KR>KR Gathering 2022 @ KMVN/ Call to Register

[John Bouyea]

It's never too early to begin your summer flying plans! And 2022 holds 2
special and specific events for you to add to your calendar;

July 25-31 / Oshkosh Air Venture - we're celebrating 50 years since Ken &
Stu introduced the KR to the world

September 8-11 / the KR Gathering returns to Mount Vernon, Illinois and
running in conjunction with the MidWest Light Sport Expo

 

Oshkosh: A group of KRNet members are working with EAA National staff to
help recognize the unique qualities and techniques that made the KR method
famous (and heavily copied!) Details are yet to be worked out but many years
of KRs appearing on the flight line as well, as Mark Langford hosting the KR
Forum, make our airplanes "regulars" at Oshkosh. It would be great if we
could have a large presence and as many airplanes at Oshkosh as possible.
Several people have already committed to attending. It will be great if you
can bring YOUR KR too! I'll let somebody else pick up the ball to talk about
the Oshkosh effort.

 

KR Gathering: After many years' events at KMVN, Chris Collins the airport
manager told Larry Flesner running the Gathering the same weekend as the LSA
event would be a good thing. KRs after all ARE pretty small airplanes! We
have the opportunity to introduce the KR design to a bunch of new people
while we have our regular gathering. Chris plans the KR gang will have
access to the features and functions that make Mt. Vernon such a great
location, even as another event is taking place. Think great facilities,
friendly people, campfires down at the lake, space for camping on location
and everything else. You can read about the Gathering on our dedicated web
site; http://krgathering.net and the MidWest LSA event;
https://www.midwestlsaexpo.com 

 

Another  word about the Mt. Vernon Gathering. Larry Flesner volunteered to
run the apparel concession again. Thanks Larry!
You can help Larry by signing up the attend the Gathering AND let us know if
you want to buy a ball cap and/ or shirt specially embroidered to
commemorate the 50th Year of KR flight.

KR Gathering 2021
September 10-12, 2021
Lee's Summit Airport - KLXT
Each year KR enthusiasts, builders, and pilots travel to the KR Gathering to
exchange ideas and learn more about the KR series of aircraft.
We talk to fellow pilots, other builders and take lots of photos to assist
in our building process. The best part is when we make and renew friendships
from past Gatherings. 
2021 is the forty-ninth anniversary of KR flight and returns to Lee's
Summit, MO (KLXT.) This will be the second Gathering here. 
The airport and especially the local EAA Chapter 91 make us feel welcome and
it shows! This year's Gathering is hosted by Rob Schmitt with assistance
from others.

[Patrick Panzera via KRnet]

FWIW, the Dragonfly and Quickie people are going forward with their
annual gathering.
KR's share the same VW heritage and would certainly be welcomed. Steve
Bennett used to join us in his KR1.
Mark Langford has joined us as well (once for sure, maybe twice?), but he
drove his VW as his KR2 was still under construction.

[larry howell via KRnet]

Well as we all know Oshkosh and the KR Gathering were X ed out for this year 
but there is a Glimmer of Hope that I’m going to grab a hold of!!
I talked to Chris Collins at MountVernon, Illinois airport home of past KR 
Gatherings airport that Larry Flesner ramrodded for 20 years or so. Chris is 
forging ahead with his LightSport Expo in September that he has held for 
several years. He said to tell all hello and is inviting us all to come and 
join them! 
The dates are September 10,11,12th.
If your interested get your camping gear ready or make motel reservations.
My wife Gwen and I are planning to be there. If any of you need a flyin 
function to sooth your soul I recommend you make plans to attend. The KR Group 
can have impromptu meetings amongst ourselves and enjoy the company if 
interested.
Thought I’d give you guys a heads up to plan if your interested at all!!

Re: KR> KR Gathering 2020 cancelled. Rescheduled for 2021

Thanks Rob.  This 2nd wave made it impossible.  Till then, I thought it was
going to happen.
So, next year.  On the good side, I have a real shot at flying (not a
Sundowner) to Lee's Summit.
See you then.

KR> KR Gathering 2020 cancelled. Rescheduled for 2021

[Rob Schmitt via KRnet]

The members of the KR Gathering Steering Committee made the decision to
cancel this year's KR Gathering that we had scheduled in September 2020 at
the Lee's Summit Airport. 

There were just too many issues with the Covid 19 that were going to make
this difficult for us to execute. The biggest issue was going to be meals
and meal serving at the EAA Chapter. The county also recently instated new
mask wearing policies as well. We are just not sure when any of this was
going to end.  

