Very sad. Based on the article he sounds like a real nice guy. One positive aspect of the article was that it was well written and accurate as to the details of the gyro and didn't talk negatively about general aviation or security or anything. That's refreshing these days. Still, the basic point is that it's sad to see an innovator and true home-builder like him go.>From: "Oscar Zuniga" >Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com, krnet(at)mylist.net>Subject: Pietenpol-List: fatal gyro crash>Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2005 10:12:49 -0600>>>>Texas architect Ken Rehler fatally crashed in his award-winning gyro, >N100KR.
