KR> Engine Failure on Take OFF.

2011-09-26 Thread Dan Heath 
Brian,  I am sure that you can if you want to.  However, I will bet that you
will spend more money and time than you would by putting on a Diehl gear.
And if you did make the mods, when would you have enough confidence in it?
Also, if your gear fails, how much money and time will you lose?

I believe this has been tried several times before, but I don't remember
seeing any at the KR Gathering.

See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics 
See you at the 2011 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il - MVN
There is a time for building and it never seems to end.

Well, it can happen to you.

Last night 1730 at 500 ft Engine stopped dead. Lack of landing spots. Had to
make 150' turn to safe ground.

Check, tanks pumps NO start, but engine wind milling. A bit hot and ran out

Bugger.

Walked away. KR home in my workshop.

Damage,
Prop, nose wheel collapse, L main collapse. Under inner wing whole from
wheel. But main leg undamaged, the main bolts Sheared OFF, as did the nose
wheel to fire wall bolts. NO cowl damage only paint. Engine mount bent.  

FOUND the cause this morning, the coil lead came out of the distributor Cap.

KR> Kr-2 Project For Sale

2011-09-26 Thread kr1pi...@aol.com 
To KR Knetters,

Health matters have dictated an end to my dream.. I have a KR-2 In canoe  
form with wing stubs attached and sitting on original KR retractable landing  
gear. Vertical and horizontal tail feathers are attached and front and rear 
wing  spars have been built but not attached.

I have the original nose cowling, canopy. Needs a turtle deck  built.

Along with the project I have (2) 66 110hp corvair engines to go along with 
 the project. (1) engine is in the tear down stage and the other is 
complete and  not been taken apart... I will sell the engines separate of the 
KR-2  
but I would like to sell the engines together.

I am not parting out pieces off the project so please don't ask.

Feel free to E-Mail Paul @  _Kr1pilot@aol.com_ (mailto:kr1pi...@aol.com) 

The project is located in Lakeland Florida..

Regards,

Paul

KR> Need a Nose wheel assy

2011-09-26 Thread Brian G Douglas 


Hi KR world.
  Help! I need a Diehl nose landing gear assy.  I would also like the wheel and 
tire and tube assy.  But the big thing that I need is the nose assy.  This is 
the last part that i need to finish my airplane before I get the DAR to 
inspect.  
  The assy that I have now is like the RV series and I can't get the shimmy out 
of it.

So If any one can help me please contact me off KR line.  I live in Killeen 
Texas and will entertain any offers

Thanks in advance

I have just updated my website with a few more pics.
We are using an Emeraude canopy for extra headroom. But I had to modify the
turtle deck to give it a more organic shape.
Used Mark L's method for making tail access cover, worked a treat!

I am still getting nowhere with obtaining some stress analysis calcs on the
