him no longer works. If anyone has a phone number or email for him or any other builders in this area, please send them to me offline at rdrace...@aol.com I need to do some repair work on my airplane and will be needing expert advice, as well as morale support, once I get started so you will probably here more from me then. Before I get started if any one has personal information, photos, etc. on repairing damage done by landing hard on the original plans built retractable landing gear, I could use it. Send it to me offline at rdrace...@aol.com thanks, Todd Thelin Spanaway, WA rdrace...@aol.com

Too bad this couldn't be put somewhere with a webcam in it so folks could log on and see the sections. Realtors do this with houses for sale. Beyond my paygrade though.

KR> KR-2 boat and foam
KR builders, I also have a KR-2 boat and wing spars (not installed) plus enough foam (I'm told) to build the wings. The foam is still in the Wicks packaging. Nothing else included with the project - no plans, no hardware, no gear, - nothing else. It's basically free for the asking, but you gotta pick it up. I'm located near Taylorville, IL., which is a few miles southeast of Springfield. If you wish to make a donation to the KR Gathering fund, that would be nice. I'll pass it on to whomever is in charge of the fund. I have a picture of the boat that I could e-mail to anyone interested. No phone calls please. E-mail me at ejanssen"at"chipsnet.com. Ed Janssen
