Netters Is it me or do you think that Mark L and changed his tune. The last 2 years of Mark's talks at Oshkosh have changed! Now that he is flying he wants to talk about flying the KR2S, not that it is a bad thing, rather that talking about building. Yes I would love to fly my plane anywhere for the gathering. With the options that were persented to us last year MVN was the best choice. I liked staying at the Hotel but this year I will be camping, and flying my plane in. Yea a potty and a shower at hand would be nice, but I want to hang with the airport and the campers. Next year, maybe a BETTER option will persent itself, if not I have no problem going to MVN again, they are nice and the airport is a great location. The bottom line is where do the KR netters want to be, and then make the best of it. By the way this started about Mark L. He is a GREAT guy and loves the KR2, but he is flying and not building anymore,,, get it off the bench and in the air.......