We would however like to try again in 2021 in Lee's Summit.  The tentative
dates in 2021 will be the weekend of September 10-12. I have already talked
to the Airport Manger and he is good with these dates. 

Sorry for the change, folks.

> Equipping with ADS-B out also might scare the hell out of me.

I had an eye-opening experience yesterday.  I was flying south to 
photograph some earth dam construction I was interested in near 
Birmingham, and took off in "marginal VFR" weather, which was nothing 
more than lots of puffy little clouds I had to dodge.  I also had to go 
around Huntsville airspace because the KR2 can't climb that high that 
quickly, and there was a particularly tall cloud in that direction 
anyway.  I was tuned to HSV approach just to hear what was going on, 
even though I was staying clear of HSV airspace and clouds.  I heard him 
advising another plane about my direction and altitude, and the other 
pilot said he was IMC at the moment anyway, so couldn't see me 
regardless.  Then I got a call from Approach, by tail number, asking if 
I was aware of the other traffic!  I acknowledged that I had him "on the 
scope", had been watching him, was well above and out of his way, and 
thanked him for the oversight.  ADS-b is really cool in so many ways, 
but that one was a bit unnerving.


I also discovered something cool in the iFlyGPS software on my Android. 
There's a data field ("instrument") called "Altimeter Setting" that you 
can add to the display, which shows the barometric pressure at the 
nearest ADSB reporting station.  So you always know what your altimeter 
should be set to, rather than having to check around local stations to 
get that.  This means less wandering all over the sky to me, which is 
always good

[Randall Smith via KRnet]

We applied for a waiver at the Fort Worth Office and one of the questions they 
asked was do you have an electrical system. We said yes and that disqualified 
us from going out and coming back. They would allow us to move the airplane out 
for repairs but we had to have an ADSB before we came back

Re: KR> KR GATHERING 2020

[John Bouyea via KRnet]

Rob and all,
Glad to hear you have active plans in progress for the KR Gathering at Lee's
Summit. HOPEFULLY this mess that is Corona virus will be at a low spot and
travel will be possible coinciding with the event. Someone posted a question
about the ADS-B requirement due to the proximity of KLXT to KMCI. AOPA
recently published guidance regarding getting a waiver of sorts.
As quoted;
"You'll need to use the FAA's ADS-B ADAPT
https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/equipadsb/adapt/ program to make a request to do
your flight. ADAPT stands for "ADS-B Deviation Authorization Preflight
Tool". You can make your request no more than 24 hours out and no less than
1 hour before. AOPA has put together a ADAPT fact sheet
https://www.aopa.org/advocacy/ads-b-adapt that may be helpful as well."
Looking forward to the 2020 KR Gathering!

KR Gathering 2020

We are still on track to have the KR Gathering the weekend of Sep 11-13 at
Lees Summit Airport (KLXT). 

I just talked with the Airport manager. With the current Covid-19
restrictions, it would be cancelled. But no one is projecting they will last
until September. I have not started ordering shirts/hats/meals yet because
of the current situation. I plan to call him back up around the 1st of July
to confirm. The restrictions affect our EAA Chapter as well, but still think
September will be clear. 

Side note, the Chiefs are playing the Texans on Thursday night September
10th (if the NFL gets to play). I'll be at the game that evening, but I'll
make sure everything is setup for arrivals, etc.

Re: KR> KR GATHERING 2020 - and a Chiefs game?

[Rob Schmitt via KRnet]

Ray,

Currently, there are no single game NFL tickets available. All games are
still "TBD" for date and times.  I'll keep looking and post as soon as it
becomes public.

We have a pretty good tailgate group I am in, always fun. That will be open
to any who wish to show up. Kind of like a KR Gathering, but for football. 

Thanks,

Rob

Maybe other guys might also be interested.  Can always  make sure I'm there
for game time.
If I leave at sun up, I'll be there by early afternoon.

KR> KR GATHERING 2020 - and a Chiefs game?

[Rob Schmitt via KRnet]

We are progressing towards the 2020 KR Gathering. A few had asked if there 
might be a Chiefs game that weekend. 

We'll the answer is most likely yes, but on Thursday night September 10th.  

https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article240899886.html


Since the Chiefs won the Superbowl, they get to open the season with the 1st 
official game of the season on Thursday night September 10th. No opponent is 
set, and to my knowledge, no single game tickets are on sale yet. 

Since it is Thursday night, I plan to go to the game myself. I will not 
completely vacate my host duties - everything will be set up at the airport for 
camping/parking, etc.

