Thanks Gary for the info. Yes, I know those who are flying gliders at the
Sundance Aviation, Moriarity NM, and it is just about 40 minutes drive from
my place (KAFB). In fact, my CFI (John S.) and my friend Mike Rocks from
the KAFB are both fly the towing plane or glider interchangeably at
Moriarit

there's never been a structural failure (spars, fuselageanything

Thanks Randy and Pat for all your elaborated experiences and information,
as I consider these critical heritage safety data for risk assessment of
flying KR2... That was a critical piece of data (5 engine outs with 5 safe
landings!) which will probably convince me to give up my idea of spending

If you look at a Cirrus it is totaled when you pull the chute. They bury all

important it is to continually have a landing site picked out throughout
every phase of every flight.
You are going to actually land the plane, mul
