KR> Mark Jones' KR
You know, the doggone list administrator (Langford) just can't be caught. I thought I'd find Mark Jones' KR still on the "under construction" column on the www.krnet.org website, but the net admin is too quick. Jones' KR is already on the "flying KRs" list. I guess I could have checked on Sunday afternoon and caught Langford lagging on updating the list. Next time ;o) Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX mailto: taildr...@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net

Jones' KR is > already on the "flying KRs" list. There's a reason it's done already. Mark called me from the airport, still breathless, to tell me I needed to get his name moved from "under construction" to "flying KRs". I had it done before I hung up the phone. If you were really on the ball you'd have known he made his first flight before he announced it! I'll add my "CONGRATULATIONS!" to the long list. Job well done! Now start feeding us information like Larry's been doing, particularly with respect to performance of the new airfoil and the Corvair engine. Today I filled out the paperwork for the KR forum at OSH, and ammended my "bio" to say "Mark Langford has built AND FLOWN a KR2S...", so I'm on the hook to have it done by then for sure. I'm shooting for Monday (first day) morning, or Tuesday at the latest for the forum. And I'll fly it to the Gathering if I have to leave a week early, so bring that Killians Red, Steve. I have to confess that flying this thing isn't my number one priority right now, just like it obviously hasn't been for the last ten years. There are other things in life that have to get done, but finishing up the KR happens, slowly but surely. I'm finding that any excuse to learn all about something new during the building process is justification enough to take a minor detour. I'll add something about the KRs that have flown so far to the bottom of the airfoil page. I'm pretty sure it's just the four that Mark J mentioned, but there will be many more shortly...

Oscar; Just to let you know there is another KR2 that should be listed on the flying side of the ledger. C-GCJI is a pretty little trike, subaru powered, based at Havelock NB, the property of John Adkins. Just thought that you would like to know that the records were short by at least one flyer.

I guess I could have checked on Sunday afternoon and caught Langford lagging on updating the list. Next time ;o) Oscar, I did check on Sunday afternoon and it was done. I can't remember the time, but I was impressed. Way to go Mark L. Orma

One of the list rules (or at least 'netiquette' issues) is to avoid "me too" posts so I won't take up space here to echo what has already been said to Mark Jones about the beautiful and unique 1/4-clamshell-gullwing-whatever canopy setup. What I will say is, "Mark- don't spoil it by using hardware store hinges!" At least work out a design with the pivot pin part submerged in the construction rather than flyin' in the airstream. What you have here is a GlasAir setup with Flying Squirrel hinges ;o) Oscar Zuniga San Antonio, TX mailto: taildr...@hotmail.com website at http://www.flysquirrel.net _ Tired of spam?

Oh dang Oscar...now I am going to have to go to the rod end bearing design I was going to use. I was just trying to use the "keep it simple" idea. But you are right...it deserves better.
