Phil, Thank you for your response. I have been monitoring the KRNET for a little while and I have noticed that all of you seem eager to share your knowledge and hard earned wisdom with strangers such as myself. It is a great resource for people building or considering building a KR. While I have seen much discussion of the flying qualities of KR's and they have been very informative, I have not however been able to get a good feel for such things as passenger comfort in a widened KR , and actual usefulness of the aircraft for more than local flying. Since my wife will be flying with me and she is not as in love with flight as I am ( read that she gets airsick, thank God for ziploc bags ) these types of things are of great concern to me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Matheson" <mathes...@dodo.com.au> To: "KRnet" <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 7:22 PM Subject: Re: KR> Kr2s building advice
