2016-02-02 Thread John Martindale
Well I never realised that. Are the KR2S wings also longer than the KR2?

...sheep shears..

I wasn't brave enough to say it without checking, but they are 
Different.The KR2 ...which gave the spars three degrees of
forward sweep.
The KR2S uses only two different aft fittings... which yields 6 degrees
of sweep...

KR> Random thoughts about techknowlegy in an airplane

2016-02-02 Thread Dave Acklam
Just a thought on WIFI 'confusion'...

Would it make sense to have a WiFi AP in your plane (run an infrastructure
network vs ad-hoc), if you have lots of WIFI stuff bouncing around, as
opposed to using ad-hoc WiFi?

That might help get some of the RF chaos under control...
