Agree with this discussion. ?I own a plane and am working on my KR2S. ?Yes,
work time has suffered because of general life, flying and working on car
projects, but that's OK. ?My eventual goal is to own two planes - a fast cross
country cruiser and a low and slow open cockpit biplane. ?To work towards that
I just bought a Fisher Celebrity and am working on repairing it. ?Need an
engine if anyone has an affordable ?C-75, C-85 or 0200. ?Please let me know.
?Will get rid of the Sundowner and buckle down on the KR. ?Two would be just
right.?And finances are limited or I would have a Lanceair and a Stearman.

I have kept 2 planes, and sometimes 3 for most of the last 30 years.? I love
having a selection of dissimilar planes to fly, but the upkeep for multiple
planes is a lot of work, especially with two custom Experimentals that I am
always trying to improve.? When I wanted to get started building my SuperCub
clone, my wife insisted that one of the two current planes had to go.? In her
words, "Last time you owned 3 planes you spent all your time fixing and very
little time flying."? I really couldn't argue with her logic as she was right.?
But given the resources, once I retire, I'd still add a third plane to my
stable. :o)?
