Bob, 

I wasn't trying to bash you either. The great thing about this KR forum
is we can ALL talk about our experiences, good bad and UGLY and benefit
from it. We've all had them. 

I honestly believe we are ALL ambassadors to our craft, it is our
responsibility and I make it an honor to introduce others to our
endeavors. With out that our sport will die. With it and we can continue
to build and fly what we like. 

If the Wright brothers had to build to certain standard we wouldn't be
here talking about building ourselves, so if that means someone wants to
try something new, and Like you said, investigate, test and prove it's
worthiness than by all means let them. It needs to be done
scientifically to prove it's validity but when it works it only betters
our sport. If Bernie Peitenpol hadn't played around with Corvairs a lot
of guys would never think of using them in our KR's. 

Thank you ruffling my feathers today and letting me get on my soapbox.
Hahaha.

I won't be at the gathering this year but I hope to be flying to next
years so I convince everybody to have one out west here and hope to meet
you. Let's get some of the flatlanders to learn high altitude landings
and takeoffs. Hahaha.

Thanks Bob!

Fred,
I was not bashing experimenters, but defending responsible
experimentation. I 
have seen abandonded projects that never flew because poor technique
added up 
to obvious disaster. 
The planes that end up flying fly because the builders did good
defendable 
work.
