KR> 2016 Gathering at Mount Vernon
KRnetHeads, Nobody else has volunteered to host the 2016 Gathering other than Larry Flesner and Chris Collins with MVN, so Mount Vernon, IL (KMVN) is where the 2016 KR Gathering will be held. At least one volunteer is planning to host the Gathering in 2017, and another for 2018, at this point. That works out very nicely in my mind...MVN every third year, and someplace refreshingly different in between! Also, the informal committee has decided to table the notion of creating an official organization, as the need was not overwhelmingly compelling at this time, with the understanding that circumstances may cause a review at a later date. There are reasons for this that are significant but not obvious, but I don't want to put them in an email. It will require beer and a campfire to pry it out of me...or at least beer... -- Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com
KR> TURBO KR2
Probably would be real efficient at 25,000'. Not exactly practical for a KR, but certainly has a lot of cool factor.

KR> LED bar vs needle for AFR gauge
I am using the same one. I find that I cannot see the LED's in flight due to the sun.

KR> Jet Engine in KR
There was one owned by Steve Trentman years back also if I recollect. Attached is a photo of it. Apologies for the quality but the image has been through my computer wringer over the years. Steve did sell it...was it to you Mike??
