I have been trying to pass my Medical for about ten years, with no luck.
I built this Kr2 many years ago, flew it. The first time, only to have the
kr landing gear collapse because I never got the bulletin to put bigger
bolts in landing gear. I rebuilt the plane using the same gear as John
Shaffer-N 455JS. The only difference is I made it electric hydraulic. This
plane is powered with a Suburu E81 engine and propelled with a Al Shouse
wooden prop. It has a 16 gallon Aluminum gas tank and hydraulic brakes. It
has always been hangered and run about 4 times a year. I feel I am not
capable at 79 to fly this plane. Also Ellason Throttle body carb.
This plane is located in Benson,Mn. I can be reached at 1-320-843-4525 or
my cell 1-612-720-9216 or E-mail cjijlin at charter.net
Thank You,
Kelly Lindblad,

Maybe it is because airplane have vented tanks and quick drains while cars
have closed fuel systems. Most gas cans also have tight fitting caps.

Same logic that my homeowners insurance used when they could care less
if my garage attached to my house and next to my bedroom had two cars
and a riding mower with gas and all the gas cans I wanted, but they
refused to insure my hanger separate from the house because it contained
an airplane. Makes no difference that the cars can be 50 years old with
rusting steel tanks and the plane is inspected regularly to FAA
standards.
So, that begs the question, why is 200 gallons of fuel stored in the
tanks
of an airplane more save than 20 gallons of fuel stored in approved
containers that are completely sealed?

I rented my second one to a guy with a Cessna 210. He told me one day
that
he'd lost 19 gallons of 100LL out of the wing tank and onto the floor of
the
hangar about a week earlier. Apparently his petcock failed somehow and
drained one wing tank.

I am visiting my son in Adelaide April 10 to 20. If anyone would like to
chat about kr2 & flying there, it would be fun to visit. C-GJEY first
flew Dec '79.

At least around where I am, some of the public airports sell mogas on-field.
It's one of the few places in WA where you can get booze-free gas.
That said, I found a private airport that rents T-hangars for $150/mo and
is closer to my house than any other field that's not a
residents-only-airpark, so that was an easy choice...
