I have to say, I was really looking forward to a gathering in Granada, MS and was disappointed when it was turned down. I like the idea of doing Mt Vernon every other year, or maybe I should say flying somewhere other than Mt vernon every second or third year. Larry and Chris do a great job

KRnetHeads, I've been thinking for a couple of years now that while Mount Vernon is a great place for the KR Gathering (there may be no better place), I miss going somewhere different. I wouldn never have gone to Red Oak Iowa, Pine Bluff Arkansas, Perry Oklahoma, Lake Barkley Kentucky,

Sorry about the rant. I get these fits. Participants are doing much better at not re-posting than it used to be. Dan said, > "Then he sold it to Gene who put a new hour meter in it and it has accumulated 1850 hours from several tach/hour meters since then." There's an hour

[quote] I will say that 1200+584=1784 which is pretty close to 1850 so that may be the answer that ties it all together especially if the "several tach/hour meters" were Tiny Tachs! Hi Mark; Well then I'm confusing it with Dan Diehl's statement and adding it twice then but that's still 1.46

[quote] Sorry Dan but this doesn't compute. If it had 1850 total time on the airframe at the last annual (which was in the last few months if I remember correctly)how to you figure adding the 1200 hours that it had on it when Dan sold it to Gene to get a new total time? Unless Gene put a new

I did some checking into this myself. The way I understand it, there are two classes of LSA. Those being S-LSA which are factory built LSA compliant airplanes. These are not "certified" planes, rather are build to accepted standards and are self-regulated by the manufacturer. The

You guys need to take advantage of the past writings in the KRNet archive on this subject. The Ivo props have been tested on the VWs and found to be a failure with a lousy company that won't stand behind them. Orma Robbins is a long time A/IA/KR builder/pilot with a ton of experience. I

Hi Guys and Girls; I dug out the log books of O'l Blue (N4DD), there are several of them. They are sometimes difficult to read so I transcribed them into a computer file. Bob Glidden and I settled on about 1850 hours total time on the airframe at the last annual. It has had several

Dwight, Before you go down the track of what to build etc, you don't give your experience of flying. If the answer is none you have to ask is flying for me & can I get a certificate, go get a few flying lessons & get your medical, then if you decide to carry on, Get to the next "Gathering"

I'm not a KR builder but have always really liked them. I do fly Sport Pilot and any airplane that meets the speed, weight etc you can fly as Sport Pilot. The best thing is to build an experimental that meets the requirements and that's all you need. I wouldn't bother with any type LSA
