Rich _____ Rich, I have been on the net since around the turn of the century. A friend of mine, Sid Wood was building a KR2 and I thought it was the greatest of planes so ordered the plans and started building. However, like you, life changed my direction and I wound up buying a Cherokee 140 and moving so the KR2S building went into hibernation. Mark Jones had sellers remorse and was looking for a project so my KR2s went south to Florida. Mark said it should fly next spring and I am so excited to see it fly and be a ½ ass builder since I had completed the foundation of it! In the meantime, Sid and I purchased Challenger II kits back in 2019 since we were getting older and low and slow seemed the way to go. Well COVID almost shut down the Challenger factory and to this day they will not give a kit delivery date. So Sid bought a kit from one of our EAA Chapter members and we started covering it end of September and are down to covering the last wing and fuselage. Hopefully we will be flying in a Challenger by next spring. I have had one flight in a Challenger and it was great. I have stayed on the KRnet and also follow a lot of the stories. Been to Red Oak, Mount Vernon and other KR gatherings. Still waiting for my first KR ride 😊 r/Bernie Lusby, MD
