Oscar, Joe, and KRNetters, Your comments are certainly not appreciated and are certainly offensive. I have, in fact eaten my share of "Humble Pie" on this one, and you making further comments such as below is likened to rubbing salt into a wound. The majority of the commenters had taken my original comments to Mac, out of context.--Which is the only reason why I apologized to begin with.
But since you seem to want to open this can of worms, then I feel that I must comment back and for good: 1.) Seeing's how Mac has all of this flight test experience, does this somehow exclude him from utilizing the spell checker? Even Mac himself admits that his English is: (and I quote him) "horrible". So if he knows he has a problem, an educated person would compensate by utilizing tools at his easy disposal. Right ? 2.) So Oscar, does this mean if you're building, test flying aircraft on a regular basis that everyone on the Net must take time to read, re-read, and decipher someone's hiroglyphic messages? meaning that that person's time is more important than someone else's? I think NOT. FYI: I work in the Boeing Phantom Work's, on a program with a very, VERY compressed, aggressive schedule. For the last 3 weeks, I've been putting in 64+ hour work-weeks. Please believe me: I love my work, and truly enjoy the team of talented people that I have the pleasure of working with., as I'm not complaining. My point being is this: Myself and others simply don't have the time in the day to try and decipher someone's mis-spelled, un-punctuated message. In fact, it's inconsiderate, self-serving and rude. I was under the impression when I started my project just over a year ago, that the KRNet was a group dedicated to building and Flying the KR Series aircraft. Frankly, Oscar, if you don't have the courtesy to do a simple thing like utilizing a spell check program before you send an eMail comment, maybe you then should just "FALL OUT". The KRNet Administrator, just last week, got flamed for this very same thing. Mark was merely pointing out that these messages reach around the globe, have a little consideration for others right? That's what I got from it, as I wouldn't want to speak for Mark Langford. Lately, all I've been spending my time doing is defending or explaining something that was taken completely out of context. This is activity that I actually loathe, as it goes completely against everything I was ever taught---Never explain yourself, your friends already know, and your enemies don't care. My profession, and myself personally have been attacked on this Net by Panzera, and others. So because of comments such as below, and the fact that all of this nonsense is only distracting my progress at work, and at home on my aircraft project, I'm removing myself from this list. I have real aircraft to design and build.

(1) all those among you who don't own a set of plans and manual for a KR, fall out; (2) of those left standing, if you aren't actively building an airplane, fall out; (3) of those still standing, if you're not a licensed and current pilot, fall out; (4) of the remaining ones, if you've never completed and test-flown a homebuilt aircraft, fall out; (5) the rest of you still standing, turn and offer the right hand of fellowship to the very few still around you. Mac is one of them. I am not. Are you? Point of the exercise: Mac has built and flown his own homebuilt KR aircraft, and flies it regularly. That being the case, I not only don't care if he can spell, punctuate, or speak English, I am darned fortunate to have his valuable input on this list at all! Most who finish their projects just move on because they aren't interested in the endless nit-picking and rabbit trails that these lists take off on.
