Be careful when you convert on your measurements fellows - Remember that even Nasa screwed up the Mars probe because of bad conversions. Just stick to the system your used to. We Americans like the standard version of measurements because it is our form of rebellion against "civil" societies. Something like our English language, it does not have easy to follow rules, only exceptions to rules...ie. I before E except after C... and so on.. Yet for being so BACKWARDS we are the strongest market and country in the world! We are like the black sheep of the world - and proud of it. We dont mean to stick it in the eye of others, its just that we want to stand out and be different. Even our "standard" method has very little standards in it. But hows this one, shall we measure in pecks and cubits ? Get used to the fact that we have an interesting and screwed up world - and enjoy it. Our differences compel us to converse with each other and learn how to get along and we are the better for it I believe. I have many, many new friends because of differences and learning how to understand them and converse with them. So be it inches, yards, meters, liters, knots, or tablespoons, I think we can make things work out well enough to get the plane built and FLYING! You can build your KR with just a piece of string with knots tied in it for your measurements and if it looks about right - it will probably FLY!. For all those precise measurements everyone has taken on their airplane Ive never seen two KRS that looked the same - Hugh... Maybe measurements arent the point - build safe....get to the Gathering, enjoy your family and friends...thats enough for me..
