Kitfoxers,

Just a quick note to let you all know about a new Kitfox forum I've started with some different features than are offered here on this list. Please consider taking a minute to check it out... www.teamkitfox.com
In the interest of building an enhanced online community I'd appreciate your feedback on features you'd like to see.

I like the web page look, but I really think this could be incorporated into the existing forum. It is the knowledge and experiences of builders and flyers that make this forum so powerful. Besides it takes money and personal time to run a forum so why duplicate efforts. I am not building at present but I really want to know our list be around in 5 years. Maybe you should talk with Matt Dralle off line.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for your comments. Having been a long time RV builder and user of the www.vansairforce.net forums I know that the vBulletin forum platform has some significant features that enhance the user experience. Yes, it is different, but once you get your routine down with forum and thread subscriptions I think you'll find it to be a better tool. Also, and this is a biggie, I have it set up to allow pictures to be embedded right in the messages (although limited in size to 640 x 640 pixels). Most folks have digital cameras these days, and we all know that one picture is worth a thousand words, yet most folks also don't have their own web sites for posting pics. Therefore simply putting a copy in your message is powerful indeed. If you check around the web you'll see that all the truly state-of-the art communities use vbulletin or something equivalent.

Several years ago the RV community went through this exact transition and there were a few who didn't understand or support the idea, but over time the bulk of the community did and never looked back.

Of course I am just providing an alternative, users are free to go where they like, but you have my commitment to develop TeamKitfox.com into a truly valuable tool for the community. As an EAA Chapter president, Technical Counselor, Flight Advisor, and two time RV builder I am in it for the long run.

Cheers,
Randy

OK Randy, as you well know I can't pull this message back. But I also can't, in good conscience, allow you to attempt to secure Matt's market. After all, like you, he puts a lot of work into this list, wants it to work, and wants membership. Please desist from marketing your site as a competitive product on this list.

Thanks,

Rick, Good Luck with the web page. This one works pretty well. I am also interested in RV's but to me Van's Airforce web is too complex. Us Kitfoxers are simple folk. Hell, Lynn and Deke up in MI still use Kerosene powered computers and I think Noel and Dave in Canada are running wood fired MACs. We don't mind hitting the keyboard 2 or 3 times to get info, but, Damn it, that's it!

I'm gonna trade my kerosene Mac in on a corn-powered Mac as soon as
they can down-grade to that technology.

I had you figured for a hybrid mac - corn/and solar. That way you can use the fast lane free. Oh well, keep peddling.
