Gathering Update 9/6/2021,

Everything is on track for the Gathering later this week.

Shirts and hats are ordered, catering for Saturday night is a go.

Camping will be right behind our EAA hangar K on the west side of the
airfield, we will have a porta-potty set up Weds night. 

We have 4 forums set up for the attendees. We will plan to conduct these
presentations in our Large Main Hangar (outdoor conditions). 

Friday
10:00 am.  Presentation by Brendan and Allie Palmer. They will update us on
their KR aircraft build, plus a discussion on Missions and Bible Translation
across the world.
1:00 pm.  Presentation by Rob Schmitt. General KR Aircraft discussion.
General state of the KR aircraft, specifications, resources, engine options,
etc.

Saturday.

10:00 am.  Fiberglass demonstration by Griff Picket. 
1:00 pm. Presentation by Larry Flesner on Weight and Balance. 

Saturday morning will be aircraft judging by EAA Chapter 91 Technical
Advisor Mark Burrow.

6:00 pm. Banquet and Awards Presentation. 

Other than the Saturday night Banquet, we will be using the grills and
griddles from the EAA Chapter for informal breakfasts, lunches, dinners. 
I am sure I will be asking for help from our attendees/Chapter members to
cook these meals as needed. 
Expect just basic burgers, brats, hotdogs, pancakes, etc for these meals.
We'll have a donation jar for those who eat these meals. 

We may have a visitor from the EAA Saturday night after the Banquet.
Charlie Becker (Director, Chapters & Homebuilt Community Manager) is in town
for a family event and plans to drop by. 
He would like to talk with us about AirVenture 2022 and the 50th anniversary
of the KR.  We should be able to plan something special for the KR at next
year's airshow. 

Thanks,

Rob Schmitt

KR Gathering attendees.

Covid information for Lee's Summit, Jackson Co MO. 

There are no vaccination requirements to attend the gathering. 

We plan to do the majority of the activities in our large open hangar that
many of you will remember from 2017. We do not need to wear masks in this
open hangar. 

We do have an indoor training room which is air conditioned. Weather
permitting, we should still try to do all activities in the hangar if
possible. 

Please bring a mask, there are "County" requirements for wearing masks in
indoor spaces. That may end soon, but there is no guarantee of that. 

Of course, if you desire, please wear a mask at any time you wish. 


Flying in without ADSB is fairly easy. Follow the notification rules and the
ATC folks will gladly let you in to our airport. Every one I have talked to
says there is no hassle from ATC.

Thanks,

Rob Schmitt

KR> 2019 KR Gathering Update

2019-04-02 Thread John Bouyea via KRnet
Welcome to Gary, Dan & John, the most recent people to preregister for the
2019 KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon over Sept. 13 - 15!

We now have 13 KRs planning to attend. Not a record yet, but then again,
it's only April.

Good news that the restaurant is scheduled to be operational again later
this spring. That's great news as it makes an open menu and your choice of
meals during the event easy.

More good news that we only have 2 open positions left on the Coordinators
role; Onsite Registrations & Spouse/ Guest activities. Please step forward
to volunteer to help make this event great.

Previously mentioned, we did get a reduced rate for hotel accommodations at
The Fairfield Inn and Suites.

The details on all this and more are found on the http://www.krgathering.net
site.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in September.

Just a reminder.  We will have tables set up for items for sale. It looks like 
this year we're a little slim on the raffle prizes.   The cash ( gift 
certificates)  prizes are from Aircraft Spruce Dynon avionics and Wicks 
aircraft  this year totaling $650.  So, how about this for an idea.  If you're 
not able to sell your items how about put it on the raffle table. It will save 
you the hassle of bringing the stuff back home.   Starting to load the Jeep.  I 
should have enough room for one trip.🤔

