NetHeads, Well it's been a week of highs and lows. I've been working every morning trying to get my plane ready to fly to OSH, just doing little stuff to make it a little less embarassing when I park it right next to the archway (if the auto engine planes are parked in the usual place). So Monday afternoon I got to work and there were two messages...one from Greg Laslo and another from David (Sport Aviation editor). David wants to arrange an air to air photo shoot, and Greg wants to arrange an interview about my plane!
Now you guys have seen my plane....it's hideous...so what can I say? I told them I was pretty sure they wouldn't put a picture of a plane that was still in primer in SA, and they agreed. The best I could come up with was for them to do an article on the "next generation KR", especially since there will be several of us flying in to OSH this year. You know what I mean...new airfoil, Corvair or Jabiru or O-200, widened KR2S, etc., maybe a picture of several of us parked at OSH and some flying photos of the nice ones. They might have gone for that, but I'm not sure. I told them Bill Clapp's plane was probably the one to photograph if they just had to pick one, so I gave them his number and I think he's probably going to get the call. I see my 15 minutes of fame flittin' away into the sunset. If only they'd waited ten more years for me to finish it and get a coat of paint on it! But you guys flying KRs into OSH this year need to spend a little time wiping the oil off the bottom. Meantime, I'm trying to make my "new" fiberglass spinner look decent and getting ready for a coat of primer on the cowling in the morning, and looking forward to heading that way...
