KRviator
Well Known Member
I don't think I've seen this mentioned before, but I got bored today and googled my username to see what would come up. Flipping through the usual things, I find someone has registered on the Apple forums as yours truly, but then I stumbled on this website. It has a photo of my -9, knocked off from my build thread here on VAF, as well as a link back to it.
I'm not sure what to make of it, the concept seems to be a good idea, as it says, it is intended to be an encyclopaedia of home built planes, whereas here we just have RV's, KRNet has the KR1/2, etc. So it is a central place to search for just about anything.
What I am a little concerned about is the outright naming of the builders. In my case, since I haven't listed my name here on the thread, it names me as KRviator, but others have their details listed. No doubt, they've been harvested from information that was publicly available at one stage, but if you decide a bit of anonymity is a good idea and hide your details here, there is no guarantee this new site will do the same.
Food for thought, anyway.
