In my dream I was hosting the KR gathering on the Play ground adjacent to a house that I spent a good part of my youth. Several KR had arrived and were lined up at the fence between the house and play ground. I had been inside talking with a non flying friend while hanging maps of Michigan and other areas on the wall. There was a group discussion where someone was asking guess what part this is, Holding an old KR retract casting in his hand. Only two people answered and one of the answers was that it was a Diehl gear (That person must not have been around the KR for long). As the dream ended, I was leading this large group of attendees to my house. I started to wonder if I had told my wife about the gathering and that all these people were coming to visit. Well Larry, since the gathering is near, if you or any of the Netters are having KR dreams I hope they are pleasant ones.

The wings are fitted with wing tanks and came out beautifully, but the thing is this, The WAF are still the same. I am sure that the 32 liter tanks on each side should help with unloading the WAF. Should I redo the WAF or could I fit a stretch plate between the top inboard WAF and the bottom outboard WAF (front and rear)? I plan on operating the plane at a 1250 lbs Gross weight. The horisontal stabiliser has been extended 4 inches per side, the vertical stabiliser has also been extended with 4 inchesand the wing span is 24.2 ft (RAF48). Any thoughts?

Of course the "Lead Sled" reference meant too dam heavy. If you use the recomended power and build according to plans, nothing needs to be beefed up. Built acording to plans, this is a very strong airplane. Of course if you put more than the recomended power under the cowling, then some areas would possibly need to be beefed up and if you are not an aeronautical engineer, you better get one's advice.

Sorry if this has already been discussed over the past weeks, but I missed it. I plan to be at Oshkosh ( probably driving this year, instead of flying the KR2 over) but would like to meet up with some fellow KR pilots for a beer (or two). And Mark , I owe you a beer or two for that harrowing story on your "dead stick " landing . Had me on the edge of my sling seat!
