Paypal.com I think > is one of them... Darren, The KRNet list donations are made directly to the organization that actually provides the list hosting (mailinglists.org). Actual donations are made at http://www.mailinglists.org/donations.html , which does indeed do Paypal. These donations makes the guy (Alan) who runs this service just barely happy enough to keep this thing going as inexpensively, effectively, and efficiently as he does, with no advertising or other painful information gathering tactics going on in the background. I'd much rather pay a few dollars a year for a nice clean service like this than suffer through a littany of unending banner ads and other crap that keeps popping up on my screen. It might be noted that this list cost exactly $10 to set up in the beginning, with a hundred dollar per year fee, but that was then waived in lieu of voluntary donations sent to the web page above. Since we have 600 members, I'd think that if everybody sent him a dollar he'd be quite happy, but since only one out of ten is decent enough to actually do that, the rest of us should probably send him $5 or so. Just to show you how wierd I am, I'm the one who asked him to put his snail mail address on that site for those of us who don't trust establishments like Paypal. Signing up for Paypal is just short of an inquisition, and you can bet that all of that information they gather is sold to somebody either now or will be later. When I mail a letter with a check in it, nobody makes me fill out three pages of personal information, so I prefer to mail checks or bank checks. To each his own, I guess. And Paypal skims 3% off the top of every transaction that goes through, which I think is way too much (kinda like Visa\Mastercard, but I'll confess to using IT). If you ever forget where to make KRNet donations, this link is just about in the center of my KR2S web page at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford , along with some other stuff that people are always looking for and can't seem to find. Donations for Ross Youngblood's KRNet website at http://www.krnet.org/ can be made on the site itself (you can't miss the KA-CHING sound of $$$$$ on THAT site!), although some might wonder what this particular site does for the actual list, other than provide a pointer to it, and an abundance of dead links...

Mark, He said a "GOOD" home! Actually, that sounds great to me. Maybe there could be some cooperative effort to spruce things up a bit, with lots of folks contributing new stuff, and Mark tying it all together however he sees fit (with endless suggestions from the rest of us, of course). Something like the KROnline articles that Randy and several of the KRNet oldtimers did several years ago (see the middle of http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford for those excellent issues). I don't know what Ross asked me if I wanted to take over, but I've become way too selfish with my time to take on another job like that one. There's a lot of potential there though, and I'd love to see something done with it. Sorry about the jab, Ross, but I'm famous for my brutal frankness, especially at work. I suppose if KRNet goes to another "keeper", it could easily go to another ISP as well. I don't know what everybody has in mind, but I'll volunteer that hiwaay.net has virtually unlimited diskspace (I'm using over 250Mb at the moment) for $19.95 a month, and I've never known it to be down, inacessible, or slow. So that's always an option, but administration would have to be done by somebody with LAN access, since the only "foreign" dialup access is an 800 number for $8 an hour. Just a thought, and I think Mark has LAN access anyway. I'm sure there are other options as well, but I'd love to stay away from advertising, if possible. On other matters, I just welded my 4130 lower gear bracket gussets in place, and I hereby declare that I can WELD! They aren't perfectly beautiful, but I assure you they are good welds. I'll have them magnafluxed at work on Monday just for kicks. Speaking of work, we've built a portable waterjet cutter for "a very large metropolitan city" bomb squad, and spent the day cutting up car doors from the junkyard for entertainment. Yesterday we sawed through a piece of 4130 an inch thick just for good measure. Life is good...

No, KRNet isn't going away. The actual list service is provided by www.mailinglists.org, and unless the place goes out of business or something, we don't have a problem. Even if it does, another list would be up and running in a matter of hours somewhere else, although everybody would have to figure that out and resubscribe. It's very easy to set up a new list these days, but it's hard to find one as cheap as mailinglists.org without having to put up with a bunch of advertising or clandestine information gathering. The issue with Ross's www.krnet.org web page is an entirely different matter which Mark Jones has volunteered to work on. Speaking of Mark, while I'd love to see him take the bull by the horns and get krnet.org oiled and running again, I'd hate to see it cut into several months of his building time. He just insulated his garage so he could work through the winter so he could make some real progress this year. Revamping krnet.org can take a helluva lot of time, especially if one guy has to do it all. If he doesn't get some serious assistance from some of the guys who have the ability to help, I don't think we ought to expect him to drop his project and jump on this. The reason I haven't volunteered for this job is, why do I need ANOTHER web page to maintain? The one I have keeps me away from building my plane as it is. Now when I get finished I'll be a lot less selfish with my time, but for now I only have one goal in mind, finishing my plane! I hope some folks will step up to the plate and volunteer to help Mark out here. There are a lot of good ideas out there, like the map US builders map (which could cover the whole world) and a better archive search system that goes back to day one. Let's have a little help here...

When he wrecked his during an emergency landing, it ripped off a half inch gear leg and broke it, but the mount was unscatthed. I call that "crash tested", and consider it good enough. That's not an engineering analysis, but it would be good enough for me. I you put 6" wheels and tires on a KR, it's going to look like a Sherpa with tundra tires. Even 5.00 x 5 tires are huge (ask me how I know) looking on a KR, which is why I went with the "standard" 11 x 4.00 x 5 Shin/Lamb tires on mine, even though I intend to spend a fair amount of time on a sod strip.

For a lack of options, I currently am planning on purchasing and ground testing an Aero Carb in the next week or so on our Corvair powered KR-2S (not ready for flight yet). Any comments postive or negitive will be welcomed Does anybody have a suggestion on throat size..35mm or 38 mm are the choices. I am also designing and building a standard engine mount for a Corvair that will allow the engine to be adjusted forward and backward up to 4" to acomidate ajustments for the weight & balance. If there is enough interest in them I will take the time to build a jig. Then my fab shop could build as many mounts as nec. http://jillenium.members.easyspace.com Bill Tabbert >From: "Daniel Heath" >To: , >Subject: Re: KR> progress posa >Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2001 06:55:59 -0500 > >Speaking of carburetors.....
