I know Randy was kidding when he said this. I don't think Lee's plane was
flying yet, although I could be wrong.
Lots of KRs have been totaled or substantially damaged by first flights on
"pickup".? I could have easily become a statistic myself, and I consider
myself to be a pretty good KR pilot.? You get a one-way airline ticket weeks
in advance, and when you get there you're under pressure to fly it home,
whether you (and it) are ready or not.? Although you could spend a few days
going through it to see if it's airworthy, what you really need to do is
trailer the thing home and go over it for several WEEKs, to make sure you
know exactly how it operates, and if it's really safe to fly...with no
pressure to fly it home right now.
If trailering a KR home from buying it sounds like a hassle, imagine the
hassle of? being in the hospital for a few weeks because something didn't
work exactly like you'd hoped or expected...
