About once a day I get a message from the list "mailman" that somebody has been unsubscribed due to "excessive bounces". This is something that the list manager (an automatic thing that I have limited control over) does automatically when a certain number of messages FROM KRnet or CorvAircraft are returned as "undeliverable", or "bounced". I could actually turn that feature off, but I'm using the default settings because I think it needs to stay that way. Why are messages bounced? The main reason is because some of the flakier ISPs will occasionally go down, and all messages meant for the subscriber really ARE undeliverable. Another reason is because the guy never checks his mail, and his mailbox is full. For those guys, the digest is the way to go. I think it's just about impossible to get unsubscribed if you're on the digest because you have to have at least two messages per day bounced, and the digest only goes out once per day. Who cares about bounced messages? Well, you guys that were on the old mailinglist.org list will recall that AOL, Earthlink, and several of the other common ISPs had labeled all mail from mailinglist.org as SPAM, so nobody with AOL or the others could receive mail from either list (or at least much of the time, depending on spam filter performance). The reason we gained this status is the high number of bounced messages that they received from us. Had mailinglist.org had the intelligence to cut off the flow of messages when the bounces started, we might never have ended up in that situation. That's why I'm going to leave it like it is. If you were unsubscribed, you might check into why, and try to remedy it. You are more than welcome to resubscribe, but you might consider "going digest mode", by visiting the mylist.com site at http://mylist.net/listinfo/krnet . Sorry about the administrative stuff, but it's been quiet lately, and some folks were probably thinking that I was just exercising "all this power" in my ivory tower, when in reality it's something done automatically by the system...

I'm an ex military helicopter pilot building a Kr2. What do mean adoption. Is it for sale or is it being donated. The reason being. I am preparing to start my fuselage completely over to add all the updates. My Kr boat just lacks to many of all the great changes and so I've decided to completely start over and salvage all my components that I can. I have everything minus the engine. But would like to know more about this adoption. I would be very interested in taking over the project and putting all my parts on it to finish it and get myself flying a lot quicker. If I build it (finish) it will fly :).

If I remember correctly, it weighed something like 10 pounds less than a typical KR2S fuselage (even though it's longer and wider) but is far stronger due to the composite construction. He created a novel system of bending up the cross-sectional pieces by steaming thin strips of spruce and laminating them in a jig while glueing them into varying widths. As far as I'm concerned, the best candidate for finishing this thing is a body repair man, because getting all of those compound curves smooth is going to take an expert...
