Thank you - a nostalgic trip it was, particularly reading Ken's obit - I still remember the event, but I never knew what happened. I always thought that he had an accident doing a movie shoot (the KR acting the part of a "drone"?) Terminology Problem: >From Don Reid's collection: (An early article on the KR1) I was under the impression that Ken used polyU foam - like the open cell product that my wife uses for flower arrangements - comes in green or brown and can also be made by mixing two parts of liquid. This article talks of polystyrene foam - to me that is a white (or blue) closed cell foam that can be hot-wire cut and does not like polyester resin - very popular with radio control model fliers. Please put me straight - maybe someone knows of an archive article or other source if more info on the different foams and their respective pro's and con's. Take care - Steve
