Guys, go back and re-read the article. The number "40 or so" was in reference to the number of attendees, not the number of planes. Number of attendees was something well north of 40, but most of the time I saw 30 - 40 folks hanging around. Dave Prizio was there and talked to a number of builders and pilots. The quotes about stalls and speeds came directly from various KR pilots and published Rand Robinson/NvAero numbers, which he credits with the quotes. Some, like Adrian Carters quote about stalls he must have found on line. Adrian was on the KRNet some 15 years ago, but I haven't seen anything posted from him for many years, so I don't know where Dave dug that up. In reference to Mark, he was giving you credit for creating the EAA Webinar. Dave may very well have thought you attended as your name came up a number of times and there was some confusion about whether you were going to show up late or not. Whether you actually made it there or not wasn't really pertinent to the statement giving you credit for creating the webinar.
Overall, based on the fact that the information in the article came directly from the KR pilots, I thought Dave wrote a fair piece. The only way he could write a fair article about the flight characteristics of the plane would be if one of us handed him the keys and sent him off for an evaluation. I'm not handing over my KR to another pilot. How about you? Give the guy a break. Dave Prizio gave the KRs and the KR gathering some good publicity. As a whole, he portrayed the KR line as a small, high performance, inexpensive aircraft that is highly customizable. I can't disagree with any of that. The stuff you guys are griping about is noise level, nit picking non-sense. -Jeff Scott > > So how many KRs made it to Chino last year?
