KR Netheads, I've already redone my regisration per the new requirement. It was pretty simple, cost was $5. Got my new registration back in the mail within a couple of weeks. I do suspect there are lots of airplanes in the database that do not exist anymore. When I was making calls for the 25th KR Gathering a few years back, we used the FAA database to try and locate all flying KRs. Of the 15 I tried to call, maybe 25% were actually still real airplanes, the rest were damaged, destroyed, or I just could not locate the owner because it was wrong in the FAA database.
Just finished my annual inspecton on my KR2S. I've got 300 hours on my KR. My only costs were for oil, filter, and a 25 cent o-ring for the Revflow carburator where I found a minor leak on the mixture input. The Revmaster engine has had a cylinder head reconditioning at 250 hours this year. Other than that maintenance has been inexpensive. I have had a blast flying it. Wish I could have flown to Marion KY, but weather just did not allow it.

Joe Horton, coopersburg, Pa. Expiration Date Clarified for Aircraft Re-registration FAA clarified the expiration date for re-registered Certificates of Aircraft Registration in an Oct. 12, 2010, memo. New regulations require aircraft owners to re-register their aircraft over the next three years and renew the registration every three years thereafter. The first re-registration notices were sent on Oct. 1, 2010, for aircraft registered in March of any year. Registration certificates for those aircraft will expire on March 31, 2011. However, once an aircraft owner submits his/her re-registration application and is issued a new certificate, that certificate will expire three years from the month it was issued regardless of when the original certificate was set to expire, e.g., a certificate originally due to expire in March 2011 that was re-registered in January 2011 will expire on Jan. 31, 2014.