I'll second this motion, as Rob's EAA Chapter did a great job hosting us 
two years ago.  There's no question that MVN is a perfect place for the 
Gathering, but Lee's Summit is probably second place, judging from the 
Gatherings I've attended over the years.  I know some folks would like 
to just lock the Gathering down to MVN forever, and that's the way it 
was for quite a while until recently.  Previously, the Gathering was 
moved around the country, usually two years at each place, and then 
somewhere different.  A little variety is a good thing, and moving it 
around exposes the KR to new audiences, and gives some folks who don't 
live near Mount Vernon a better chance to make it to a Gathering.


See Rob's message below for more.

KR Enthusiasts;

I am planning to make a pitch at the 2019 KR Gathering to host the 2020
event at Lee's Summit Airport in Missouri (KLXT). I understand a vote will
be required and the location needs to be approved. I also wanted to ensure
the KR Net folks have an opportunity to review this as well regardless of if
they can attend this year's Gathering.

We held the 2017 Gathering at our airport and would like the opportunity to
host it once again in 2020.

Summary is as follows;

Proposal for KR Gathering 2020
Lee's Summit Airport (LXT), Missouri

Event Organizer - Rob Schmitt (KR2S - N1852Z)
Dates: September 10-13, 2020

This event has been presented to both the Airport Manager (John
Ohrazda), and the host EAA Chapter 91.
Both organizations a very supportive and willing to host.
EAA Chapter 91 will support with their facilities for main gathering
space.
Airport will support with equipment, contracts as required, hangers
for aircraft if needed due to adverse weather, and a fuel discount.

Airport Description

Two Runways 18/36 is over 5,000 ft, Runway 11/29 is over 4,000 ft.
No control Tower

The airport is in the ADSB Mandatory Veil (30 nm) for Kansas City.
There are no longer any exceptions for this. All aircraft will need to have
ADSB out to operate in/out of the airport legally.

Camping will be allowed again at the north west corner of the
airport.

EAA Chapter 91 Facilities

Main Hanger with Chapter Presentation Room
Overhead Projector
Kitchen, Refrigerators
Grilling equipment
Tools and equipment for aircraft repair if need
Restrooms, but no showers

EAA Chapter 91 has conducted several major events in the past to include the
2017 KR Gathering. The Chapter conducts monthly Young Eagles events in
conjunction with a Pancake Breakfast during the Summer months.

Other Considerations
Nearest RV Campground with hookups - Lake Jacomo approx. 3 Miles
away
Hotels - Several local hotels available. Best for the individual to
make their own arrangement for competitive pricing.
Lee's Summit/Kansas City Area, Sports, Museums, Shopping,
Entertainment, etc.
Potential fly-outs to surrounding Airports and places of interest.

Let me know if you have any questions. My direct email is robert7...@aol.com

 Randall I was thinking about your offer. That surely beats the 10+ hr drive. I 
live close to KHQZ or I can drive to Hicks early that morning. Let me know.

KR> KR Gathering forum change

[Mark Langford via KRnet]

KRnetHeads,

As I mentioned earlier, something crazy happened at last year's 
Gathering and I volunteered to arrange the forums this year.  That's 
kind of like hiring the fox to watch the hen house, as there have been 
times when I  thought we spent too much time on forums and not enough 
time trying to answer builder questions one-on-one, or maybe even just 
socializing with new builders.  In a conversation with Larry Flesner, he 
made the comment that the least we could do is to concentrate on matters 
concerning KRs, and I agree completely.


So.we're cancelling the Wings "Winter Preparedness" forum that was 
previously scheduled for Friday.  After all, the EAA has at least one 
opportunity per week to watch a "Wings-qualifying" presentation, and 
there are many others to choose from as well. Instead, we may have a 
general Q&A session where folks in the audience are free to ask whatever 
KR related questions they have to a panel of several of us that think we 
know enough to be helpful, and see how that goes.  Of course, anybody's 
free to stop me and ask whatever they want alsoit's not like I have 
somewhere else I'd rather be, and I'm sure most others feel the same way.


For a preliminary schedule of the upcoming KR Gathering,  check the 
"Fly-In Schedule" link at http://www.krgathering.net  .   During the 
Gathering, we can keep an updated list on the white board in the meeting 
room, so folks can stop by and see what's up next or if there are 
changes to times or anything else.  I'm still scheduled to give a Friday 
afternoon forum on First Flights (it's labeled "What to do when the fan 
stops turning" in the schedule), but it will be similar to the one I did 
last year, but emphasizing some essential things to get in order before 
your first flight.  If you've been flying your KR for years, don't feel 
like you have to show upmy feelings won't be hurt if there's only 
one guy there, as long as he gets something helpful out of it.  I'll try 
to keep this thing short.

