Larry, The date change really scrambles my plans. September 9 & 10 were perfect. I was planning on flying my KR-2 to MVN this year. Now it's like being weathered-out eight months in advance. Does not seem to likely now with the conflicts in my schedule. What are the possibilities of changin

I would really like to have any date except the 16th & 17th. Joanne has a Pow-Wow in Mankato, MN on that date. She has gone to the Pow-Wow every year for the past 30 years except last year when she came to the gathering with me when the dates conflicted. If need be then 16th & 17 are OK as she w

Hello Guys and Glenda, I can't find the aileron counter weight bracket drawings anywhere. It looks pretty simple. Can someone tell me what it is made out of and a size? Thanks, Victor, headed to the airport to work on the KR... with my iphone to check my email.

KR> Aileron Counter Wt Bracket ?

2011-01-27 Thread Mark Jones
