KR> KR1/KR100?????whats the difference?

[Global Solutions]

Good day list this is my first post to the group.

I ordered the plans for the KR1 and after reading the list I learned of 
the KR-100. Both are one person airplanes but the 100 seems to have 
better specs as far as speed goes.
What I have to work with is a 85 hp Corvair engine or a VW bus engine 
18xx cc.
Can anyone here shed some light on to the pros or cons of the KR1 VS the 
KR 100 and what changed from the KR1 to the KR 100? Does anyone have the 
plans for the KR 100
Thanks for your help
Regards
Stan

Thanks Mark!
If you where making a KR1 would you use a hopped up VW or the 110 hp 
Corvair?

I was reading Marks website and tried to follow the link for Slipstream 
Industries But they don't list Dragonfly 
canopies anymore and the site says that the  New owner is -

However they too apear to be out of business. Therefore where can I get

pressurize the tank to 2 lbs or so and see if the gauge drops.
To much pressure and you will distort the tank or better still blow it up :)

KR> Save the Edmonton City Center Airport

[Global Solutions]

Good Morning.
I would like to seek your assistance in saving the Edmonton City Center 
airport. I am aware that the airport is closed but would like to ask 
your assistance by signing the petition, the link of which is at the 
bottom of this I have attached a list of legal reasons why the airport 
decision should be reversed. The decision can be reversed legally and we 
can save the airport even though it has been closed and some of the 
runway removed. The reasons are simple.

1.The government, both Federally and Provincially as well as locally as 
a duty to public safety and well being. By first closing the airports 
only ILS runway they removed a safety net for aircraft which could make 
use of the system in bad weather. This ILS system could be used by both 
conventional pilots as well as Medivac flights in an emergency. Secondly 
they closed the remaining runway which put anyone in a flight emergency 
at risk (low fuel or aircraft malfunction which put passengers and 
flight crew of any aircraft en-route to another location at risk but 
more importantly anyone in need of medical assistance/care could have 
had quick access to medical services without the added driving delays 
from going from the international airport. The idea of using slower 
helicopters which are not permitted to fly in icy conditions is a bad 
decision. The travel time by road is also not a good alternative due to 
the time delay in getting from the international airport to Edmonton is 
at least 45 min in good weather and increases with winter or rain 
conditions which may even close sections of the road or have delays 
because of an automotive accident that happened before or during the 
road trip to the medical facilities located within Edmonton.

2 We know that 737 aircraft have traveled into the City Center Airport 
in the past and therefore placing a 10 seat limit on any aircraft making 
use of the City Center Airport was a deliberate ploy to reduce the 
number of aircraft that could make use of the airport. This again caused 
travelers to incur additional travel times from the international 
airport and in many cases even increased expenditures by those wishing 
to make use of the airport and in many cases the trips are now canceled 
or driven by road which further decreased revenue into the City Center 
Airport as well as Edmonton.

3. Edmonton used to have easy access to bus terminal/tax and train 
systems within walking distance of the airport and again these other 
businesses were moved to other locations which would decrease the 
convenience of the airport.

4. The Edmonton Airport Authority is involved in the re-development of 
the airport which is not it's mandate. The airport authority is working 
with other airports and some of the people involved are also working in 
land development or working with those who are which is a conflict of 
interest and some other airports have also suffered reduced use and or 
closure by the same tactics outlined here.


5. It has been stated that the property in part that is / was the City 
Center Airport was the "Hangman Farm" and the property was acquired by 
seizing it for back owed taxes. Other reports states that that area of 
land was given to the city from the Hudson's Bay Company and therefore 
although the city may in fact currently be the holder of the property. 
The property was once used as a Military Bases during the war and is a 
key element in the history of the war and in Canada having been the 
first licensed "airport" in Canada. Other lands around the area were 
expropriated to allow the airport to expand. Typically these lands are 
to be returned to the family when the land use is no longer required, 
and therefore the land in and around may in fact not all belong to the city.

6. Various statutes require that the people have a vote as to the use of 
"public" assets due to the fact that the city gains all of its revenue 
by way of the people, without taxes and fee based use the city would 
have no money in which to operate. The city did a vote in the past and 
the vote according to the records was in favor of keeping the airport 
open for public use as well as to meet the medical needs of the people. 
When a second vote was put forth in 2009 city officials or Airport 
Authorities removed some names who were in favor of the airport 
remaining in service in order to skew the vote.

