I have been on this list off and on for several years as well as many other lists. Sometimes list members will post something that is not related to that particular lists main focus. My thought has always been oh well (delete, ignore, or wow that's interesting). When you stay with a list long enough you begin to learn the personalities of many of the list members and some of how they think or what they may say concerning subject matter. You all know exactly what I mean. My point is, sometimes it is better to just read or delete and go on. When someone tells others to not post something unrelated to the lists main goal, it always seems to cause many replies that would normally not be there. So instead of the one off subject post then there are many off subject posts. I am very verbal about some subjects and inquisitive about those that I know little about. There have been many times that I could have chimed in on posts but chose to just say Oh Well. If someone posts a falsehood or detrimental information concerning construction or flying these little birds then it is the duty of those who know better to correct misinformation. If off airplane info comes, we all could "Oh Well" a little more then we would all be more happy campers. I just happened to be one of those interested in Serges perspective on the France situation, I do not know anyone else there. I like the KR family and have met a lot of very nice people through KR. We all know how the press can blow things completely out of proportion so some reality on the situation was refreshing to me. Isaac, you are welcome here, we can teach you how to build your plane as good or as bad as we do and be prepared for a little scolding from time to time, we all have had a few scoldings ourselves. Actually I don't think you can participate without at least one or two. As someone stated earlier, if you want to participate in any talk group you need to develop thick skin cause you will need it. By the way I have taken my modified KR2WL out of storage, brought it home to my hangar, and have been looking at it deciding what to do to it. This plane has been in storage for at least 10 years. It is basically a KR but has several building mods like most of yours do. It is wider, longer and has a foam/fiberglass bottom which makes the bottom extremely strong. I can jump up and down in it without falling through to the floor. : ) I have emailed several people on this list asking opinions about different things lately, thank all of you for your replies and or help! I do plan on using a VW engine at this point in time because I like VWs. I have a convertible KarmanGhia, and a modified Bug that looks like some kind of old hot rod. I plan on using the new airfoil just for grins. I have a mold that I made many years ago for the turtleback, it is designed to fit a Q200 canopy. It should look similar to a Q200 from a frontal view except it will not have a canard of course. Oh Well Larry H.
