Since announcing the date for the 2012 Gathering I've have several 
people say that would be a major conflict, including Dan Diehl and 
Marty Roberts.  What about moving the date back one weekend from 9/21 
and 9/22 to 9/ 28 and 9/29 ?  If someone would contact Dan and Marty 
(Dan Heath? :-) ) and see if they could make the following weekend 
we'll look at changing the date.  In the mean time I'll check with 
Chris Collins to check on possible conflicts.  Nothing OFFICIAL yet, 
let's check it out.  This is the 40th anniversary of the KR and I'd 
like to see this years Gathering be the greatest ever.

Happy New Year to everyone.

Gathering attendees,

I have been communicating with Chris Collins for the last week or so 
about the necessity of changing the date for this years Gathering due 
to event conflicts at the Mt.Vernon airport.  Read his e-mail below 
for the details.  Bottom line is that the only way to work around the 
conflicts is to move our Gathering date back one week to September 16 
and 17.  I sincerely hope this date change will not cause anyone to 
change their plans to attend the Gathering, especially those planning 
to attend from outside the U.S.A.

If anyone has major concerns about this change in dates, please get 
back to me at  fles...@frontier.com

I will work with Bob Lee to insure our foreign visitors are contacted.

I will be posting, in the next week or so, a list of volunteers 
needed in the areas of judging, awards,  forums, etc.. Also, I have 
contacted the Holiday Inn for bookings and that info will be posted 
to the Gathering web page in the next few days.  I'll be getting 
started on the hats and shirts as soon as my supplier gets back from vacation.

Here we go again  :-)  How many days, Jones???

KR> Gathering date 2011

[Larry&Sallie Flesner]

I spoke with Chris Collins, the Mt.Vernon airport manager and we 
concluded that September 9 & 10, 2011 would be the best date for the 
Gathering.  Chris has another big aviation event scheduled for 
September also and that will give him two weeks between events.

For those of you that have e-mailed me asking how we fared 
financially on this years Gathering, I have not yet heard from Dana 
after several e-mail request.  I'm sure he will give us an update 
soon and that will be posted to the www.krgathering.org web page.

I will be putting together an outline of the areas for people to 
volunteer.  I will be asking individuals to take complete charge of 
certain activities from planning to completion so that I will have 
more time to spend sharing my KR with fellow attendees as I did for 
the first time this year in Kentucky.  Chris continues to make 
improvements to the airport like the new LARGE hangar that includes 2 
showers that will be available to attendees as well as the facilities 
at the FBO and in the terminal.  Chris and crew are looking forward 
to our return to Mt.Vernon.

Info to follow film at eleven..:-) (inside joke for the 
U.S. netters)

I been able to finalize the date for this years National KR Gathering.  The 
Friday, Saturday and Sunday dates will be September 10,11 and 12 at 
Richmond/Madison Kentucky airport, i39.  I will be posting the phone number 
for the primary hotel very shortly.  There will be camping allowed, not 
nearly as nice as the lake at Mt. Vernon, with hangar bathroom access.  Plan 
on having lunch catered Saturday along with the banquet Saturday evening.  I 
will be asking for people to buy tickets to each one separately as the time 
grows closer so I can give the caterer a good number.  It looks like the 
hotel in Mt. Vernon used about 20 rooms from the reserved block so I am 
going with the same number.

Presumably those F-16 drivers know enough to stay far enough away from
the KR so that their tip vortices don't flip the little bird. I suspect
that they are more used to intercepting something bigger than they are,
rather than something that can fit on one of their wings.

KR> Gathering Date OR PLACE????

 Now, you may never get it

>Daniel R. Heath 


To my knowledge there has never been a "restriction" on how many
years the Gathering took place in any one location.  It has always
been dependent on who wants to host it and and where the
attendees vote to go next.  The "two year" number came about more
from host "burnout" than anything else.  There have been times in
the past that the Gathering has changed locations on an annual
basis.

In my case, two years was enough for me also.  The airport manager
at Mt.Vernon and supporting organizations invited us to return and
have agreed to lend their support.  I agreed to help them out if the
attendees voted to return.  I expect to hand over most of the detail
work to them and only continue in an advisory role and maintain
the final approval on any of the planning and, of course, maintain
control of our funds.  I suppose I felt some small obligation to continue
to host the Gathering at Mt.Vernon, if the attendees voted to return,
as a repayment for the 14 prior years I attended as a visitor and took
advantage of the work of others.

There will be a few small changes to the Gathering next year at
Mt.Vernon such as less room in the terminal commons area and
the awards banquet off site as at other locations.  On the plus
side, Chris Collins, the airport manager and former KR project
owner and Gathering attendee, hopes to improve the facilities
for those wanting to camp.

In the end, the Gathering is for the attendees.  In order to be
successful, it will have to take place at a location and time
that encourages the greatest attendance of KRs and visitors.
Who better to know than those attending.

