Well, I really had no intention of doing it, just going to Sun 'N Fun with
my family to enjoy the world of aviation and some hanger flying.  Must have
been the Sun 'N Heat in combination with the smell of burning Castrol oil
from the WWI Spad!  Or possibly the beautiful lines and throaty sound of the
of the L2K!  Face it, I sat in it and the "new plane smell" permeated my
brain, changed forever as it were, and I reached for my check book and
placed a deposit.

Actually, all BS/semantics aside, I realized that I was one of the lonely
owners of the tri-split kit.  MKII HS/elevator/trim tab complete and resting
in the cradle; the incomplete vertical stab hanging on the garage wall as a
reminder of what could be; no more parts in hand; and nothing else to work
on (lest I start sanding on the HS).  So, there you have it.  Either convert
my carbon fiber MKII HS to a fancy black surfboard, or get on with the
program and commit to putting it on a L2K, especially since it is the only
part that will fit.  Most of you probably know that the 320/360 is not being
produced anymore, thus basically eliminating that option (order the
remaining 2 parts of the tri-split, wings and fuselage).  I like to
optimistically think that my procrastination may ultimately turn out to be a
good thing ...

Anyway, Marv and I were talking at the Lancair crawfish boil during Sun 'N
Fun, and he suggested that the L2K builders (depositors I should say) begin
some dialogue and start thinking ahead about "fast packs".  For now at
least, I'm curious as to how many L2K depositors are out there in LML land -
please respond if you don't mind ...???