KR> KR Gathering 2020

[Rob Schmitt via KRnet]

KR Enthusiasts;

I am planning to make a pitch at the 2019 KR Gathering to host the 2020
event at Lee's Summit Airport in Missouri (KLXT). I understand a vote will
be required and the location needs to be approved. I also wanted to ensure
the KR Net folks have an opportunity to review this as well regardless of if
they can attend this year's Gathering.  

We held the 2017 Gathering at our airport and would like the opportunity to
host it once again in 2020. 

Summary is as follows;

Proposal for KR Gathering 2020
Lee's Summit Airport (LXT), Missouri

Event Organizer - Rob Schmitt (KR2S - N1852Z)
Dates: September 10-13, 2020

This event has been presented to both the Airport Manager (John
Ohrazda), and the host EAA Chapter 91.
Both organizations a very supportive and willing to host.
EAA Chapter 91 will support with their facilities for main gathering
space.
Airport will support with equipment, contracts as required, hangers
for aircraft if needed due to adverse weather, and a fuel discount. 

Airport Description

Two Runways 18/36 is over 5,000 ft, Runway 11/29 is over 4,000 ft. 
No control Tower

The airport is in the ADSB Mandatory Veil (30 nm) for Kansas City.
There are no longer any exceptions for this. All aircraft will need to have
ADSB out to operate in/out of the airport legally. 

Camping will be allowed again at the north west corner of the
airport. 

EAA Chapter 91 Facilities

Main Hanger with Chapter Presentation Room
Overhead Projector
Kitchen, Refrigerators
Grilling equipment
Tools and equipment for aircraft repair if need
Restrooms, but no showers

EAA Chapter 91 has conducted several major events in the past to include the
2017 KR Gathering. The Chapter conducts monthly Young Eagles events in
conjunction with a Pancake Breakfast during the Summer months. 

Other Considerations
Nearest RV Campground with hookups - Lake Jacomo approx. 3 Miles
away
Hotels - Several local hotels available. Best for the individual to
make their own arrangement for competitive pricing. 
Lee's Summit/Kansas City Area, Sports, Museums, Shopping,
Entertainment, etc.
Potential fly-outs to surrounding Airports and places of interest.

Let me know if you have any questions. My direct email is robert7...@aol.com


Thanks,

Rob Schmitt

I am sorry, but I will not be able to attend the KR gathering this year due to 
a family commitment.I was really looking forward to seeing you all again, and 
judging the beautiful airplanes that I am sure will be there.
Keep the faith, keep building, and I eill see you in 2020!

offer.  I've never flown in a KR so I need to  hear about flight 
characteristics. The KRnet group has been a great help already . Thanks guys  
looking forward to meeting you.

KR> KR Gathering Forums?

[Mark Langford via KRnet]

KRnetHeads,

The KR Gathering is only 86 days out, so it's almost past time to be 
thinking about the forums.  I volunteered to arrange the forums, but so 
far have been a dismal failure at it.One thing we plan to repeat 
from previous Gatherings is the pilot/builders discussing their 
airplanes, and answering questions from the crowd.  Another good topic 
would be conducting Phase 1 testing.  Anybody have any other good ideas 
for forum topics, or better yet, want to volunteer to do one?  Feel free 
to float ideas on KRnet...

I took a look at a photo of FD93 on https://www.airnav.com/airport/FD93 
and it looks to me like there are some pretty tall trees on both ends of 
the runway.  I too was thinking about dropping in, but said "not for a 
KR" after seeing that photo.  After clearing the trees on landing, 
you'll float so far that a considerable amount of the runway will be 
behind you when you touch down.  I'm not willing to take that chance. 
I'm guessing that's why Jeff Scott said he'd fly down in the Super Cub. 
See enclosed photo of the strip.

KR> KR Gathering NW Florida

[Samuel Spanovich via KRnet]

That strip is pretty close (~130 NM) from my current location, and is very 
close to NAS Whiting Field and NAS Pensacola where the Navy trains their 
student aviators in the T-6B and student NFOs in the T-45C.  I am very familiar 
with the area and would love to come down and visit sometime on a weekend if 
you’re okay with it.  Be warned, it will be my first landing on a grass strip. 

If anybody is new to that area, the airspace is very busy: there is general 
aviation, commercial airliners, and LOTS of Military traffic from the two Navy 
bases as well as some Air Force traffic out of Eglin (F-35s included). With 
that in mind, it is very easy to have a close call with one, so be prepared for 
a lot of very busy air traffic controllers, as well as a lot of student 
aviators with their hands full with an instructor screaming at them in the back 
:D. You also will hear a lot of “Remain Clear of the Class C” from ATC.  Flight 
following is strongly encouraged anytime you are within the A-292.  