Hello KR enthusiasts, new to the group, please update how things go at the KR 
gathering, making a solid plan for next years festivities. Just throwing this 
newbie question out there. Has any of the builders out there considered using 
the 4 stroke 1100 cc turboed efi engine with a gear reduction set up? I had 
mine chipped, reved 7800 rpm, produced an easy 240 hp all day long, and weighs 
175lbs complete. I have seen dyno tests at 3200 rpm make 120-130 hp.
This engine uses a remote res for the engine for lubrication. These engines are 
in the 2013 and up arctic cat snowmobiles, and turboed 3 cylinder in the Yamaha 
snowmobile line. May not even need the gear reduction, unless your feeling 
greedy for power, they require min 91 octane, ran mine on 100ll. Just a thought

We are looking for one more judge.  If you are interested send me an email.  We 
follow the guidelines of the EAA Home Built Judges Standers. If you are not 
flying in or you are willing to not be judged (other then peoples choice) You 
can be a judge.  You should possess a sound background in amateur built 
aircraft construction.  Below is the link to the EAA Judging Standards Manual.  
   
https://www.eaa.org/~/media/files/airventure/about/awards/2017-eaa-judging-standards-final.pdf
Again this year Aircraft Spruce is providing $100 gift certificates for best 
judged and People's Choice.  From what I've been seeing and heard.  We're going 
to have a very competitive Gathering this year. Good luck everyone.

Gathering attendees,

I'm not seeing anything on the Friday evening schedule so I took the 
liberty to ask a couple of friends of mine, the Naas Brothers, to 
provide a bit of musical entertainment for an hour or two in the 
terminal.  These guys do the wine trail and special events circuit and 
do a bit of folk, Simon and Garfunkel, Beetles, and an original tune or 
two.  I will probably join them for a bit and do a couple original tune 
including the "Sanding Song #2" and one I wrote last fall honoring WWII 
fliers called "American Heroes".   These guy are down home garage 
singers and sound better live then in this workshop recording. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afn0vOEEjUA 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkD9JJO-hWg   I think you'll enjoy their 
performance.  These guys are "KR caliber" as you can see his flute is 
made of PVC pipe. :-)


John, Put them on the schedule from 6:00PM to 7:30PM.  They may go a bit 
longer if there is anyone to play to.

Speaking of "root beer", I will secure two cases of "root beer", one 
light and one dark, tomorrow to be used for refreshments at the camp 
site.  I also secured a donation to cover most of the cost of the 
price kick for the steaks.  I hated to tell Donny no as we are his 
favorite group and he wanted to go all out for us.  Anyway, the cost 
is not an issue, just don't belly ace to me that your steak wasn't 
done EXACTLY the way you like it.  Eat it, like it, and have a good

Just one more month till the Gathering at Mt.Vernon.  Anyone wanting 
a shirt or hat for this years Gathering will need to get the order in 
by the cutoff date of August 20, just 10 days from now.  I was much 
more flexible in the past but my supplier (my next door neighbor) is 
easing in to retirement and my options are limited.  Also,  unlike 
past years, I will not be taking orders at the Gathering and mailing 
shirts / hats.  I will have a few extra of common sizes at the 
Gathering but can't guarantee having a hat or shirt your size unless 
you pre-order.  If you order a hat / shirt and are unable to attend 
the Gathering, I will sell your order at the Gathering.  Sorry to get 
so persnickety in my old age but nine years of tracking / shipping/ 
etc. orders for hats and shirts outside the Gathering dates has 
proven not to be worth my time and effort.

So, if you want a hat or shirt, order (pre-register 
at  http://www.bouyea.net/KRGathering/ ) by August 20 or send me an 
e-mail ( flesner at frontier.com ) with shirt size by August 20.

John,  if possible, plan to have all registrations posted on the 20th 
and I will use that as a final count.  Thanks...

KR> Gathering update

2016-06-18 Thread Larry Flesner


I hope to have the 2016 Gathering  forum schedule posted in the next 
few days. There have been some changes and additions.   I'll advise 
when it gets posted.

If you haven't registered yet and hope to order a hat and shirt, 
please do so in the next few days.  I hope to place the first order 
in the next week or so and would like to include as many as possible 
in order to hold down shipping cost.

