KR>Re: KR Gathering Website Updates

[John Bouyea]

Ok, I've finally caught up with my XC trip, the nephew's wedding and getting
N133RM off the ground after the annual inspection. 
You can see photos from the 2021 Gathering as well as the Cash Report from
Rob on the http://www.krgathering.net web site.
Look for the " Photos from past KR Gathering Events" and "Cash Flow Report"
links on the home page.
And by the way, it's never too early to start planning to attend the 2022
Gathering at Mt Vernon!

Took a bit of a butt whooping.  Nothing a lot of money and energy can't fix.
Definite bummer to have missed it.  But I'm still here.  and I will be

Sorry to say, you missed a good one this year.  Small, maybe, but lots of 
airplane talk and everyone got to see something different.
Though you have to wait to see the whole group, you can always go see the KRs 
close to hurricane alley after they pass by.  And if you get bored with that 
Louisiana winter, come up this way for a refreshing cool-down this winter.
Hope you weathered that storm OK.

KR> RE: KR Gathering from a neewbie's point of view.

[Jeff York]

I feel that this is a great set of subjects and agree with all stated both by 
Dan and what a great viewpoint stated by a newbie. 
 
Let me also agree that what Larry does to make this happen is nothing short of 
amazing, incredible and I for one appreciate Larry for doing so. Even though I 
have only been to a few gatherings and my plane to only one, I can still 
appreciate Larry's efforts and the results of his efforts.
 

KR> RE: KR Gathering from a neewbie's point of view.

[Dan Heath]

This is a very well written and well thought out analysis of not only the KR
Gathering but also the attendee.

The one item that I believe the Gathering can do better is to add the N
number of the plane that the pilots have committed to fly to the event, to
their name tag.  This will let the attendee know who the pilot is of each
plane at the event.  Another is to give those "Look but don’t touch" prop
signs to each pilot and the pilot can identify their self on that tag.  If
you are interested in a particular plane, just go to the plane and usually
the pilot will show up, because we like to talk about our planes and answer
questions.  If you see a crowd around a plane, you can be pretty sure that
the pilot is among them and he will not be hard to identify.

As for the forums, they are what they are.  If the attendee needs more, stay
after class or ask questions during class.  This is the responsibility of
the attendee.  However, the point is well taken that everyone in the forum
is not a seasoned vet and maybe we should assume that the person attending
the forum does not much about the subject.

As for the workshops, that is a great comment.  We should remember that
everyone does not know how to work with fiberglass and maybe some of the
other techniques that are needed to build a KR.  I remember my first
gathering after I started building this second KR.  It was in Pine Bluff and
Mark Langford was giving a demonstration on doing a fiberglass layup.  I
thought, "I don't need to go to this, I have already built a KR".  But,
having nothing else to do at the time, I looked in.  To this day, I use at
least 3 of the things that I learned at that "workshop", every time I do a
layup.  So, maybe you "Experienced" builders can be thinking of what you can
present at the next Gathering, and if possible, make it a "Hands On"
experience for the attendees.

Now, for the attendee...  If the attendee really wants to get the full "bang
for the buck", that person should plan ahead and set priorities so that the
attendee can get there on Friday morning and be there through the banquet on
Sunday night.  The attendee may consider making a list of the subjects he
wants to get more information on and maybe make a list of questions he wants
to get answers to.  One year there was a young man who came up to me and
asked if I had some time to answer his questions.  I had a flying KR, but it
was not at the event that year.  He proceeded to ask all the questions he
had for me and then went on to the next pilot on his list.  I understand
that he developed his list of questions by reading all he could get from the
various web sites that some of the pilots keep.

Regarding "For Sale" stuff, I think you need to have someone there to "Sell"
the stuff, and who wants to spend the entire Gathering sitting at a table of
stuff waiting for someone to come up to buy it.  I have a list of stuff on
my web site that is for sale and occasionally make a post on the KR net.  If
anyone wants any of it, I will be most happy to bring it to the next
Gathering, with the exception of the 2276 Great Plains (Mostly) VW engine
that I have for sale.  Maybe we all can make a posting of what we have for
sale before the Gathering and take "interest" orders and bring those things
that people ask for, to the Gathering.

The next thing that I think should be done address the "planes" comment.
Yes, we all want more planes.  However, all persons who come to the
Gathering need to know the great expense that some pilots incur just to get
their planes there and back home safely.  For years, pilots have had to
fight the weather, sometimes getting weathered in on the way to the
Gathering or going back home.  Often, this means having to stay extra nights
in hotels and paying hangar fees to keep their prize possession out of the
weather.  Sometimes it even means losing your KR and sustaining moderate to
severe injury.  If you have not flown your personal plane to the Gathering,
this may be not so easy to comprehend, but the first time you do it, you
will have a great appreciation for what the pilots go through every year.

This brings up the next subject that I have been pushing for ever since my
first flight to a KR Gathering.  We need to consider moving the Gathering to
a later date, like the middle of October, to give us a better opportunity
for good weather?

We came very close to losing another KR Builder and flyer this week and did
lose another KR.

I know you cannot outsmart mother nature, but I asked our meteorologist a
few years ago, what is the best time of year for the greatest chance of good
weather across the entire country.  He told me October.  I will bet that if
I had asked him what was the worst, he would say September, or any other
time when the seasons are changing.

I have never flown to a Gathering without having weather trouble.  If I had
made it to the Gathering this year, which may have been a possibility, there
is no way I would have made it back home

Made it home easily by 11:30 am after a leisurely breakfast at Mount Vernon. 
Did make a fuel stop at in Mid Missouri because of headwinds going home. 
Airplane is flying great this year.

Yes, concur with all others. A great Gathering! But we need more new planes to 
drool over! All those who promised to bring them next year need to get going!

I have been trying to get a printout of the new airfoils but haven't been
able to make it work.  The best that I have gotten is a twenty inch plot.. I
dont think that is enough!  I just cant get my program to print any bigger.
If someone knows of a reasonable plotter program or could bring a set to the
gathering I would appreciate it. Also would like to see some of the goodies
offered at the gathering like News letter CD's and some of the books on
Corvairs and VW's If possible and not a great inconvenience.  I ask this
with hesitance as I don't want the gatheriong to get as commercial as
Oskosh.   Thanks   Russ
Looking forward to Red Oak
