There's a reason it's done already. Mark called me from the airport, still breathless, to tell me I needed to get his name moved from "under construction" to "flying KRs". I had it done before I hung up the phone. If you were really on the ball you'd have known he made his first flight before he announced it! I'll add my "CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!" to the long list. Job well done! Now start feeding us information like Larry's been doing, particularly with respect to performance of the new airfoil and the Corvair engine. Today I filled out the paperwork for the KR forum at OSH, and ammended my "bio" to say "Mark Langford has built AND FLOWN a KR2S...", so I'm on the hook to have it done by then for sure. I'm shooting for Monday (first day) morning, or Tuesday at the latest for the forum. And I'll fly it to the Gathering if I have to leave a week early, so bring that Killians Red, Steve. I have to confess that flying this thing isn't my number one priority right now, just like it obviously hasn't been for the last ten years. There are other things in life that have to get done, but finishing up the KR happens, slowly but surely. I'm finding that any excuse to learn all about something new during the building process is justification enough to take a minor detour. I'll add something about the KRs that have flown so far to the bottom of the airfoil page. I'm pretty sure it's just the four that Mark J mentioned, but there will be many more shortly...