Thanks

Gathering attendees,

I'm starting to put things together for the 2016 Gathering.  The 
Drury Inn and Suites will be the lodging for this year.  It is 
located next to the interstate, opposite side from the Holiday 
Inn.  Twenty rooms are blocked until September 1.  Blocked are 10 
rooms with a single King bed and 10 rooms with double Queen beds for 
those that wish to double up with a fellow attendee.  The discounted 
rate for KR Gathering attendees is $94 a night, discounted from their 
normal rate of $135 a night.  I was a bit shocked at the price 
increases since 2013 but it is what it is.  There are a number of 
other motels in Mt.Vernon if you wish to find a lower rate.  Just 
google motels , Mt.Vernon, Illinois.  Camping on the field is encouraged.

I had my first meeting with the hat and shirt lady (my Neighbor) this 
afternoon.  We worked on logo so no decision yet on actual hats / 
shirts.  I'm leaning toward light denim as we had 5 or 6 years ago 
(yes, with a pocket) and seemed rather popular.  Hats will be $15 and 
shirts $25 with whatever is the final choice and I will lower the 
price if possible when final decisions are made.  I'm asking John 
Bouyea, via this post, to open the registration page on the Gathering 
web site so you may begin to register provided you trust my judgement 
on the hat / shirt issue.  If you want to see them first, please wait 
to register so that you can register and place your order all at the 
same time.  That would save much confusion down the road.

Anyone having ideas on forums, wanting to see a specific forum, or 
wishing to volunteer to lead a forum, communicate those request to 
Paul Visk ( mailto:ppaulvsk at aol.com">ppaulvsk at aol.com ).

Any questions:  mailto:flesner at frontier.com">flesner at

I love the drive from the mid-west. The northern route through Billings climbs 
through gorgeous mountains to Spokane, then down the Columbia Gorge, following 
the route of Lewis and Clark. Further south you can cross the Wallowa and Blue 
Mts. from Boise to Pendleton following the Oregon trail. South from that are 
the Strawberry Mts. and Mt. Jefferson into the Willamette valley. From Northern 
Nevada are Mt. Shasta and Crater Lake N.P. into Medford. All are lovely 
wilderness experiences, and all climb out of the dry desert into the fresh 
blues and greens of Oregon, just the way the pioneers did a century ago. Come 
see. Peter

KMMV is McMinnville, OR.  See http://www.airnav.com/airport/KMMV for airport 
info, or Google for how to get there.  It?s the home of the museum that houses 
the Spruce Goose, among other things.  I?m sure the upcoming webpage will 
detail the attractions.  It?s in early September, as is often the case with KR 
Gatherings.  It?s definitely the place to be to get up to speed on KRs in a 
hurry, as well as put faces with names of folks on the list?

That was at Pine Bluff, my first Gathering after getting back into building
a KR, having sold my first one.  I was sitting outside with not much to do.
It was right after 9-11 and the turn-out of KRs was low, but I was thinking
"I already built a KR and already know how to do that".  Well maybe I did
know how to "do that", but what I did not know was "how to do that - RIGHT".
I decided to listen in, since there wasn't much else to do and for the rest
of building the Black Bird, I followed every step that I learned that day.



Thank you Mark!

As I recall, the time that Mark Langford conducted an "Introduction to 
Fiberglassing" workshop at a Gathering, it was well attended.  If he's planning 
to come to Oregon for the Gathering and is willing to do the demonstration, I 
will volunteer to have a throwaway tail section (wood and foam) ready to be 
glassed and will provide some generic glass cloth, Aeropoxy, disposable gloves, 
mixing cups, peel ply, plastic sheeting, and all the other props needed for him 
to put on his dog & pony show.  I may even be able to liberate the calibrated 
scales from our materials testing lab in order to keep the meticulous Mr. 
Langford happy when he gets ready to proportion the resin and hardener.  And 
even if Mark has other plans, I know Jeff Scott could probably be coaxed into 
doing the workshop.

