I have long amazed my self at how cheap flying a KR is. I pay $75 a month for a hanger, $3.00 a gallon for regular car gas, and do all my own maintenance. She burns about 3 gallons an hour. I try to go to the airport once a week, open the doors, pull her cover off, fly out over the farm, shoot three landings, and put her away...all in less than two hours and for less than twenty bucks. I rarely go anywhere anymore, but do go home with a smile.
