I flew helicopters for the Army. ? When I retired I falsely believed that it would be ok if I didn't fly every day and I was very wrong. ?I didn't have a lot of fixed wing time, some F16's, Cub's, Sesna's etc but I knew I needed an airplane. As a school ?teacher with teanagers at home I didn't have a lot to spend on an aircraft but I wanted something ?nice like a KR2 so I started building but it wasn't going fast enough. A flying Minimax came up for sale at a great price and I couldn't pass it up.? So for those who feel that craving to put space between the ground and your feet, building is good and flying and building is also good! The Teenie 2 looks great!

I just need something to knock around new england and meet up with my friends who always seem to be flying somewhere... realistically, the KR will take years to complete.? I agree with the other post, and to be careful with time budget or one will block the other. I like the teenie 2... > Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:29:18 -0500 > To: krnet at list.krnet.org > Subject: Re: KR> KR vs similar... > From: krnet at list.krnet.org > CC: bjoenunley at gmail.com > > >???? > I purchased a flying Minimax for my temporary ride and I am glad that I did > because I get to fly three to four times a week.
