Message-ID: <20000519.075711.-449585.0.idrawtobuild@juno.com> Jeremy I drew the second set of plans for the KR-1 back in 1973. I had a lot of conversations with Ken and I don't recall any VNe speeds over 200 mph. He never separated the tail from the rest of the plan. He always kept the entire package together. I would say from the sound of your description about the ability for this plan to cruise at the higher speeds. I would engineer the design for the higher speeds. Just making the front and rear spars into a truss would increase the stress that it is capable of handling would be increased by 35% with little trouble. Just a suggestion.

Most cheap digital cameras are good enough for "snapshots" unless you require very sharp details. (Of course you will not get sharp details over the internet at 72 DPI) This (72 DPI JPEG) (semi-) standard is used because it loads quickly, You can use a larger file 2-300 DPI if you wish, but it will take much longer to "open" on your web page. If you are willing to invest $7-800 on a "prosumer" level camera, we use an Olympus 2020 in our studio. It makes very sharp, clear 8X10's that can't be differentiated from the images we create with film. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 May 2000 10:21:43 EDT To: krnet@mailinglists.org From: HAshraf@aol.com Subject: Re: KR> Re: Camera Message-ID: In a message dated 5/19/00 6:09:19 AM US Mountain Standard Time, UncleLeon@aol.com writes: << From a Certified Professional Photographer: To make pictures for the internet (72 DPI), almost anything will do.

When I visit KR web sites I see some small images which take a lot of memory, making download very slows. I have to admit that I am guilty of that too an now in process of further compressing all the image on my web site. I am also going to reduce and crop some 640x480 images to smaller sizes. Haris ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 May 2000 10:07:40 -0500 To: From: "Mark Langford" Subject: Re: KR> Re: Camera Message-ID: <000b01bfc1a3$fb0fa600$58e6a58c@tbe.com> I use a nifty tool named CyberView (http://www.cyberviewcd.com/cvimage/index.html) that displays the image in two side by side panes. You slide a little slider to the right and watch the image degrade (and the file size plummet) until you get to a level you can afford and save it. It's amazing how much compression you can do before there's any real difference in image quality, depending on where you start from. I have a directory I named "shrinker" that I put all of the output in, which I then send to my website for inclusion into a web page. I use PaintShopPro (available from www.shareware.com last time I checked) to crop and resize images before I compress them. It will also compress them, but it's trial and error to see the result. PaintShopPro is the undisputed leader in shareware image modification, and you can't beat Cyberview for compressing files with visible results. And yes, 72 dpi is what all of my images are, and they seem to work just fine...

I have looked at a lot of homebuilts and I like the KRs. I got my pilot license and I want to build and fly my own plane. The information about building, etc is very important to me, even if I'm not on the net all the time asking questions. There are a lot of things that might be old to someone who's been following RR a few years that are important and unknown to us who just got here. Sure would like to see some of that on the web. BTW: sure enjoyed the discussions on cameras - we just got a new computer and will use some of that info. THanks. I will probably build a by-the-plans KR1 with VW as simple as I can get it. Maybe buy one. Saw an ad for one that looks good in No TX.Also let me recommend the Cozy Net. It has a tremendous amount of exceptional information that can be very valuable to any builder, but especially composites. Don't know the address, but it is easy to find. Meanwhile, I really enjoy the conversations and I'll try to be more concise if I feel my 2cents is called for again. Really enjoy all the great KR websites too!

In my opinion, you've done a hell of a job in providing others valuable info on KR's and certainly most would feel a loss without your knowledge and input..