Not to take away from my previous comments, but do enjoy the area.  It is 
absolutely beautiful to fly around.  KJKa, Jack Edwards (40-50 NM west) is one 
of my favorite places to fly into, and the Pensacola Museum of Naval Aviation 
is absolutely incredible awesome. 

“Shooter”, “Black Bird”, and “Red Knight” are all call signs for T-6Bs, so if 
you hear one on the radio, be prepared to see one screaming past you at 200-250 
KIAS. 

Also keep an eye out for the Blue Angels practicing!  

Thank you for the invite.

Looks like fascinating airspace to get in and out of your place.  What are the 
procedural requirements to get in and out of there?  Might be a fun trip to do 
in the Cub one of these days.

Gary Sack, I agree that it's a long way. It would be a great adventure and you 
wouldn't have to rush. Maybe break it down to several short hops. We would love 
to see you and you're plane but if you can't make, it's ok. I wasn't able to 
fly to Chino a few years back, I was just finishing up my KR at that time.

I have plenty of pictures of all the planes, including yours. I'll get 
them out there eventually, but it takes time to sort through them, 
shrink and compress them, and then make a web page for them.  For the 
moment, I have other larger fish to fry

I was just taking the opportunity to rip John a bit.  I hope no one took 
me seriously.  211LF was just obvious in it's absence.  I was probably 
the only one that noticed.

Really nice summery of this year's Gathering.  Thank you John Bouyea.  Your web 
page not only captured the planes, but also some of the flavor of this year's 
event.  Roger, Rob, and Robert were doing introductory rides for builders and 
wannabe builders.  I saw Rob and Roger coming and going a lot.  Thanks so much 
for sharing the KR experience with so many as I have no doubt your 
introductions will help others when it comes to their upcoming first flights.  

I had recently reached the conclusion that the KR line had enjoyed a good run, 
but was about done.  It was really good to be proven wrong by seeing so many 
builders that are so close to finishing.  If half of them complete their 
aircraft and fly in next year, it's going to be an event not to be missed.  
This year we had a number of Continental and VW powered planes, as well as a 
Lycoming powered KR, and another soon to be flying with a 2SI two stroke, but 
for the second consecutive year, other than Bill Clapps appearance with his 
Turbo Corvair Saberwing, there were no Corvair powered KRs present. I know a 
number of builders that are closing in on the finish line are building with 
Corvairs, so let's get them up and going to represent the breed.

John, thank you for hosting and supporting the KR Web site.  You are doing a 
fabulous job.

KR> KR Gathering 2018 RoundUp Coming

[John Bouyea via KRnet]

We had a great Gathering in Mt. Vernon. If you weren't there, you were
missed. If you were there, you had a blast too, just like everyone else!

I have several photos I'll share along with many other attendees who already
have shared their photos. I'll start working on that tomorrow. 

Today, I got the new tail wheel on, mounted the new Sterba prop and ran it
up. Just need to mount the cowl and get off the ground after work.

Here's a group shot as a teaser for things to come along with some notes and
an invitation for how you can make the next Gathering even better.

Stay tuned.

KR> KR Gathering hats / shirts

[Flesner via KRnet]

Anyone attending the Gathering and wanting a hat or shirt the order 
cutoff day is Sunday/ August 26, midnight.  That is this coming Sunday.  
I will be placing the last order on Monday morning so the shirts / hats 
can be ordered and finished in time for the Gathering.  As stated in one 
of my "Observations of Life", "It's never too late, until it's too 
late."  Come Monday morning it will be, "Too late".

The Gathering is just days away and final details are being ironed out 
by the "committee".   The awards program is being finalized and includes 
a time for anyone wishing to host next years Gathering to make their 
invitation pitch to the group.  Anyone wishing to host next years 
Gathering should have the groundwork laid for location , local support, 
etc., and be ready to address the group and convince the group, in 5 
minutes or less, why your location is the best of all options.  May the 
best presentation win..

KR> KR Gathering Event Update

[John Bouyea via KRnet]

Welcome to Tom & Stephen, the latest to register for the 2018 KR Gathering.
Just 68 days to the return to Mt. Vernon's airport.



As a reminder, this is a "no-host" event. What we mean by that is the
overall duties are carried by a group of attendees, rather than a single
person organizing the entire event.  If you'd like to see a particular topic
covered or to do a specific activity, make some plans and volunteer to make
it happen. The list of known/ planned activities is found on
http://krgathering.net on the [Fly-In Schedule] link. The people
participating in planning different aspects of the event are found on the
[Fly-In Contacts] page.
Send us a message of what you'd like to take on and we'll get it into the
schedule.

