Hello all! I decided to introduce myself since I am new to the group and
the KR family. My name is Alex Pearson and I live in San Antonio, TX. Took
my private written in 1976 and became a certified pilot at 30 (1989). I
have a bit over 500 hours however I have not flown since 2006. Starting
Well said Jeff. ?I am very impressed of your aerodynamic improvements that you
have made. I have taken many notes at the last two gatherings and will
incorporate them into my plane. especially your elevator gap seals.?

Hello kr friends,
I am glad to tell you we sprayed the Wings. It was al lot of sanding (o I hate
that) but the result is very nice. Soon I will update my site so you can see
the results. I think the are a bit heavy but I am not sure, I need to balance
the ailerons so I need some help.

The main gear struts are off the airplane. This after-the-fact
de-installation without tearing the stub wing apart is akin to extracting
two of your own teeth without benefit of Novocain or booze. For these
tail-dragger struts Larry Flesner had suggested filling in the old holes
with flox

Here's a simple trick for match drilling...lay a sheet of mylar (or other
stable plastic) on the fitting...transfer the holes to the mylar...then
transfer back to the new parts. Works better than drilling through the old
part to the new in the case of holes that aren't exactly perpendicular.

Jeff and Joe,
I was curious. When you two were flying together. Who had to pull back on the
throttle so you wouldn't pull away. Was it that O-200 or that mighty Corvair?

Jack and Rob both deserve Brass Ball awards for tackling the mountains with
their VW powered KRs. It's easy for Joe and I to go high and fast, but those
guys have long rough flights at lower altitudes, slower speeds, and rough air.
However, they also demonstrated just how capable a VW powered

I'll second that, Jeff, as tough as you all are Collin was beyond amazing
although he had a $15,000.00 engine.

The last gathering KR just departed Chino. Jack Daugherty is headed back to
Oklahoma after a little head work on his engine.
Interestingly, jacks KR has an 1834cc VW. That's quite a trek with a smaller
engine.
