I like the idea of the forums too. Here's and Idea. What if we had 2 workshops during the year. They could be located in an area that would be convenient for the most people. I think if no one had to drive more that 8 hours then we could get some real stuff done. As far as the subject I would suggest that in addition to just holding a show and tell that whomever host it should be someone who has a part that needs to be built, like a wing, turtledeck, gear installation, etc That way people get some real hands on and everyone learns something. The person getting the wing built still meets the 51% rule because they have another wing to build and the rest of the plane too.
I use the wing example because I am ready to build mine and would love the help. If there are enough folks near Baltimore I could look into hosting one and I know of a hanger at Essex on the east side of Baltimore I can use . http://www.essexskyparkassn.org/essex/index.jsp Craig www.kr2seafury.com www.flightwidgets.com ________________________________ From: Sid Wood <smw...@md.metrocast.net> To: kr...@mylist.net Sent: Friday, October 5, 2012 10:14 AM Subject: KR> Gathering Forums Seems like people are interested in the forums at MVN, but might be hard to get presenters; some are very knowledgeable, but might not be polished speakers. Getting materials there for show & tell can be a chore when you are flying your KR also. Recruiting subject matter experts from the audience during the forum leaves much to be desired. Just as in engine operation, timing is everything. For the spring Gathering I would gladly conduct a forum for fiberglass-epoxy wet lay up similar to that found at AirVenture Oshkosh. The logistics need to be worked out. Conversation with Scott Wicks indicates a strong interest to add Mixture Meters to the Wicks product line. Perhaps there is a continued interest from the KR community for Mixture Meter forums. I can help with that too.
