Bill; for those KR drivers on the West Coast this is a must unless they enjoy getting shaken like a martini flying through mountain passes and taking their chances with the wind shear associated with that type of operation. This has been one of the reasons that my project is taking so long to complete as all these items have to be addressed since this particular project is being constructed as a go anywhere, anytime = (within reason) bird. Presently scheduled for a single seat right down the = middle with full avionics and creature comforts for long haul. Yeh I've heard = all the get another design comments but who's got 70 or 80 grand for a = Lancair? It's hard to beat the KR's high speed, good fuel economy and fighter = like handling. At least in my opinion. The next one will incorporate all the changes that I've learned from the = net with a substantial amount of stretch in the fuselage as well as the = large spars for the new airfoil and beefing of the boat/firewall area to = handle a rotary. Interesting combination there as I'm sure Dana will agree, huge amounts of horsepower and torque weighing in at the same as a Corvair = even with the reduction drive and water cooling. Doug Rupert