Looking forward to a great 46th anniversary of KR flight!

Larry,
Thanks for letting me know it arrived as mine just got here yesterday! Langford wrote most of the copy and did the initial document layout so he completed a large part of the job. I did the database stroking, final layout, printing and mailing.

To everyone,
I made the promise at Lee's Summit to help promote the Gathering to all KR registered owners current with the FAA. I went back to the end of 2017 and found just under 200 airplanes. Flyers went to these registered owners. Some are in museums and they got a flyer also. Better to over promote than under-notify.
Hopefully, we get a bunch of new attendees and the "old regular" Gathering attendees will get to gawk at some "new to us" airplanes and meet their owners.
Remember, just 109 days until the biggest KR event of the year!

Larry,
Thanks for letting me know it arrived as mine just got here yesterday! Langford 
wrote most of the copy and did the initial document layout so he completed a 
large part of the job. I did the database stroking, final layout, printing and 
mailing.

To everyone,
I made the promise at Lee's Summit to help promote the Gathering to all KR 
registered owners current with the FAA. I went back to the end of 2017 and 
found just under 200 airplanes. Flyers went to these registered owners. Some 
are in museums and they got a flyer also. Better to over promote than 
under-notify.
Hopefully, we get a bunch of new attendees and the "old regular" Gathering 
attendees will get to gawk at some "new to us" airplanes and meet their owners.
Remember, just 109 days until the biggest KR event of the year!

KR> KR Gathering 2017

[Stephen Hubbert via KRnet]

I would like to thank Robert Schmitt and the EAA Chapter 91 for the great time 
in Lee's Summit.
This was my OSH and Biplane Fly-in this year, since I was unable to attend 
either of these.
I really liked having the KR's to look at, haven't got to do that for quite a 
while. I'm partial to the
KR-2 (no "S"!) and would like to see more of them next year. We need some 
KR-1's also!
My wife and I met some new friends and enjoyed the food. 
My wife has a simple solution to the Gathering on the west coast...why not have 
a KR Gathering West?
Most of us east of the Rockies may not make it, but I'm sure there are lots of 
KR's on the west
side of the mountains.
If you weren't there this year, plan to make it next year at Mt. Vernon.

Re: KR> KR Gathering Updates

[Robert7721 via KRnet]

Larry,


Gosh, I didn't know the weather man was able to predict the winds at Lee's 
Summit 3 days in advance like that?  Two days ago the weather looked like 
potential rain and now it looks like beautiful weather all 4 days - except for 
the south winds. Who really knows. 


The runway status has not changed. The FAA has to do a final inspection before 
it can open. The airport says it is on track for Friday morning to open, but no 
bets on this either.  


Sorry, please pray and make your sacrifice to the KR Gods for perfect weather 
for us and a clean FAA inspection.  


Thanks,


Rob

For the new folks who have recently joined KRnet, see

KR> KR Gathering Location

[Daniel Heath via KRnet]

All this talk about the KR Gathering, makes me wish that my third airplane was 
going to be another KR.  This is not so much that it is a great little 
airplane, but that it has a long tradition of family that comes with it.  I 
hope that when I finish this new airplane, that I will make many more trips to 
meet up with the best group of airplane builders and wannabee builders on the 
planet.  When I do get back into the annual Gatherings, I won't be showing off 
my latest updates on a KR, but will be showing off a new engine that would make 
an awesome addition to any KR.

 

I will miss y'all this year, but sure hope to be there next year, so please 
choose a great place.

 

PS: My trip to the McMinnville gathering was the best vacation of my life.  
Thanks to the host who stepped up for that location.

This has been the way KR Gatherings have been chosen for decades, and I don't 
know of anybody that's ever challenged it, except for the year that somebody 
threw out "I propose we have all future Gatherings at MVN" 

a few years ago.  Fortunately, we are "back to normal" now.  If you don't like 
that arrangement, you are welcome to put up a survey on that also, but be 
forewarned that your surveys should consist of a link on where to vote 
(surveymonkey, for example), not a request that several hundred folks vote on 
KRnet.  I predict you will not agree with the results of either survey, however.

