Default 787 !


I did finally notice my error and got one crappy shot off before she
disappeared behind the trees. Lens (Bigma) wide open at f/6.7 and
1/90 sec - only the Maxxum's anti-shake kept this from being a
completely 787-shaped blur.

I'll keep trying...

And with that zig-zaggy thing going on at the back of the fan shroud,
I bet she'd make a grand orange juicer! (if you don't mind waiting
two years for a $250,000 glass of OJ...)

Quoting Doug:

"This is a highly modified "KR-2S" The KR series began in the '70s by
Ken Rand at a company called Rand Robinson Engineering. The "2" stands for
"two place" -- which this one is not. The "S" stands for the stretched
version of the original KR-2. The "S" model is also beefed up to carry
larger engines, and is stressed to 7.5 g's positive and negative."
