Hi folks, I had a chat yesterday with EAA's Mark Forss. He is the gentleman who coordinates the traveling road show that is EAA's SportAir Workshops. They came to near-by Columbus, Ohio in late October. The timing and proximity could hardly be better so I took in the composites workshop taught by Mark Forss himself.
Recently, while looking through KRNet's archives I discovered an article from the Oct. 1975 Sport Aviation about the woodworking workshop at Airventure turning out a KR-2 fuse and most of a horizontal stab by weeks end. I had been wanting to fire off a note of thanks to Mark for such a well done effort on the October workshop when the thought occurred to me that it sure would be nice if a KR-2S fuse build were the focus of a workshop coming back to a future Oshkosh Airventure workshop. Now many of you are probably well past needing something like this, but I'm sure some of us would be greatly benefited and that would be a great way to draw attention to the KR in an audience of likely builders. Mark tells me that there are several woodworking projects being considered for upcoming Osh workshops and though the KR-2S wasn't one of them, he'd see that it was "thrown in the hat". Mark's email addy is mfo...@eaa.org and I bet it would "ramp up the momentum" if others among us fired off a note to him supporting the idea. Just a thought. Thanks, Rich
