Well, since the list is slow and I rarely post here anyway, I thought I'd burn just a little bit of bandwidth by posting a (lousy) picture of me climbing out of Paul Martin's VW-engined KR2 after my first and only KR ride ever. This was in about 2000 or 2001 when I had a 30" waist and weighed about 130, so getting in and out was a breeze and Paul & I fit comfortably in the airplane. The plane was a taildragger when he got it, but he converted it to trigear and also had to do a lot of work on the gunked-up molded fuel tank that it had when he got it. Conventional Rand-Robinson fuel tank under the top cowling and with the molded-in recess for a COM radio. Auto fuel must have gotten to it; gigantic mess.
The big smile on my face in the photo is very genuine. The ride was exhilarating! Paul let me fly it from the right seat all the way down till short final. Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC, A75 power
