Dear Scott;
I own plans, am restoring from different editions, adding subsequuent
add-ons and am new to KRNet. We appreciate your expert input, especially
being from Boeing
design group. Please don't let this minor incident push you
away from the many appreciative and polite users of this
excellent group. And please have a little patience from those of us who on
occasion get a little out of line, in your
estimation. We will try harder I promise you and the rest of the group. So
please please accept my sincere apoligies for any rudeness you may have
interpeted from
myself.

I have, in fact eaten my share of "Humble Pie" on this one, and you making
further comments such as below is likened to rubbing salt into a wound. The
majority of the commenters had taken my original comments to Mac, out of
context.--Which is the only reason why I apologized to begin with.

admits that his English is: (and I quote him) "horrible". So if he knows he
has a problem, an educated person would compensate by utilizing tools at his
easy disposal. Right ?

regular basis that everyone on the Net must take time to read, re-read, and
decipher someone's hiroglyphic messages? meaning that that person's time is
more important than someone else's?

maybe you then should just "FALL OUT".

real aircraft to design and build.
