As Jeff Scott expressed, Bob was one of the good guys. Bob helped me with the nine Gatherings at Mt. Vernon by hosting the KR Gathering web page. He was always Johnny on the spot in responding to my request to post updates to the site and made all the changes requested. I don't ever

Hello Hennie, You don't have to put that engine in a KR. If that opportunity came my way, I would take advantage of it even if I did not have a use for the engine. There is certain to be an opportunity for some old-fashioned horse trading somewhere along the line... Chris On 5/8/2014 11:42

The longer the prop the better climb performance of the aircraft.The magic of prop science never seems clear.That maybe why we call it EXPERIMENTAL.And yes I do learn a lot from it.Tommy W. On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 12:12 PM, Randall Smith via KRnet < krnet at list.krnet.org> wrote: > Every prop I

Hi again KRNetters, Does anyone perhaps have a link available of any more detail on how to make these: http://www.love4aviation.com/DYNAERO/Technologyindex/Wing+Design/Pilots-June+2003.html I can come up with a rough idea, but I'm sure there is a better way. How is the forward airfoil of the