I hope everyone left "pumped up" and got the sawdust flying
on their projects as soon as they got home and I look forward
to seeing everyone again next year.  The many comments I
heard from this years attendees make me think we had another
successful Gathering.  How many more days, Mark Jones?

Thanks again to everyone that made it possible.

KR> Gathering Date/place follow-up

[larry flesner]

As a follow-up to my earlier post, I'd like to add the following to
let everyone know I don't really have a personal bias as to 
where the Gathering takes place.

Financially for me it really doesn't matter where the Gathering
takes place.  My cost are for a motel room at Mt.Vernon so
I can stay on location and not make the 100 mile round trip 
home each day.  I have several trips to Mt.Vernon for set-up
and teardown as well as meeting with those involved for planning.
I purchase my shirt and hat and pay for my banquet tickets.
Additionally, I have to make arrangements to get both my KR
and truck to Mt.Vernon. Even though it is a short flight from my
home airport, I have to get someone to run me back and forth.
Then there are the expenses of my time for all the shirt and 
hat orders, time purchasing supplies, computer time on setting
up forms, banquet tickets, phone calls, etc. Last year I was
reimbursed $100 to cover some of my unlisted expenses but 
they were probably much less this year and I'm not expecting
any pay on them.

This is not to say that I suspect anyone is questioning my
motives.  I'm just wanting to see the Gathering continue to
grow each year and be a learning and fun experience for everyone.

Enough said I think on my part.

KR> Gathering Date/place follow-up

[rvz]

Since I'm still a wanna-be*, I'll post this as a question rather than
a suggestion.  It's probably been discussed before and I just haven't
noticed it in the archives.

Why wouldn't ya'll want to have the gathering coincide with one of 
the major fly-ins?  If it were Oshkosh I know of at least one airport
(far enough from OSH to avoid the zoo atmosphere) that would host
it and allow camping.  I wouldn't want to discount the importance of
the gathering to anyone, but let's be brutally honest, it is a relatively
small event, and I'm sure at least a few more would attend were it part
of a larger venue.  A few days at another airport prior to Oshkosh
would keep the 'tight-knit' feel of the gathering, allow those who are
so inclined to attend the bigger show, and of course address the 
autumn weather issue.  Another obvious airport choice, if the city
managers allow it, would be Mark Jones' base, Hartford.

Just fuel for the fire here, since I don't really have a 'vote', for the 
moment anyway*.  To be honest, wrapping it around OSH wouldn't
be my first choice, I'd go for Sun-n-Fun (more weather issues) or
Copperstate.  Again, not my place to vote.

Bob

*I recently picked up a pile of KR entrails, and am still trying to decide
what to do with them.  To be specific, I'd like to talk offlist to anyone 
who's cut and spliced a fuselage back together, my questions relate to
how it was done, strength issues at the splice, etc.  As you can probably
guess, wood is a whole new ballgame for me, glass and metal is what
I worked with in the past.

Anyone need a VW engine mount?  Appears to be professionally built,
welds are TIG and look good.  I won't be using it though, got a Corvair
engine in the corner waiting for Corvair College.

After thinking more on the subject, I vote for the last weekend in September
or first weekend in October. Unfortunately we can not please everyone with
the date or location. Therefore, we must all do our absolute best to accept

KR> Gathering Date/place follow-up

[Mark Jones]

I could be wrong but I do not feel that would be a good decision based
on the fact that most folks would have to take a week or more vacation
time to attend a KR Gathering which was backed up to Osh or S&F or any
other major event. On a side note, we had a mini KR gathering at my
hanger at HXF the day before Osh with three KR's there and about 15
folks who drove in. I will do this every year before Oshkosh for those
who are willing to be there. One major KR Gathering a year with mini
Gatherings like I had and others have had is, I feel, the only way to
go.

KR> Gathering Date OR PLACE????

[Lee Van Dyke]

Group,

I have waited to post my opinion for this very reson.  Mississippi looked to
be a new place for a gathering, but it didn't look to be a better place, nor
did it need to be a better place.  I think the Gathering needs to be in a
place that is good for all people.  ie centrally located, good hotels, food,
camping, and meeting rooms/area.  Thank goodness for the terminal this year
with the A/C.  I did not make my disission for next years Gathering on the
presentations, I had 2 locations offered and I voted for the best one.  In
my case that was Mt. Vernon.  I have only been to one location so far, so I
don't have a lot to go off of.  I hope this location will help the Gathering
grow and get better.  My vote is for later, first of Oct somewhere.  And one
gathering a year.  With Sun n Fun, Oshkosh and local stuff that should be
enough.  I hope there are no bad feelings about the location and how Mt
Vernon was brought into the loop again.  Lets just build and fly and have a
GREAT time

KR> Gathering Date

[Dan Heath]

I believe that better weather is available during the month of October and
over the years have heard many comments about the poor weather conditions
during the month of September.  I have now flown to 4 gatherings and this
was the first time that I was able to go to and from the gathering without
incident.  However, it was not without great concern as we had just had the
worst hurricane in my lifetime and were being threatened by another one that
is still sitting off the coast.  We had to check often each day to be sure
that we would be able to get back home and never knew if we were going be
able to stay for the duration of the gathering.