This year we had four KRs and maybe 20 people attend the KR Forum at 
OSH.  Attendance to the Forum is so bad that I've considered not doing 
it, but I feel obligated to at least keep KRs on the radar there.  And 
almost all of those who attend the OSH forum are KRnet members who also 
show up at the Gatheringsthere simply for the opportunity to hang 
out with the rest of the KR gang for a little while (they're certainly 
not there because they expect anything new out of me!)  Contrast that 
with the much larger crowds and KRs that we have at the Gathering, and 
you'll see that people vote with their feet.  If you want to do a 
survey, you are welcome to it, but don't be surprised at the outcome.

I stand by that, 100%.

Regardless, the folks who attend the Gathering will continue to vote for 
location of the next year's venue.  At this point, it looks like MVN. 
If anybody else is going to volunteer to host it elsewhere, it would be 
prudent to give the attendees a pitch now, so we can research the 
location ourselves, rather than be caught off guard guessing that it 
will work out.  For that reason, I'm assuming that the MVN default will 
win again next year, and I encourage somebody to consider hosting it 
elsewhere for 2019...

I would suggest you show up at the gathering and make your pitch at the 
Banquet, for either OSH, or your home airport.  That's the official vote and 
the only one that counts.  Steve did so a few years ago and the next Gathering 
was held in Chino.  Just in case you missed it 2 of the last 4 Gatherings were 
on the west coast.  Did you bother to attend either???  

Seems kind of odd that you complain that you can't afford to travel more than 
once a year, but you want everyone else to go to the most expensive aviation 
venue in the country to accommodate your unwillingness to travel.  The KR crowd 
is notoriously cheap and the KR Gathering would be one of the least expensive 
fly-ins you would ever attend. As for the forum content, we have had Dynon and 
numerous other vendors show up to pitch their products.  The forums at the 
Gathering are geared specifically to the KR Builders.  Show up.  Make your 
pitch.  If everyone wanted to move the Gathering to OSH, that would be fine by 
me.  I doubt I would attend, but would be happy for those that do.

Re: KR> KR Gathering at OSH?

[svd via KRnet]

 

"As for moving the Gathering all over the country, you are a bit late to that 
discussion.  We moved it to Chino,CA in 2014, then to McMinnville, OR in 2015.  
That pretty much excluded the east coast folks and many of the midwesterners 
for 2 years."

 
Yes, I agree that any gathering venue faces an inherent problem - either it is 
moved around to make it available to folks who won’t or can’t travel 1500 
miles, or it is in a “central” location so that one coast or the other only has 
to travel 1500 miles.



If we are set on a “central” gathering location, then it seems the decision is 
between a quiet, KR only, friendly space, or AirVenture - a loud crowded 
distracting event where hotels are very expensive and fun/instructional flight 
is restricted.

 
Seems like a clear choice, but:

1) OSH is a massive event, which is exactly why I suggest it. AirVenture is a 
loud crowded and distracting “zoo”. But even at the AirVenture zoo, we can have 
a quiet side location where we can set up large meeting/shade tents, food prep, 
and hands on KR workshops.  Camping facilities are pretty good (showers, power, 
bathrooms). And external aviation resources can’t be beat anywhere in the 
world.  If we want Garmin, Dynon, Revmaster, Hummel, Jabaru, ICOM, etc to give 
us personalized KR focused presentations – OSH is the place to do it.

2) The hotel situation can’t be fixed at OSH – they are hard to book and bloody 
expensive.  So if hotels are a deal breaker, then I agree OSH is not the place 
to have the gathering.  But for me, I’d much rather camp. 

3) Hangers – also not going to happen at OSH, so again, if that’s a deal 
breaker its out.

4) I’d much rather go to the KR Gathering than look at a few pictures of it on 
a computer – and I think the KR Gathering would benefit from having more of our 
members attend. How many more of our members would be able to attend if we did 
it OSH?  I think a lot.  Perhaps not?  We will only know if we ask, survey, 
try.  At best, I can only budget only one cross country fly-in a year until I 
retire in 10 or 15 years.  I think this is a situation many of us are in.  How 
many of our members are in a similar situation?

 
  
RE: 

“I'd say the average number of new "KR tire-kickers" that show up is probably 
three, so I'm not convinced there's a ground-swell of potential KR builders 
there.” -  

 
My major concern is a Gathering venue that allows more of our members to attend 
(which is what I think AirVenture affords).  Secondary concerns include:

   Improving technical content, variety and opportunity of the Gathering.

   Improving public exposure.  We don’t need a ground swell, but quality 
exposure and interactions can only help to improve KR aircraft and hopefully 
increase our safety. It could also only help to improve the health KR suppliers 

   Improving AirVenture.  Experimental / homebuilt aviation should be the hart 
of AirVenture and bringing back type clubs to improve their airplanes and their 
experience of their airplanes just what AirVenture needs.  I think it is also 
what we need.