7. The city, and more importantly the Federal Government, have the 
ability to expropriate land if it is in the best interest of the 
public's safety and wellbeing. Look at the ring road that goes around 
Edmonton, similar roads are used around most cities in Canada. A ring 
road is far less important than an airport which is within 5 min of a 
medical center and I would state that increasing the travel time to an 
airport in an emergency medical situation is not in the best interest of 
the public.

8. Airports unless private are airports to which everyone has a right to 
use, therefore EV

KR> Fuel tank pressure test

[Global Solutions]

To pressure test a tank you use a pressure gauge connected to a T 
fitting screwed in to the tank.
One of the T connections to the tank
Another to the pressure gauge
The third to the valve
Open the valve to allow air to go in to the tank
Close the valve and make sure the pressure doesnt drop after a set time 
say 24 hours.
Open valve to vent the tank and then unscrew the T.
Use same process for other tanks.

KR> Carb Recommendation

[Global Solutions]

Good Evening fellow Kr People.
Last week I had the pleasure of going for a ride in a KR2S aircraft at 
the Oshawa airport. Upon inspection of the aircraft which was built and 
flown by /Chris Gardiner. /His craftsmanship and attention to detail 
gave me KR fever.
His aircraft was a solid well build VW powered aircraft. I am now 
looking at carburetors for my 110 hp engine which currently is in a car.
 From the reading and talking to others it would seem that several carbs 
are an option and as such I would ask that anyone who has tested them 
give me and the list some feedback as to the experience good or bad with 
the following list or any others that have been tested.

Marvel MA3-SPA

KR> Comparison of Carbon Fiber, Kevlar (Aramid) and E Glass used in Composites for Boat building.

[Global Solutions]

Although this is for boats I thought it might be of interest to the list 
for aircraft

*
Comparison of Carbon Fiber, Kevlar (Aramid) and E Glass used in 
Composites for Boatbuilding.*

*For more detailed description of the characteristics of Kevlar and 
Carbon Fiber follow the links at the top.*

*Epoxy*

Your can't talk about composite fibers without introducing epoxy. Epoxy 
is used to bind whatever strengthening fiber is being used and to lock 
them in position so they can stay in position to do their job. Fiber 
reinforced structures usually have the fibers running in specific 
directions to focus the reinforcement where it is needed and the epoxy 
keeps the fibers where they are needed. Although the main purpose of the 
epoxy matrix is to adhere to and transfer the loads to the fibers it is 
a strong material in its own right. It helps protect the fibers from 
damage and provides impact resistance.

Polyepoxide or as it is better known Epoxy, is a thermosetting network 
polymer which forms when an epoxyide resin reacts with a polyamine 
hardener. The resulting Epoxy polymer is heavily cross linked 
(networked), and thus strong, hard and rigid. It is also somewhat brittle.

Epoxy has found a wide range of applications, including fiber-reinforced 
plastic materials, general purpose adhesives and strong chemically 
resistant coatings and finishes.

Although epoxy bond mechanically if the surfaces are rough, the 
strongest bond is by far an ionic bond with its reinforcing fibers. 
That's why not all fibres are suitable as epoxy composite. The epoxy 
simply does not stick to everything.

Epoxy has proved to be a relatively safe material. The main risk 
associated with epoxy use is sensitization to the hardener which can 
result in serious allergic reactions, which can occur even after a few 
days. This can become asthma in sensitive individuals. Bisphenol A, 
which is used in epoxy resin, is a known endocrine disruptor.

It's always better to protect yourself by working with gloves and at the 
very least have a well ventilated area. Respirators are helpful if you 
have a tendency to react to chemicals.

Cured Epoxy is very resistant but will degrade if exposed to UV. The 
surface becomes chalky and looses strength. For this reason it needs to 
be coated with UV protection. Epoxy strength is degraded when exposed to 
higher temperatures. Over 350 ?F (177 ?C).

**

*Tensile Strength*

*Tensile Strength*

Tensile Strength is the maximum stress that a material can withstand, 
while being stretched, before if fails. Some non brittle material 
distorts before breaking, but Kevlar, Carbon Fiber and E glass are 
brittle and fail with almost no distortion. It is measured in Force per 
unit area: Pa or Pascals. Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) or ultimate 
strength are terms also used.

