I had a mate in France. Surg Videl. He built and was flying a kr. I have being trying to contact him for over 12 months , but we have lost contact. He was in Paris, after return home from Melbourne. We were good friends, My last contact he was using the very fast train to get to work ?????? I think He still has a few links in the kr network somewhere of posts ???
