Had some wind damage but only a couple of inches of water in the house. Other people did far worse. At least I still have a job, many people don't even have that. My project wasn't hurt even though the warehouse it was in suffered some damage. So my losses were small. The big problem will be the loss of employment. many businesses have left and will probably not come back. New Orleans will eventually be a smaller, poorer town. I feel very certain that we will be back together in record time. I am in Houston now but will be back in New Olreans on Monday. When I can get online I'll give an update as to how we are all doing.

The beauty of it is this: it tends to "migrate" toward unfinished area of the metal. A thin coat, in my opinion, is all you need.

What a great group of people!!!!!. You really missed some great camaraderie if you were not there. The very first arrival to the Gathering was a very nice fellow from Czechoslovakia. Pavilio (spelling ?) was his name but we nicknamed him Czech Dude and he loved it. Czech Dude was a great swimmer too as he made good use of the lake by the camp ground. We had planes flown in from all over the country. Many showed up on Thursday. Friday brought in a few more as well as Saturday. Orma Robbins would have won the most determined to fly to the Gathering as he had engine problems and finally arrived Saturday about two hours before the Gathering Banquet. Again the Gathering was well orchestrated and we have Larry Flesner to thank for that. Here is a big YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa to you Larry. Unfortunately a few KR Pilots were not able to stay for the whole weekend and had to depart early. We really missed those guys. The evenings brought camp fires and lots of great stories and probably even some tall tales. Especially when we began talking about whose KR was the fastest. There were all types of KR's there. Some were still under construction but flying. Some needed to be rebuilt but were still were flying. Some were show quality planes. But all the planes were beautiful!!!!!. It was a great pleasure to fly my plane to the Gathering as that kinda of put the icing on my building process. Getting to the Gathering in your own KR can only be compared to an accomplishment such as reaching the summit of Mt Everest. Prime Rib was served at the Banquet Saturday night along with chicken. What a meal that was. I have got to quit eating so good cause Langford's plane can easily out run mine. We went up for a photo shoot as Langford led the way, behind him was Brian Kraut in his Midget Mustang the me. I was about 1/4 mile behind Brian and he did a barrel roll right in front of me. Too Cool!!!! On another flight, I chased Jim Faughn all over the sky and we executed many low passes and missed approaches which were really high speed passes. What a blast as I played follow the leader behind Jim. On a couple of passes he banked about 80° and made abrupt pull ups. I followed but not as severe. The skies brought us extreme high heat and very hazy conditions. Visibility was very low. Most of the time it was marginal VFR at the best. This raised the question should we do the Gathering late Sept or early October for cooler temps and hopefully better skies. This will be discussed later. And as a final note, it was voted on at the banquet to keep the 2006 Gathering in Mt Vernon. More on that later too. Hope everyone made it home safe.

The one thing that I am personally promoting, beyond continuing to attend KR Gatherings, is the 35th Anniversary of the KR. This will be an Oshkosh EVENT and I will be flying there in 2007. I believe we should be able to get at least 35 KR's at the 35th Anniversary of the KR. This has to be a passion and commitment of everyone and it has now become my slogan. Plan on attending the KR Gathering next year and then Oshkosh in 2007. By the way. I don't really have a bank indicator in my KR but I do think I could look straight down and my wing was at a right angle to the ground. I still say these were 30 degree banks but I should probably get some kind of bank indicator because I have a problem judging these when pulling a couple of G's with 50 feet of altitude. I don't think I will be doing this at my home controlled airport in 3 weeks once I received the feedback that I may have been a little over the 60 degree aerobatic regulation.

Man, what a great read!! Thanks for the descriptions of the good time. I have aquired a Corvair engine for my project....because the motor is my favorite part. I shall buy the manual from William Wynne and utilize his knowledge. I feel almost guilty about it because as an engine builder, I know Mr. Wynne has learned much from experience, some of it bad. To skip all the bad because he has been good enough to assemble a manual makes me feel.....great!! I thank him for that. Next, I shall start on aquiring all the necessary materials for the job. I'm a scrounger, and my goal is to build a KR2S with A) large safety margins B)low cost C) good looks D)As many low cost recycled parts as I can find. I may call it the Boneyard Flier, or better yet, the Garage Sale Gazelle. Dunno yet...

This raised the question should we do the Gathering late Sept or early October for cooler temps and hopefully better skies. This will be discussed later. And as a final note, it was voted on at the banquet to keep the 2006 Gathering in Mt Vernon. More on that later too. Hope everyone made it home safe.

What a great group of people!!!!!. You really missed some great camaraderie if you were not there. The very first arrival to the Gathering was a very nice fellow from Czechoslovakia. Pavilio (spelling ?) was his name but we nicknamed him Czech Dude and he loved it. Czech Dude was a great swimmer too as he made good use of the lake by the camp ground. We had planes flown in from all over the country. Many showed up on Thursday. Friday brought in a few more as well as Saturday. Orma Robbins would have won the most determined to fly to the Gathering as he had engine problems and finally arrived Saturday about two hours before the Gathering Banquet. Again the Gathering was well orchestrated and we have Larry Flesner to thank for that. Here is a big YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa to you Larry. Unfortunately a few KR Pilots were not able to stay for the whole weekend and had to depart early. We really missed those guys. The evenings brought camp fires and lots of great stories and probably even some tall tales. Especially when we began talking about whose KR was the fastest. There were all types of KR's there. Some were still under construction but flying. Some needed to be rebuilt but were still were flying. Some were show quality planes. But all the planes were beautiful!!!!!. It was a great pleasure to fly my plane to the Gathering as that kinda of put the icing on my building process. Getting to the Gathering in your own KR can only be compared to an accomplishment such as reaching the summit of Mt Everest. Prime Rib was served at the Banquet Saturday night along with chicken. What a meal that was. I have got to quit eating so good cause Langford's plane can easily out run mine. We went up for a photo shoot as Langford led the way, behind him was Brian Kraut in his Midget Mustang the me. I was about 1/4 mile behind Brian and he did a barrel roll right in front of me. Too Cool!!!! On another flight, I chased Jim Faughn all over the sky and we executed many low passes and missed approaches which were really high speed passes. What a blast as I played follow the leader behind Jim. On a couple of passes he banked about 80° and made abrupt pull ups. I followed but not as severe. The skies brought us extreme high heat and very hazy conditions. Visibility was very low. Most of the time it was marginal VFR at the best. This raised the question should we do the Gathering late Sept or early October for cooler temps and hopefully better skies. This will be discussed later. And as a final note, it was voted on at the banquet to keep the 2006 Gathering in Mt Vernon. More on that later too. Hope everyone made it home safe.

I also hope that everyone who drank from the kegs made a donation to him to help him with his expenses. If you did not, you owe it to Bob to get his address and sent him a little donation. Bob, here is a big YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA for the good times at the camp ground.
