I guess I knew that and it got right past me.  It was Rand / Robinson 
for many years until Stu sorta dropped out and moved to the country as I 
recall.  Thanks for the correction.

KitPlanes magizine weekely e-mail had an article on composite 
construction entitled "resin infusion" that opened with the following 
statement.

"In the beginning, there was Rutan. The 1975 arrival of the VariEze at 
Oshkosh introduced homebuilders to structural composite construction and 
spawned a flood of new designs."

I couldn't let that stand so I e-mailed the editor the following e-mail:


SUBJECT:  Article on resin infusion

COMMENT"

The article opens with the following statement.
"In the beginning, there was Rutan. The 1975 arrival of the VariEze at 
Oshkosh introduced home-builders to structural composite construction 
and spawned a flood of new designs."

Factually WRONG.  It was Ken Rand that showed up at Oshkosh in 1972 with 
the KR1 and in 1974 with the KR2 that started a "flood of new designs".  
Ken Rand and his partner Stu Robertson were among the first to start a 
revolution in composite construction and sold thousands of plan sets for 
the KR series.  KR's are still being built today with the evolution to 
the KR2S,  a stretched version of the original.  The fact that the KR 
series revolutionized the home-building  world seems to be lost to history.