Personally, I'm keen to see how to make those sharp, crisp, hard, thin trailing 
edges on control surfaces.  I know you cut back the edge of the foam before it 
feathers down to nothing and then fill in with micro that hardens to form the 
edge, but I've never done it and never seen it demonstrated.

KR> Gathering update?

2014-09-05 Thread kgartrell74
Hi all -

Been lurking and learning from all the emails for some time now. About a
year ago I bought Bob Morrissey's KR2-S project (in boat stage with spars
built). Need to stop procrastinating and get busy on this thing, but a
little unsure.

The mention of a Fiberglass Workshop going on in Chino got me looking at
Mark L.'s website as well as an archive search for some instruction on
attachment of foam to wood surfaces and fiberglass layup. I think I have a
basic idea. I have a buddy who has built 2 Lancair's. He says this is a
different procedure. I want to be certain to get good adhesion between
wood/foam/glass.

Here's the real question:

Is there any videos that I could watch or download to get a better idea of
this process? Am I just too stupid to find them in the archives or on
n56ml.com? Is it possible to tape the Workshops? (Maybe too late).

Thanks for all the info and ideas on this group!

One more Gathering "in the books" !!!  Good turnout in spite of the 
weather.  We did have part of Friday and Saturday that turned out to 
be really nice weather.

I made it home around noon today after loading all the Gathering 
"stuff" in my truck and securing my KR in the hangar.  A "very quick" 
count on the finances looks like another break even year with the 
help of donations at the banquet.  Give me a few days to get things 
together for an accurate count.  I do have shirts let to sell and 
I'll post that in a few days as well as getting started shipping the 
hats / shirts to those requesting mailings.

Netters,

A brief update on Gathering funds.  Our balance right now stands at 
$4865.00, down just a bit from last year.  I still have a few checks 
coming my way for hats and shirts but have not yet given Chris 
Collins a $250 check for airport facility usage.  He said that is not 
necessary but I feel we owe them something for using their terminal 
for three or four days, totally free hangar space for the KR's for 
three nights in a new 11,800 sq.foot hangar, setting up the camp site 
with trash cans and firewood, providing us with free transportation, 
and all the other perks they provide, i.e., two complete bathrooms in 
the new hangar with showers,  etc., etc., etc.  It also helps him 
keep the airport board off his back for any additional expenses he 
may incur for the Gathering.  A real deal, I think, by anyones 
standards.  That has been the policy for past Gatherings and I hope 
to continue it in the future.  I will post a complete line item 
accounting to the Gathering site when all is complete.

I still have a few shirts left if someone wants one.  I have the 
following quantity and sizes: 3 each size "large", 1 each size "extra 
large", and 2 each size "3XL".  Cost is $23 per shirt plus Mailing 
cost of approximately $8.00 USA.  Out of country can be considerably 
more.  Exact cost of postage will be determined at time of 
mailing.  If you are interested in a shirt, e-mail off net 
at  fles...@frontier.com .  First come, first served, till they are 
gone.  We now have Gathering hats and shirts being proudly worn as 
far away as Canada, New Zealand, and Brazil.  Make sure you puff your 
chest a bit when wearing them out in public. :-)

I flew the KR today (3 flights) for the first time since completing 
the annual this past weekend.  The new four tube exhaust is AWESOME 
  Sounds great and the extra power is VERY noticeable.  More rpm 
on takeoff and climb and in cruise.  I can really feel the extra kick 
and I appear to be getting and extra 5+ mph on wide open 
throttle.  The air was cool today, 45F and flying at 2000 msl, but 
I've never seen 180mph on the ASI in wide open throttle in level 
flight before. The cabin heat, after flying without it for seven 
years, is nice too.  I sure hated to put it back in the hangar after 
the last flight.  Keep building all you builders out there.  You have 
no idea of the fun that awaits you. :-) :-)

KR> Gathering update

2011-10-21 Thread Jeff York
Larry,

I regret that was unable to attend this year's gathering due to work and and 
other commitments. By the way my foot is much better than it was when you all 
seen me at the 2010 gathering. Its still not 100% but I can fly again. I too am 
in annual and want to make a few updates.

