when I met mine my KR1 was 90 percent finished. I was just barely able to get it to the point where it was ready to take it to the airport that's where my project stalled. Now I suffer from AIDS (airplane induced divorce syndrome) can't wait to go flying

I had to forward those comments to my wife and ask her the question "which one do you resemble?" Unfortunately I'm in basically in the same boat as Mark J. I wonder what the percentage of completed homebuilts is for single men is vs married men...

If my wife had wanted a KR she could have built one. On the other hand she is kind to let me enjoy my toy and considers it a real option to bars and women.

Well, I'm pretty luck as my wife, Gail, has encouraged my flying hobby. What ever else I'm doing I always thing that the money I'm spending would be better spent on flying. (that beer down the pub is more expensive than a litre of AVGAS, and I'm not that much of a beer drinker..anymore) Today is a historic occassion, my wife had here first flight in OUR kr2, and loved it. As we drove to the strip there was fog covering the strip and the taxi ways, all surrounding areas were clear. So DI the KR2 and strap in, taxi to the end of the strip and then wait for visibility to improve. Finally we are rolling though light fog and climb to 2000 ft AGL and do a little 1/2 hour tour of the area around home. I explain to Gail that we may side slip on final to reduce height, no problems, nice perfect glide to the thresh hold, as we settle into ground effect I feel the grass hitting the mains and comment this to her, then a nice perfect 3 pointer, taxi in an put it away. (In to work before 0800) Gail really enjoyed the flight with only one complaint, her bum got numb. I have the standard sling seats and will have to improve on them to make her more comfortable. All in all a great flight with the promise of more to come, Y Haaa. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm

Mark sounds like she is really getting behind you on this building thing. Now make her happy and build a kr-4 Mike Turner Jackson, Missouri Subject: KR> KR's and Wives .
