You should also see if Mode C is required. There may be exceptions
that require that you notify ATC some time before flying in the airspace
so determine if these affect your hangar location (airport).

Depending upon your speeds you might be able to get to the Mt Rushmore
and/or Devil's Tower area. Further south is Pikes Peak. Cheap fuel and
on field BBQ at Miami Co KS (K81).

One thing to look at the "Route" function with radar loops.
It includes winds aloft.

I made a trip this past weekend to the KR Gathering in Mount Vernon
IL. Pre-flight planning showed a great fuel stop at Miami Co airport in
Paola KS. 100LL was $3.10 a gallon versus the $4.28 at my
airport. Scrolling down the Airnav link also showed a BBQ restaurant on
the field.
Mark, those are great pictures. I was amazed to see the pallet
platform to load the plane. Very ingenious. Do keep us informed
on the cause of your problem. It may help prevent it happening
to someone else.

I have a carbureted O-360 with mechanical fuel pump and in-line
electric fuel pump. Unless I have missed it there is no fuel return line
anywhere in the system.
Ron Lee
about 10 pounds more than the PC-680 but it has "more power."

. Perhaps it is all KR-netters or
all Gathering attendees for the last 10 years or so.
Regardless, weather will always be a factor. I am a VFR pilot and I stick
to my limitations. You won't find me trying to penetrate a thunderstorm.
Ron Lee
This forecast is not something that I would bet on but if
close it is promising for Mount Vernon. That does not
guarantee the path between various departure points and MVN.

Has anyone flown both to evaluate control responsiveness
similarities/differences?

has never flown a KR and is about to is it
common for anyone to get that newbie proficient in KR flight to
include take-offs and landings?

Did not see this on the webpage. Does anyone know the approximate
cost for a taxi from the airport (MVN) to the Holiday Inn?

That is my normal region flying
east
of the Rockies with 14,500 and higher going west. Once I get to altitude I
don't normally give it up until close to the destination airport. My flight to
Red Oak two years ago was at 17,500'

And per another post, I hope that you have done the structural
analysis to verify that your BRS installation will not destroy the
aircraft upon activation.
If I were really concerned about my safety, I would wear my chest mount

Many RVs use Odyssey batteries:

>Ron, I think a BRS is not an option, it must be a requirement.
That is fine for a personal decision but not a mandate. My opinion
is that a BRS is a crutch and masks poor piloting skills or decisions.
Reference: My analysis of several Cirrus BRS deployments.
Ron Lee
preflight. That does not apply to
me since I know the status of my control system.
The argument that everyone makes bad decisions is fundamentally flawed
and cannot support a universal mandate for BRS systems. I don't make
those kind of decisions, which is why I am a safer pilot than many. FACT!

prepping the paint.
I got the plane back today then the control surfaces were painted today.
And to think that I considered multiple cans of Krylon paint.

Normally it seems that around this time there is jockeying to
determine where next years gathering will be. It is always
interesting to see the comments yet I have seen nothing yet.
Is this a deliberate attempt to deprive me of the pleasure of
reading those posts?

>I would highly recommend flying with added weight in increments first.
I strongly agree with this. To go from never a passenger to adding 205
pounds is very unwise.

It is inside one month and no talk about it.
I am still trying to make it to Red Oak before September just because
it looks like a nice airport.
Ron Lee
can, install a flasher
unit if you think it helps. The number of "just a few seconds earlier
and" events has been way too many. Complacency anywhere
near my airport in not an option.
I bet Red Oak will be a pleasant change.