I really think we should do the Gatherings at AirVenture, but if thats not in 
the cards I’d be delighted to host a Gathering at KEDU or KDWA - both near 
Sacramento CA.  Both are hotter than hell during the summer, but camping would 
be available. I’d be happy to work with others to host at other central CA 
airports that may be more a conducive/pleasant venue.  We could set up 
shade/forum tents - and I think we could get Steve from nVAero here if the 
trolls on this list haven’t quashed that.  



 
RE:

 
“If you've never attended a KR Gathering, I'd say that you … are not qualified 
to criticize the current arrangement”

 

or 

 
“I have attended both regularly for several years with my KR, so I think I am 
qualified to comment.”

 
or 

 

“Talking it out on KRnet is a good way to get a consensus, but the vote that 
counts is at the (Gathering) Banquet.”

 
I’m just raising an issue that I think is worth considering and may strengthen 
our community and improve our airplanes.  I’m hoping you didn’t really mean to 
be that exclusionary.  If you believe that the only members who’s concerns are 
valid or count are the ones that attend the Gathering, then ok.  I didn’t 
realize.

KR> KR Gathering at OSH?

[Oscar Zuniga via KRnet]

To go along with what Jeff wrote, the annual Pietenpol and Hatz gathering is 
held at the Brodhead, WI airport the weekend before OSH.  Brodhead is 91 NM 
from OSH, so it's within range for Piets who want to make the trek to OSH but 
far enough away to avoid the general hubbub.  Needless to say, with turf 
runways the Brodhead event is MUCH more laid back and enjoyable than the 
beehive at OSH.


Disclaimer though: I have never been to a KR Gathering, to OSH, or to Brodhead 
so my information and opinions are all based on PIREPs from those who have.

Maybe I'm not too bright, but isn't Whitman (sp) field (OSH) open all year
round? If EAA is open to the idea, why not see if they will "host" a KR
gathering at some other time than the circus (AirVenture). There is plenty
of real estate/camping and amenities, 'town' is not far away and the museum
is awesome. JMHO.

Re: KR> KR Gathering at OSH?

[Jeff Scott via KRnet]

Some other groups host a fly-in near Oshkosh as an alternative to Oshkosh, but 
also close enough that the members can hop over to Oshkosh for a day or two if 
they choose.  For example, the SuperCub crowd does a great Fly In over an New 
Holstein, WI.  They hold a STOL contest, Fly Young Eagles, do several Fly Outs, 
and hold a pig roast.  It goes on all week.  That way those like me that would 
just as soon avoid the mass of humanity can, and those that want to go join the 
masses can do so.  But it's also important to keep in mind that these guys have 
numerous fly-ins all over the country every year, so they get together as a 
group a lot. 
 
From my personal perspective, if the KR Gathering moved to Oshkosh, I would 
simply be done with the gatherings.  You would find me over at New Holstein 
with the SuperCub bunch.  I suspect I am far from the only one that would skip 
OSH. I simply do not like being part of the masses of humanity and I could care 
less about watching military and aerobatic air shows.  If I was going to fly 
into OSH, I would likely fly the Supercub so I can haul all my camping gear.  
The KR Gathering is all about KRs.  In my opinion, it would be disastrous to 
dilute the KR folks into the masses at Oshkosh.  
 
As for moving the Gathering all over the country, you are a bit late to that 
discussion.  We moved it to Chino,CA in 2014, then to McMinnville, OR in 2015.  
That pretty much excluded the east coast folks and many of the midwesterners 
for 2 years.  There were only a couple of us that flew to both.  In the time I 
have been attending the Gatherings, it has been hosted in AR, CA, OK, IL, KY, 
OR, and this year will be in MO.  I would call that spreading it around.  
During that time, we found that there is no place that offers us the quality of 
venue at a central location like what Larry Flesner found for us by hosting in 
Mt Vernon, IL.  It is simply a perfect venue with a large open airport, 
multiple runways, lots of ramp space, available hangar space, available meeting 
rooms, restaurant on the field to cater, camping and showers on the airport, 
etc, etc, etc.  It simply doesn't get any better than that, and they make it 
clear that whether Larry hosts or not, Mt Vernon always wants us back.  That's 
the reason why we have agreed to the central location with a fabulous venue and 
incredible hospitality on an every other year basis.  It wasn't an accident.  
We love that place just like the SuperCub guys love New Holstein.

If your interest is in OSH, I would suggest you host a get together on Monday 
of the convention as there are a few KRs there and some of the KR guys, namely 
Mark with Larry's help, host the KR forum.  You will find some of the KR 
faithful at the forum.
