KR>Passion, I think we all can relate to this.
The power of passion When your spirit is battered and your energy is depleted, and you feel like you can't go on, you can go on. In fact you can surpass all you've ever done before and reach a new level of accomplishment. It is amazing what you can do when you know you must. It is incredible what you can accomplish when it means everything to you. But how could you ever be that passionate, and so totally committed that you would endure any difficulty in order to reach ever higher? That's a good question, and one that would be very much worth your time, your thought, your effort to answer. Somewhere in you is something you sincerely care about enough that you would transcend any obstacle in order to give it life. Somewhere in you is a burning passion ready to be ignited. You'll find clues in the things that make you happy, sad, angry, frustrated, joyful, serene, in the things that make you feel most alive. Pay heed to those stirrings, and listen to what they have to say. The power of passion is somewhere in your life. Let yourself know it and live it.

Dear Norm, I know that your question was not aimed at me, but since it was presented to the whole KR Net, I choose to take this opportunity to publicly supply my answer: Everything, Norm, everything! I consider myself relatively poor, and cannot afford hanger rent, much less an airplane whatsoever. Just the same, at my ripe young age of 64 years, I guarantee you and the rest of the netters that I will build and fly my very own KR-2S. With no space, no money, and while I am working 14 hours a day, no time to do this thing, it seems absolutely impossible. Therefore, my very dear Norm, the little paragraph about passion, and being able to stop our busy lives and actually look at what is inside of us to see what moves and motivates us; to examine what things wear us down and crush us, is important to me. Why do I own a set of KR plans that are 25 years old, and why have I allowed family needs to supercede my personal wants? Why do I still yearn for this tiny, frail, wingy thing? Why does the KR kindle this glow inside of me? I don't know guys. Maybe the work involved in building (even just buying the pieces) is a no sweat thing for most of you. Perhaps for most of you, the prospect of spending $20,000 or much more, is of no consequence. For me it an insurmountable task. I am bound to start at the bottom and spend $50 at a time til it is done. Hell, if you have the money, just buy a Mooney and be done with it. At least that way you can carry four people, and not worry about time or any of the rest. Sometimes I think that I have no business sharing the same room with you other people because I have no money. I at least have a Private License. I am a SEL guy (single engine land) and I have about 450 hours logged. I am Cessna trained, with 152, 172, 182, 206/207 time, and a couple of hours in the Centurian (210). I went to school with a lawyer who owns a 210, but mostly I could NEVER afford to rent one. I like flying the Cessna Cardinal (177) and I actually flew the Skymaster (forgot the number) with the Illinois Air National Guard. At the present moment I have not flown for over 10 years, and I have the honor of having had a heart attack last year. Now, not only do I get to build the plane, but I have to fight the FAA to get my medical back. Now, I ask you (all): "Do I stand a chance for success here?" You probably think I am crazy to start this journey, but if I do not, then what is the reason for living? I'll drop back to the original question which was: "What does this have to do with KR's?" I hope at this point it is completely unnecessary for me to say a word. I love you all. I hope to see you at The Gathering 2004. Richard G.

Passion is what drives most of us to complete our projects. The internal fuel that ignites our activities. I've been working on my KR foe over 10 years and I will finish it with passion and determination. For me it KR related in a big way. KRRon
KR>Passion, I think we all can relate to this.
Richard, You are not alone, Coming up with $20,000 would be almost impossible for me too. Passion is the only reason a lot of airplanes ever get completed. You are a big step ahead of lots of us by just holding a pilots license. I have managed to get my hands on a nearly completed KR2,I may be lucky in one respect. If I don't have to sell it my hangar rent is only 40.00 a month when I do get it to the airport. Good luck, Rick Wilson. --- RICHARD G ALPS wrote: > Dear Norm, > I know that your question was not aimed at me, but > since it was presented to the whole KR Net, I choose > to take this opportunity to publicly supply my > answer: > > >I > > . > > > I love you all.
