Sorry, that was meant for Larry Flesner. We were kicking around somewhere we might fly some weekend, and I replied to the wrong email. Speaking of meeting KR folks, Robert Pesak, Mike Sylvester, and I flew into Andrews, NC to visit KRnetter Randy Bryant so he could try on a KR to see if it'd f

I might add some insight since I got my PPL at Grand Forks airport, North Dakota a number of years ago. We trained in Cessna 150's with Continental O-200. We were allowed to fly until it hit -10 F below zero before flying activities were suspended. Pre-heat was mandatory below 35F. I now
