KR> Gathering location

[Jeff York]

Larry,

I would be glad to help with recruiting companies and vendors for forums.

Just a few questions.

Anyone out there willing to share their experiences and expert knowledge to 
participate in a learning forum? Engine, glassing, sheet  metal, electrical, 
new 
technologies, wood working, props, first flights, annuals, do's dont's and what 
to look for? fuel systems, tank building, insturments, radios, builders logs 
and 
high tech builders logs, what I did wrong and what I learned from it? Or, If I 
did it again, How I would do it this time? valve adjustments, cooling

Do we have a list of all previouos vendors which I can use as a lead list? 

Do we have a prospect list of vendors we may have not seen in past gatherings 
that we would like to see in attendance?

Do we have a maximum number of vendors? 

What data, specific to total attendance, space, time and other that I might use 
to call on prospects to sell them on coming?

Have we ever thought of prospecting other groups to attend? such as the Kleenex 
, dragonfly. Quickie or EAA chapters? If we want to keep it someowhat closed to 
other groups I am fine with that.Just thinking out loud and wondering if 
attendance might help promote the cause as well as off set costs.

I would think that gleaing the vendor list from the LSA convention might be a 
great place to start to look for vendor participants? I know that considering 
the scale of our gathering it may be difficult to get vendors to commit to 
forums. But, I am willing to give it a try.

If there should be a larger group of vendors interested,would we want to  think 
about smaller food vendors or T shirt vendors or other aircraft related vendors?

I am not trying to get to far outside of the theme or confines. Just thinking 
out loud.I am not opposed to working hard to get interests, cold calling and 
promoting and working to help make it a good event. Just tell me to shut up if 
or where I go to far.

Thoughts

Mt.Vernon is actually a "state of mind" when mentioned by a KR 
builder / flier, :-) but the actual city of Mt.Vernon is located in 
southern Illinois.  Go to www.krgathering.org for all the details.

I guess my e-mail went through as you replied to it but I've still 
not gotten my copy of what I sent out.  I hope I'm the only one.

KR> third time is a charm???

[Larry Flesner]

(THIS IS THE THIRD POST OF THE SAME E-MAIL.  I SENT THE ORIGINAL THIS 
MORNING BUT NEVER GOT IT BACK.  I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO MISS AN 
OPPORTUNITY. :-) )



With only 210 day left till the 2011 KR Gathering I thought I'd 
better get started with the planning.  Several of you have indicated 
a willingness to help but I hesitate to appoint anyone to a duty 
without them knowing what is involved.  So, I'll post here the areas 
of need and the responsibilities and let anyone that is willing to 
take on the responsibility for that area step forward.

Forums:
Assume complete responsibility for forums to be conducted to include 
acquiring speakers, setting schedule, determine forum subjects, etc. 
Minimum number of forums would be two, one on engines and one on 
airframe.   Local support provided will be the room and P.A. system.

Awards:
Assume complete responsibility for Gathering awards to include: 
securing judges to judge KR's, determine categories, determine 
winners based on judging results, design and purchase the awards.  Budget= $225

I currently have a volunteer to do the name tags and help to try to 
streamline the registration.  Chris Collins and crew have pretty much 
said they will take care of the registration table as in the past but 
I'm sure they could use an extra hand or two the days of the Gathering.

I am currently in communications with the Holiday Inn and info should 
be coming out soon on that.  At this point I will assume 
responsibility for the hats and shirts as well as the banquet.  If 
additional needs develop I will ask for additional support.  I will 
be available to anyone who volunteers to answer questions and help 
you with your plans.

For those of you that have attended past Gathering at Mt.Vernon, you 
know what a great facility they have and the great local 
support.  Well, it's getting even better this year.  The airport is 
in the finishing stages of a new 11,800 square foot hangar, complete 
with bathrooms and shower to be used by Gathering campers.  That will 
be in addition to facilities already in place.  Chris and crew are 
looking forward to the Gathering like kids to Christmas.

It won't be long now.  Start making your plans..

Thanks..

I lost my medical after a heart attack in 1993. I also cannot afford to jump 
through the hoops every year. I also know my limitations and would not fly 
if I were not in top shape. My flight doc. said that there was no reason 
that I should not have my medical renewed so I took the physical and was 
turned down. That eliminates me from getting a LSA.
   I will register my aircraft as a motor glider and fly.  I would like 
someone to check the FAA's records and see if there was anyone that had a 
second heart attack while flying or who had had a medical related crash 
after getting a special use medical.

 I never lost my medical nor should I, there is no rule that says I have to 
surrender my medical only that I have to ground myself, per AOPA Aeromedical 
Division. Since my heart attack I have been watching my diet and exercising and 
am in better physical shape than I have been in 20 years. I just don't have the 
money to have a stress test every year and loose my medical for 1 or 2 months 
while waiting on the FAA to review my doctors report. I am fortunate that my 
cardiologist is a pilot,the only one in the practice and friends with my flight 
surgeon  I will probably jump through all the hoops this year just so I can fly 
until I get an LSA then let it laps after that. 
  In no way would I let my love of flight get in the way of sound judgment when 
it comes to others. My attack happened while in flight at night with my 
daughter and son-in-law on board. Neither of them have a clue how to fly. What 
if I my heart had stopped while up there? 3/4 of the family gone all at one 
time, I think of that every day.
 As to building my KR to light sport rules, I thought about that a lot. my 
chief concern is the fact that I already built it for the AS5046 wings. You 
guys know better than me though. If someone could give me an idea of how much 
longer I have to make the wings to get the stall speed down and slow the top 
speed down I would appreciate it. I haven't installed my gear yet, maybe I 
could go with tricycle gear to help the top speed? Any help would be greatly 
appreciated. Maybe I can keep my other child after all. 
 Thanks in advance,
 John
