As I mentioned some planes just became a memory. To use an example of this. I
use the Charles Fauvel designs. Charles may not even be known by anyone in
this group, but I believe he should be known by everyone. He was a French man
that designed many different flying wings. Some sailplanes, some powered
planes. The most popular is a sailplane that a few were built by homebuilders.
I have searched high and low for ANY construction drawings for a Fauvel
design...ANY of his designs. Surely one mans lifetime of work has to leave a
paper trail somewhere. I found the paper trail ended when he died and his
SENTIMENTAL spouse burned EVERYTHING having to do with his lifetime of work.
....won't happen with the KR design as there are a huge # of drawings out
there, but just goes to show you how much true $$ value sentimental has.

OK Guys,
Your flattering yourselves to think no one has thought of that or
tried it before and it apparently is not in the cards for now and may
never be. You certainly are not taking into consideration any sentimental
value that this airplane design has to Mrs. Robinson.
A little less typing and a little more discretion may be in order
here.
