I know that our members are not inconsiderate or thoughtless, so it must be that they are merely uninformed. So I offer the following assistance: We all use different email applications, and sure enough, we can usually dig around long enough to figure out the originator's email address. Personally I use Outlook Express. It's free and comes with Microsoft Explorer 5 and works just great. But if I hit "reply" to a message it goes back to KRNet, not to the originator of the post. To get the originator's email address, I have to right click on the post, pick "properties" and under the "details" tab I'll find a page of computer garbarge that will eventually reveal the sender's address (after a diligent search). On the other hand, if the sender had set up his "signature" to automatically add his name, email address, and global location (address) to the bottom of each email, I wouldn't have to do that. And once the originator spent that few minutes creating his signature, he would never have to mess with it again either. There are also settings which enable including the original post in the reply. If you set it up that way, all you have to do is delete most of the original message, leaving just enough there to remind us what it is you're replying to (or WHO had the 29 gallons of fuel), and add your comments below. Cutting and pasting is also apparently something we're not getting the grasp of. The following is true for most Windows compatible applications. Using the mouse put the cursor to the left of a sentence. Press the left mouse button and slide the cursor to the right while the button is pressed and the text will turn blue (or otherwise highlight somehow). When you've got it all highlighted, release the left mouse button and press the Control (Ctrl) key and the C key at the same time (Ctrl + C) to copy it. Move the cursor somewhere else and use Ctrl + V to insert the copied text. Ctrl + X "cuts" or deletes highlighted text (or once highlighted, the delete key will delete it). If you can build an airplane, you can probably do this. I know that when you're reading your email and simply respond "I agree with you with Mike, you're dead on, buddy" that you know exactly what you're replying to, but the rest of us are probably clueless, since we read Mikes's original post hours or days ago. Again, this is a setting that some email applications allow you to set up either way. It's possible that the worst offenders have theirs set so that replies "nest" themselves under the original post (like News readers do), which would explain why they see no problem with it. Mine is set up (and it's the default) so that email stacks up as it comes in, unrelated to other previous posts. I like it this way, because I don't ever miss anything. If I had it set up the other way, new comments to older mail would float so far up the list I'd never notice it. For some reason I'd like to think that I've at least started to read every message ever sent to KRNet, even if I don't remember them a few minutes later. I realize that applications are different (and if it's text based, you have my condolences), and that these rules are different for each application. I only ask that you spend a few minutes clicking on every single button in your email application, and figure out how to keep from inconveniencing 450 people every time you post to KRNet. I will now receive several private messages that I should "take a break", "get the digest" or just "chill out" for a while. But I would like to think that my bitch sessions are at least partly responsible for keeping KRNet the kind of high quality list that it really is. For those who didn't take the hint from this, next week we'll cover how to unplug your modem from the wall...

As I understand it, > this may be the case with Troy's bird and he used > the 5046. Correct?? The AS5046 is the one to use for stock spars. Same planform, same aft spar height (3.93", main spar grows slightly to 7.32"), but stock height spars will work fine. Troy loves the new wing and can't say enough about how much better his plane flies, even though the CG is unchanged. Better in all respects, same stall speed, higher top speed, gentle stall. He'll have much more to say at the Gathering, as he gets more time in . He has a 2180 Revmaster, more or less. No GPASC rear drive units had been sold as of August, so none have been installed. The sketch of the bottom of the fuselage (and how it would need to change) and the AS5048 wing (which I'd recommend) is at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/48_fuse.jpg and shows the main spar heights for the AS5048 airfoil as well. I tried to send this directly to you, but it came back undeliverable. Are you sure your "reply to" address is correct?

Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 08:52:52 +0100 X-Message-Number: 27 Mike and Haris, I was off for a day. Thanks for your answers. In France the kits were certified for only 50 hours! You can imagine a guy who spends more than US$120,000 for a Lancair and he could fly it only for 50 hours!!! Now it changes and there is a new (European) kit certification but the things are not yet very clear. Mike, thanks a lot for your proposal. I will call DGAC and I will see if I could use some brackets "born in USA" (there is also the French customs problem). So, I have to see which is the best solution for me - the all composite or the composite/metal gear.
