KR> Returned to flight status again.

KR2 N1140V TOOK OFF AT EXACTLY 8AM SUNDAY MORNING. SHE FLIES GREAT. VERY 
RESPONSIVE, SMOOTH, NO FLUTTERS OR VIBRATIONS. FLEW FOR 12 MINUTES. 130 MPH AT 
3/4 THROTTLE.  I THOUGHT THE OIL TEMP OF 260 WAS HIGH SO I CAME BACK FOR 
LANDING.   I BOUNCED THE LANDING BUT FELT GOOD ANYWAY. OIL TEMPS HAD COME DOWN 
ONCE I QUIT CLIMBING. THE EXHAUST PIPE HAD BROKE ON A BAD WELD  AND BURNED A 
HOLE IN THE COWL. GOOD THING I DIDN'T FLY LONG.  I WILL FIX IT OR PUT A NEW ONE 
ON AND TAKE HER UP AGAIN.

  Dispite my FBO telling me not to fly her and sell her, she felt very stable.  
He does not like small homebuilts and is not giving me too much encouragement.  
I would just like to hear from the group with some words of wisdom and 
motivation.  She didn't scare me any and I am anxious to get her back in the 
air but he is giving me second thoughts.
  Thanks,
  Mitch

Hi Mitch,

The KR2 is a fantastic aircraft, I was about to sell mine to buy a self
launch glider but changed my mind this morning.  My KR2 is too much fun to
sell (the glider will have to wait).

Has your FBO got any time in KR2's?  Hundreds of us cannot be wrong.  They
are not for everyone, but you sound like you can handle it and enjoyed it,
keep it 

My 2 cents worth :-)

Mitch,
You want encouragement-- How about flying the KR is just about orgasmic,
It's the most fun that you can have with your clothes on- On second
thought if you want to save 10# you could do it without your clothes.

Mitch,

Use your own comfort level as a guide in making your decision, not the
comfort level or advise of others.  Don't push yourself beyond your
skill level and take it one step at a time.  If after a reasonable amount
of hours you decide it's not the plane for you then put out the for sale
sign.  If I had made a decision in the first couple hours of flying my
KR someone else might be having the fun I had this evening, formation
high speed passes with the collegiate aerobatic team, 200 mph
passes with a pull-up to pattern altitude and a tight circle to land.
YEE HAA

240 hours and still grinnin'

I put over 600 hrs on my last KR and I regret ever
selling.