I would enjoy getting a Large shirt and a hat. Put me on the list. 


If you want that exhaust to be well protected, I might suggest Jet hot ceramic 
coating. They do the inside and outside. Most places only do the outside of the 
pipes. It helps lower heat under the cowl too. I think Steve Bennent and a few 
others may have used Jet Hot and they stand behind it with a life time no 
questions asked guaranty. Their customer service is an example of what all 
companies should aspire to. I think Steve B.'s at Great Plains Aircraft's is 
too.

Sorry for the delay in giving an update on the Gathering.  I've been 
a bit busy.

Attendance was down a bit over past years at the banquet but a good 
time was had by all.  I still have to mail and collect on hats and 
shirts that were pre-ordered.  I hope to take care of that in the 
next week or so.  I may be contacting some of you expecting hats and 
shirts to get a complete mailing address.  I also will have some 
extra shirts to sell, mostly in the "large" and "extra large" sizes, 
and when that is completed, we should come out within one or two 
hundred dollars of our beginning balance from last year.  I will post 
the number of shirts for sale and give a complete accounting of the 
funds on the Gathering site when completed.  Thanks to all those that 
donated in the "pass the hat" at the banquet.

I will also be contacting Chris Collins, the airport manager, to see 
what dates are available for next years Gathering.  I hope to 
announce that in the next few weeks also.

Thanks for your patients.  Keep those KR's flying and keep making 
sawdust on your projects.  My KR should be through it's annual in a 
week or two with new light weight four tube stainless steel 
exhaust.  New brake pads, tire rotation, and several other items were 
on the list this year.  I hope to be back in the air soon.

P.S.  Joe Horton, I still have your trophy and I'll get it mailed to

Bob, 
Yes Larry always does a spectacular job. Thank you Larry
I know that plane does not start with a C but it does look like a prize winner 
from last year!  LOL
By the way Bob, thank you for the KR & C dinner at Oshkosh this year, that was 
very gracious of you and your wife for putting up with us.

OK netters, the Gathering is just about upon us, it is time to ready your 
camping equipment, get the plane or car juiced up, put the kids back in school. 
Then come and spend a long weekend in MtVernon Illinois looking at and talking 
KRs with the flyers and wantabeez. You can make a cheap trip out of it if you 
camp out so come on we need your presence. It's a lot of fun for old and young 
guys and gals
I can't remember how many days are left to get ready?
Jonezy how many???

Fellow netters,

If you haven't been to www.krgathering.org lately, check in soon for 
update on hats / shirts, and awards.  Make sure you click on both the 
awards and shirt picture for more details.

At this point it appears we have volunteers for judging the KR's, 
thanks to Bob Glidden and Michael Sylvester.  We could use one 
additional judge and I'm asking Bob Glidden to "choose" another "volunteer".

Rich Hartwig is doing name tags, and I've got the hats / shirts 
covered as well as the awards.  I'm working on the banquet with 
Donnie Wilkie, the restaurant owner/manager.  Chris Collins, the 
airport manager, will help cover most of the terminal setup and some 
of his crew will help at the registration table.  The registration 
table, with hat and shirt sales, is one of the most demanding duties 
time wise, requiring two eight hour shifts, and I'm sure they would 
appreciate someone giving them an occasional break. I'll provide the 
P.A for the forums and I've had several volunteers to lead the 
discussions.  It looks like we're getting our ducks all in a row.  It 
won't be long now.  If you haven't already made plans, start doing so TODAY.

If I've forgotten anything, shoot me an e-mail at  fles...@frontier.com

KR> 2005 KR Gathering update

2008-10-12 Thread larry flesner


Netters,

The 2005 KR Gathering is fast approaching and if you haven't already
made plans to attend, you'd best get started on your "pre-flight" !!

