Re: Airplane Name ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: On names From: "David Goodman" Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 7:55:52 X-Message-Number: 1 I think giving a name to the KR is a great idea. It is not an insult to the builder. Heck, I think he would be proud of the KR-net and all that has been done to this plane, and would acknowledge it has been taken far beyond what he did with it himself. I would go so far as to submit that there are very few actual "KRs" out there flying, with all the changes that have been made by virtually every builder who has made one. Other aircraft designs in kit form are just that, kits. Each one built is a clone due to the nature of the design. This is certainly not true of the KR. KR-net is more of a lose confederation of folks who started out at the same point and diverged to meet their own goals in building, design and flight. Take some credit for our uniqueness as a group of builders and designers and give a name to this aircraft. I for one am in favor of the name "Dart".

Just kidding. Most people I talk to in the aviation circles thinks the KR2 is a joke because a lot of them have only seen the junky ones or heard someone else talk about a junky one they saw. There usually are not too many good ones that show up at any airshow to disprove those tells. How about Blendall, or Woody, or maybe DEFIANT after all most KR builders are!! Lighten Up folks Just popping off here.

If I *really* want my post to go to the list, it just takes a click on the net's address from my address list to add it. If I want to respond to a post but don't think it's necessary for the whole list to see it because it really does nothing to further any information, I do a similar thing by deleting the net's address and adding the poster's address from the header or mailto line. For me, it takes no more time to do this than having to go thru all the unnecessary posts and deleting them as well as not cluttering the list.

Can you help?? Thanks for your response. Cheers, phil gower. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Pushrods From: DClarke351@aol.com Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 20:39:14 EDT X-Message-Number: 6 Hi all you netters out there in net land. Good news for you, good news for me. I sent a copy of my pushrod drawings to Mark Langford so in about a week they should be available on a web site. He will probably let us know where and how to get them. Once again thank you for your interest. I hope they are understandable and will be of benifit to you in your projects.

This was an slightly oddball idea but still interesting and worth thinking about. Apparently lots of people immediately sent the person who posted it negative comments, all but one of which were not put on the list. Is this going to happen on every thread? Some may hope so... BTW is "naming little planes" the SUBJECT of this missive? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: HAPI help From: "Oscar Zuniga" Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 21:41:58 PDT X-Message-Number: 9 I don't know if anybody can help this person, but here goes (and if you can help, please email direct): >From: "Mischa Radich" >Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 15:20:49 +0200 > >Could you tell me the E- mail of Hapi Engines,Inc, >Used to produce the VW engines in Elroy Az,. >Thanks in advance,I remain,very truly yours, >Mischa ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: mechanical fuel pump From: Mike Mims Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 22:13:15 -0700 (PDT) X-Message-Number: 10 Call Revmaster @ 760-244-3074 --- phil gower wrote: > Dear fellow KR2 owner - Wanted to purchase a > mechanical fuel & oil pump and mounting plate for a 'Revmaster' 2100 VW engine.

The comment made earlier is correct - people remember names. As an interesting point, the well known, historical, adrenaline producing "Spitfire" was almost sent into service as the 'Swallow'!! As for a name...something that goes well with 'KR'. I'm afraid though that I have no ability in this direction to suggest something. mailto:pjohnson@voyageur.ca --- END OF DIGEST --- You are currently subscribed to kr-net as: johnbou@timberline.com To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-kr-net-17800J@telelists.com
