I couldn't think of the name, and eventually decided it was Max (so close!), probably due to reading old Newsletters. I did meet Ken at the Gathering, and am still considering mimicking his "Ellison on top of the engine" setup. >>Ken is currently flying one of the three KR's built by Sam Bailey of Pratt, KS. Marc Baca has another one and the third is in an aviation museum in Pratt or somewhere near. I met Sam Bailey at a Corvair College. He was quite a perfectionist. I'm sure the one Marc bought is awesome, given the time spent and the practice and lessons learned on the first and second one!
