I confess that the greatest enjoyment I get from flying is the navigation part. I am always somewhat thrilled when I plan a cross country trip and everything works as planned...using visual with charts and E-6B. Such great fun, but..when I find myself a bit in doubt, my little handheld GPS is a blessing,...it usually says to me; "you're okay, you did it right". The other great asset of my GPS is it's aid in test flying your new homebuilt. It's more honest and exacting than my airspeed indicator and magnetic compass. But if it hadn't been invented or I couldn't afford it, I would have just as much fun. I do think that part of the experience of home building (for many of us) is due to the fact that one doesn't have a pocketbook or purse to support a sophisticated aircraft. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Glover" <kr...@cox.net> To: "'KRnet'" <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2005 2:24 PM Subject: RE: KR> GPS
