RE:  I'll see it at the gathering in Sept 04, unless you
are flying through NC.

And.  If you are flying through NC, SC is only a little, very short for
a KR, way away.

KR>IT PASSED

[larry flesner]

Netters,

My KR passed it final inspection today with only 4 minor things
to do / correct.

1. label my outside canopy latch handle for "open" and "closed".
  That item is done.
2. A slight re-routing of my fuel line from the gascolator to the
carb.  I plan to relocate my gascolator a few inches to take
care of that item.  Estimated time 1 hour.
3. Install a stretched spring in my crankcase vent line to the 
air/oil separator to keep it from colapsing.  Estimated time
10 minutes.
4.  Re-safety my prop bolts with .040 wire instead of the .032
 I had used.  He indicated he had seen the lighter wire 
 fail but never the .040.  Estimated time 30 minutes.

THEN IT IS READY TO FLY!!!

The aircraft inspection took about 30 minutes and the paperwork
was maybe 1.5 hours.  The inspector's only comment was " you're
going to have a nice airplane".  I promised to stop in and see
him on my way to visit Mark Langford when I get the time flown
off.  He was going to give me a 50 mile flight test area but I asked
him to include one of my favorite airports at 54 miles.  He said he
would just make it 55 miles instead.

What he looked for:
- general workmanship
- use of proper hardware and the correct use of that hardware.  Bolts
the right length, only steel locknuts in the engine compartment,
turnbuckles safety wired, etc.
- All required placards and all controls, switches, knobs, etc., labeled
for operation.
- He suggested I install a heat shield on the bottom end of my brake line to
 shield it from the heat of the brake.  My line is nylon. He didn't
write that one up but I have an easy fix in mind and will probably 
take care of that item before first flight.

It will be a few days before I have time to finish correcting the items
and the weather is forcasted to be bad for a few days so it will
probably be at least the weekend before first flight.  I'll keep
you posted.

All Right Larry I'll bet it will be a hard next
few nights... Airplane noises are now dominating your
thoughts and conversation?
That's GREAT NEWS!

Well, now we know.  There will be at least 1 KR at next years gathering. 
And a FINE one at that.

Did you have any doubts?  

I am interested to hear about your brake line fix.  We have nylon also.

Congratulations on your beautifull newborn KR.  Let me be one of the first to 
welcome you as a completed KR owner.  You will get taught the secret handshake 
as soon as you complete the first flight.

Wishing you the best on the first flight and hoping that the hardest part is 
the drive to the airport with the butterflies in your stomach.