I do not understand how it can possibly be the general consensus that we
continue to have this event during one of the worst times of the year for
flying.   I have always thought that this should be open for debate but it
has always been dictated and that is something I also do not understand.

I too agree with Dan that Sept should be eliminated. Why have we not
spoken of early Spring when everyone is excited about good flying
weather after long dreary winter. Some of the best flying weather I have
experienced has been early Spring. Just a thought. Let's all chip in
their ideas and see what the consensus is.

KR> Gathering Date

[Ed Janssen]

A couple of thoughts when considering dates.  Early Spring usually brings
some pretty stiff winds here in central IL.  Also, in late October, it
starts getting dark pretty early in the evening - 5:00 or so after the time
change.  Either the last week in Sept. or the first week in October would be
my choice.

Spring in southern Illinois (March through May) is very unpredictable
and we often have spring storms ( can you say tornados) and some
years we have rain and low clouds for weeks at time.I'll keep track 
of all replys to  fles...@midwest.net  and we will see what the feeling
of the group turns out to be.  I will not offer any suggestions so as not
to bias anyones thinking.

Reply to me personally.  We don't need hundreds of posts about
dates that everyone will have to wade through.

Dear Netheads,
 After reading many posts about the just passed get together and 
understanding how much you guys look florward to seeing each other and 
exchanging ideas, etc why not have two gatherings during the year.  Spring 
time just as it starts to warm up but is not real hot yet and Fall just 
before it is too cold.  Also, have your get together in the most central 
part of the country.  The airport here in Killeen, Texas (Skylark field) 
would be a perfect place since the new Regional Airport was opened there is 
very little activity at Skylark Field.  There is also plenty of space to 
park KR aircraft.
Fuel is also cheaper there than any other airport in this area that I know 
of.

Dan,

I'll keep track of all the feedback I get before we set a date.  I'll put
you down for October.  Do you have a particular date in mind?

I believe that October 15, the second or third weekend in October, would not
interfere with Copperstate or the other fly in that people were concerned
about. But would people go to both anyway?? Who knows. I just want to give
us better odds for having good weather and I think that September has proven
itself to be pretty bad odds.

I agree with Ed.  Here in Southern Illinois we
sometimes go from winter, into monsoon (and flooding),
directly into summer. I have to be on the tractor any
time it isnt raining in the spring (and sometimes when
it is :-( ) Picking apples will wait a couple of days
in the fall, but I can't take off even when sick or
injured in the spring.

Something else to consider about spring here. We have
daffodils for a month before Wisconsin can even see
the ground through the snow.

My vote is also for late Sept or early October.  I
can't bring apple cider to the gathering if we have it
before we start pressing in mid September. LOL

KR> Gathering Date

After thinking more on the subject, I vote for the last weekend in September
or first weekend in October. Unfortunately we can not please everyone with
the date or location. Therefore, we must all do our absolute best to accept
the final outcome and plan ahead to schedule your time to be at the
Gathering. Whatever is decided upon, I will always make a 110% effort to be
there.

Only problem with Killeen is that it is usually affected by GB's schedule -
His ranch is near and when he's there it become a no fly zone - do you know
the procedure when F-16's appear off your wing?

Rick,
 You are right about the president being at his ranch from time to time 
however this is not a problem.  All one has to do is follow published 
procedures and you can go anywhere within P49 except the last ten miles from 
the ranch.  File a flight plan, get a transponder code from Gray Approach 
Control and be squawking the entire time you are in the air and in the 30 
mile circle, and finally be in radio contact with Gray or Waco until you get 
within 2 miles of the airport in P49 where you intend to land.  They will 
then instruct you to go to the airport frequency and make your calls.  In 
the event you are intercepted by one of the patrolling F-16's just go to 
121.5 and follow the F-16's pilot instructions.  I have made trips from 
Skylark Field in Killeen to Temple when the president was at his ranch and 
never had any problem what-so-ever.

KR> Gathering Date OR PLACE????

[Dan Heath]

The only way that you can get the location of the gathering moved to another
place is to come to the gathering and offer to host it. So there is no point
in rambling on about having it here or there. Now, you may never get it
moved, because apparently, there no longer is a restriction on how many
times we have it at the same place, consecutively. 

See you in Mt. Vernon - 2005 - KR Gathering

See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics 

There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for building
has expired.
