Earlier today I was wondering what it would take for the probably large group of KR owners who don't have "show quality" planes to show up at the Gatherings. My only thought was to promise that I won't be laughing at ANY KR that flies in, because you're already way ahead of me, have demonstrated a rare determination to actually finish one of these things, and are probably a motherlode of KR building and piloting experience. So please, bring it on, and bring along any other KRs that you find along the way. We'll see who wins "ugliest" when I fly mine in next year with no paint on it yet...

Well, I didn't actually build it. I bought it. But I did contribute to its ugliness afterwards. N5834 was certificated in 1995. I am at least the 6th owner after the builder, make that final builder. This plane traveled all over Florida, to Texas and had 3 owners in Ohio. (I actually picked it up in Michigan.) Not one of them admits to ever flying it. BTW, I am determined to finish my White Lightning, but I realized last November that it was going to take a lot longer than I thought. So I purchased this completed, certificated KR-2 and worked on it for 6 months prior to flying it. The question remains, "Will there be an ugly award?"

Nothing that flies is considered ugly in my book. Even a buzzard is beautiful in the air. Your KR would not be the only one to go home without a trophy. Only one KR wins the "best KR" award and I'm expecting mine to be a "looser" too so you can park next to me. See you at the Gathering. Larry Flesner

I am going to weigh in with Mark. I have seen KR's for over 20 years now and I have only seen one that I was embarrassed for the group to have on a ramp. I personally believe that every person that has a flying KR is a WINNER! I have learned something from every person that is flying and building a KR. I'll see you at the Gathering with your Winning KR.

award for the ugliest KR? I'll probably also qualify for that award. But, many years ago I said I have never received an ugly call from a KR builder or flyer. Only the onlookers and want a bee's.

Richard & Vicki Alps will be at Red Oak. Arriving early Thursday by camper. Confess we haven't made reservations for that, and don't know the phone or location of camp grounds. We could use a little help in that area. Also, would like to rent a car for the duration so we will have some way to get from the camp grounds to the airport?? Plan to be there for the whole thing. I have twenty year old plans for a KR-2, and want to build a KR-2S. I have two Corvair engines, not rebuilt yet, but have William Wynne's instruction book. Also have a stack of spruce, a pile of foam, and three boxes of plywood... you know, the expensive kind that is aircraft grade and ultra thin, like 5/32" or something like that. Other than that, we are set. Look for an older couple. I am 64 and wife is 9 younger. Look forward to meeting everyone. Richard Alps
