Why am I building a KR? To rove I can do it? No. I love sanding? NO. because it's a highly responsive and unusually affordable plane to build and maintain? Yes. Because I love to flying at any and all opportunities that I can? YOU BET YOUR BUTT.

I thought the whole idea was to get them out into the KR public so that they would be seen and the idea grow. Can you not post them on a web page and allow downloads like we can do with the new wing? Seems only fair since the raffle was supposed to be for someone to pioneer their use and you have stated you are not going to use them now.

But, I think Mr. Moore should be contacted before someone considers posting his plans for everyone to see. How 'bout it Ray and Mr. Moore?

Remember it is 1992 and Oshkosh wasn't as big. In my discussions with the "fly boss", if we were to fly a formation all they required is the group was to get together a number of times previously and practice the formation before Oshkosh and be able to demonstrate that fact. After talking to the ones I thought would participate, (Steve Alderman, Dan Diehl, Marti, Ken Cottle and myself) it was agreed that since we didn't live close this couldn't happen so I gave that idea up. What was agreed to was a time when just the KR's would fly and it was to be in the early afternoon prior to the airshow with an announcer reading off the information about the KR. When we arrived it wasn't scheduled. Bottom line is there was lots going on ahead of time that wasn't nor is it worth the time to relate again. The formation part wasn't an issue because I took it out of play before the event and before we agreed on what was to happen. 1992 was along time ago and it really is time to move on. Problem with KR attendance is that there isn't a KR booth or any other push for the KR except for what some of us will take out our time to do. Thank you Mark.

I know that a lot of the other RV and other formations are by experienced teams. Now don't slam me. I have no idea if that was a consideration at all and I certainly believe that the KR deserves its fair time in the spotlight.

I don't know, there is truth that they promised me certain things then didn't schedule it and had to rush around to deliver something that wasn't what we were promised. Do we carry a grudge? I've put it behind me and I think other issues are more prominent today for KR people as outlined above. Will I go back? If I'm still flying in 2007, you bet I'll be there and try to organize the 35th anniversary. See you at the Gathering.

Click on this link to see a nice folding wing set-up on a sailplane I photographed at Oshkosh a couple of years ago: http://photos.yahoo.com/alamokr2 There will be three albums, go to 'Aviation' and look at the first photo. It looks like something very similar would work on the KR. You can copy the picture. Click on the photo to make it bigger.