The new airport manager at Mt.Vernon says the airport belongs to
the KR crowd for the weekend.  Let's plan on making this years
Gathering even bigger and better than last years.

Forums:

I'm cutting down the number of forums this year from 8 to 4.  It was
rushed last year and I'd like to give the attendees a bit more time
to look at, touch, and drool over the KR's.  The Gathering web page
has been updated with the forum schedule.  We'll have one forum
each morning and each afternoon on Friday and Saturday.  They
are: Airframe, systems, engines, and W&B+ registration+ flying
a KR.  I'm having 25 registration packets made available for those 
builders that are nearing completion.  I will be asking several builders/
pilots to help out at the different forums and if you would like to
contribute, e-mail me off net at ( fles...@midwest.net. )

Hotels:  The Holiday inn has limited rooms available this year so if
you'd like to stay there, please register asap.  There are many other
fine motels available also and that info is available on the Gathering
website ( www.krgathering.org ).

For those of you bringing spouces, the Cedarhurst Craft Fair will be
going on that same weekend and is something they might enjoy
attending.  There should be enough for them to do so they can enjoy
the trip to the Gathering as much as you do.

Meals:  I'm planning on having meals available at the airport again
this year for Friday lunch and dinner, Saturday lunch, and of
course the Saturday evening banquet will be held in the airport
terminal, the same as last year.

Shirts and hats:  Check out the Gathering web page for the shirts and
hats for this years Gathering.  If you plan to attend and haven't
pre-registered, please do so ASAP.  Hats and shirts are pretty much
on a pre-order basis, similar to last year.  I may have a few extra but
please don't count on it.  I'm trying to limit the financial exposure in
this area and still make everyone happy.  I have the first round of 
orders finished and in the box and plan to submit another order soon
so get your request in via the pre-registration forms.  If you've already
pre-registered and need to change/update an order, please e-mail 
me direct with your request to my e-mail address given above.

This will be my 16th Gathering without a missed year and I'm
looking forward to seeing the many old friends I've made and 
hopefully see some new KR's and make new friends that I'll get 
to see again next year.

Speaking of next year, we usually change locations every couple
of years so if you'd like to host the Gathering for 2006 or know
someone that does, start making plans now to bring your
"sales pitch" to the Gathering.  Next years location will be voted
on at the awards banquet Saturday evening.  And speaking of
awards, they are finished and in the box also, just waiting for
someone to fly in to the Gathering and fly home with a throphy.

HOW MANY MORE DAYS, MARK JONES ?

KR> Gathering update

2008-10-12 Thread larry flesner


Netters,

I just got an update from Bob Lee and here are some of the numbers
for the Gathering as it stands right now.

73 preregistrations with 32 states and Canada represented. Willie
Wilson is planning on attending from England also.

18 attendies indicated they intend to fly their KR's to the Gathering.
That does not include the several "overly optimistic" builders that
said they would fly in but will not have their projects completed (ML & MJ).

Good weather could make this years Gathering a record setting event!

Don't forget to go to the www.krgathering.org site and print out a flyer
to post at the local airports.  The discount price for the Holiday Inn
rooms is good only till the end of this month.  If you plan to book the
Holiday Inn, get it done now.  Other hotel info is available at the 
Gathering web site.

If you are a KR builder, flyer, or dreamer, Mt.Vernon will be the place
to be in September!

I don't recall seeing that info in the past on the Gathering website.  I
recall
a lot of "Netters" posting saying they were flying in at a certian time and
would share a ride from the airport or saying "I'm driving from X and have
room for a passanger, etc.  I'll see what we can do.  How about it Netters?

When you post something on this subject, PLEASE put your e-mail
address in the body of the message so responders will e-mail you directly
and we don't get a hundred replys saying "I'll meet you at X, or what
time are you leaving?, etc., etc., etc.,.

Below is a "cut and paste" from the Excell fill of those preregistered.
It's a bit difficult to read but if you go through it slowly the info is
there.
It just didn't transfer well from Excell to Eudora.
