Thanks Wayne, OK I just read his (wifes) last blog post, he passed away Aug 13, 2010 from cancer. The blog is terrific, and he was too from everything what I can see. There is a lot of good VW info. I can save it by "printing" each page to PDF in Chrome, but with hundreds of pages, is there an e

Great post. I would like to ask specifically the differences in what you consider "good" VW conversions vs less good. I truly have no idea and someday will need to know. Also, i have looked at a number of "temporary rides" to fly while buildinga KR and are usually VW power. I wonder what to loo

You need to know that this has been going on for a very long time. Sometimes it is just as you described, but the KR group has evolved and they expect a lot more. The aircraft really need to be hangared at night. No one wants to lose their plane due to a freak storm. The expense for a pilot to g

I'd be keen to understand what killed Jeremy Monnett before I'd go there (Aerovee Turbo). The aircraft he was in was a test bed for this engine as I understand it. TK On 3 July 2015 at 14:42, Chris Prata via KRnet wrote: > This oughtta fix that... > http://www.sonexaircraft.com/research/aerove

Interesting insight, I had thought that this was a much less formal thing. In another post, 10-20 KR expected, so it seemed like it would be sufficient to agree on an airport with sufficient parking, a date, and share accommodations, ride sharing, contact, and other convenience info. Then it wo

Well that is interesting. But crash cause could have been anything. I dont recall they called loss of power or anything. But I guess we'll have to see. > Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2015 14:46:11 +1000 > To: krnet at list.krnet.org > Subject: Re: KR> Gathering 2016 > From: krnet at list.krnet.org > CC: tkin