Stress is the force, strain is the deflection due to stress.

*Comparing the Tensile Strength of
E Glass, Carbon Fiber and Kevlar (Aramid) MPa*

Note: These figures are for comparison purpose. They can vary with the 
manufacturing process, composition of the epoxy, formulation of the 
aramid, precursor fibre for the Carbon fiber.



Fibre Strength



Laminate Strength

E Glass



3450



1500

Carbon Fiber



4127



1600

Kevlar



2757



1430

Epoxy



N/A



12-40

The tensile strength of Carbon Fiber, Kevlar and Glass is similar. This 
comes as quite a surprise to many people.

When making comparisons it's important to note that there are 
differences in each of the materials in manufacturing processes, 
precursor materials, and after-treatments. These all influence the 
strength. The figures are given for comparison only, The figures given 
in this article mostly come from Wikipedia and from the spec sheets of 
manufacturing companies.

In the end if *Tensile Strength* is your only concern, use e glass.

**

**

**

**

*Density and Strength to Weight Ratio*

*Weight per Unit Volume or Density of Carbon fibre, Kevlar, and E Glass*

The Denser a material is the heavier it will feel for an equal sized chunk.

When we compare the density of our 3 materials we see a significant 
difference. If we make up 3 samples exactly the same size and weight 
them we quickly see that Kevlar fiber is much lighter, Carbon Fibre is 
next and the E Glass is the heaviest. So for the same weight of 
composite we get more strength.

In other words, any structure where we require a given strength can be 
smaller, or thinner if made out of carbon fiber or Kevlar composite than 
if made out of glass.

If you wanted to do this comparison for yourself you could prepare 3 
samples of exactly the same size. After weighting them you would then 
test them for strength.

Once you looked at your results you would see that the strength of the 3 
samples is about the same. You would also find that the Glass composite 
is almost twice as heavy as the Kevlar or the Carbon Fiber Laminates. In 
other words it takes half as much Carbon or Aramid fiber to get the same 

KR> Fuel tank pressure test

[Global Solutions]

Yes you use a regulator on the air line or use a hand pump or be quick 
on the disconnect.
Your air compressor may have 150 lbs in the tank but you can still 
manage to fill a tire with 35. You would only need 2 lbs air to test the 
tank and if  your in a hurry to do a bunch you could put the tank under 
test in a tank of water and look for bubbles.
As already pointed out the balloon idea will change pressure with 
temperature and there really is no way to know if it truly is as large 
as it was 2 hours before. The gauge method I wrote on however is 
accurate as the gauge doesn't lye.

Stan

stated that the carb seems to be more efficient then the others which I 
had listed.
Some of the other manufactures you have to change crap on the carb for 
the Corvair and some wont tell you a thing seeing as the Corvair is not 
"Aircraft" certified.
Certified stuff can crap out just like anything else.

Stan

KR> major change or minor change

[Global Solutions]

Comes down to weight and balance. Mark did some mods to his corvair 
aircraft and gained about 10 hp. On the other hand you could compare a 
VW powered KR2s  vs on powered by a  corvair and the weight difference 
is offset by the increase in power and the fact that your not working 
the larger engine as hard therefore the reliability should go up. With 
the corvair engine hower you have to worry about the crank breaking. THe 
crank issue however has been resolved with the new 4130 crank.

KR> Kr2s Engine?

[Global Solutions]

Recently I noted a video on youtube where a guy has an o200 in his 
aircraft and he does a take off and short flight and lands. Located 
here->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP5Uu7pSmqc

I asked him about the speeds and he has indicated that they are as follows->
Propeller warp drive 70 inch with very step -2100 RPM ground - 2,750 max 
in flight Economic cruise cruise 200 kmh -2200 RPM 17 liters now. 
Maximum speed of this propeller configuration with 270 kmh

Therefore I am wonder if the Corvair isnt the better choice based on 
Mark Landfords spec which are;
# Fuel capacity: 16 gallons
# Top speed: 191 mph TAS (true airspeed) with 3100cc Corvair engine and 
Sensenich 54x54 prop (turning almost 4000 rpm), 184 mph TAS with 
Sensenich 54x58 (but turning only 3400 rpm, and burning less fuel).
# Fuel consumption: I get 42 mpg while flying at 160 mph TAS at 10,000' 
running "lean of peak", which is how I always fly at altitude.
# Stall speed: 57 mph with split flaps deployed, 62 mph "clean"


Based on the above wouldn't the Corvair seem to be the better choice?
What is the advantage of the o200 vs the Corvair or the Corvair over the 
o200?
What is the time between overhaul on a Corvair?

Thanks

KR> Landing Gear legs

[Global Solutions]

Hi Folks
I was looking in to the landing gear for a Kr2S. The boat is going to be 
6" wider then the stock plans.
I was looking at the NVaero site and they have the castings for the Deli 
gear which because they have no picture I am guessing I would still need 
to make the actual legs. they also do not specify if the castings they 
sell are priced each or for the pair.
I then came across this which is made from Material: 7075-T6 Aluminum
KR2 One Piece Landing Gear
The airport I have access to for the moment is a grass strip and I was 
thinking the aluminum may act as a bit of a shock suppressor and may be 
lighter then the wood/glass that others have used.
Would I be ahead to bend something like this in the press brake or go 
the Deli Gear route?

Also I was thinking of going with MATCO brakes as per NVAERO or am I 
better off with Cleveland or some other brand. I also noted on Mark 
Landfords site that he played with wheel sizes. What is the overall 
consences with respect to tire size?

Thanks
Stan

Another reason not to carry full hull insurance is that if you ever DO
file a claim, you've just marked yourself as somebody who doesn't
hesitate to file a claim, and insurance companies immediately shy away
from such "risks".  Your rates will almost certainly climb
significantly, and you may even become uninsurable!

Also, if you think like I do, if you ever tear your airplane up, you'd
much rather have all the left over parts to build another one than for
the insurance company to haul them all away so you get to start "from
scratch" to build your next one...

There was another airplane that left its tie down spot by itself during
some high winds and damaged the tail of my aircraft.  My insurance
covered it and my rates did not go up.  Granted, this incident had
nothing to do with me as a pilot, so things may be different if you are
found at fault.

If you do have an incident where your aircraft is declared a total loss
with full hull coverage, you generally have the option to negotiate to
keep what's left and take a reduced payoff.

Insurance companies are like any other business, and can't stay in
business if they continually tick off their customers.  Use a quality
insurance broker and your chances of running into the sleazeball
companies is likely to be minimized.  If you are concerned with being
able to keep your airplane after a total loss, talk with them about it
before buying the policy.

Hi Guys,

My son and I are close to finish work on the plane.
I’ve had good experience with Stitts on my Osprey, and some experience with 
Awlgrip/Awlcraft (I really like their ultra-high build primer) on boats.

But I’m looking for advice on something a little less toxic for my son.   
Recommendations?

Does the Stewart System have a high build primer?

Thanks in advance!
Owen

Re: KR> Instrument Panel KR2S

[Global Solutions via KRnet]

Hi Mark.

How thick was the aluminum you used on the panel?

I am now thinking of making mine from AL as well.

Thanks

Stan

I am torturing myself with the decision to build the instrument panel out of 
aluminum or do a layup of glass and foam.

I think you'll find 1/4" plywood will be very heavy by comparison to
aluminum. It all adds up.  N891JF has a seat back made of 1/4" plywood,
and I figure I could save 4.5 pounds by redoing it out of foam and glass
like N56ML's seatback.  A leftover piece of 3/32"  aircraft plywood with
fiberglass on both sides would be much lighter, although could lack the
"structure" to even remain flat, unless you fold the glass over at the
bottom 2"-2" to give the thing something to keep it straight.  This
lower lip also helps to eliminate the cut hazard of the bottom of the
panel, as well as provides a very handy shelf on the forward side to
mount a bunch of stuff that you don't even know you need yet, like a
terminal strip for power and a ground bar for all the ground points to
connect to one place.  And there may be relays, timers, etc. added on
later.

Aluminum is a better choice though, although it is more difficult to
modify later, often requiring a redo.  I had my first panel waterjet
cut, but on N891JF I started with one that I'd previously bent up, cut
it down to shape, and put a layer of carbon fiber on it to make it look
nice.  I doubt that it weighs anywhere near 4 poundsprobably more
like 2 pounds. Adding a lip at the bottom is more problematic with
aluminum, as it requires a bending brake (a sharp corner may simply
break off), but a local sheet metal shop can do that in about 5 minutes,
most of which is setting up the machine with the appropriate radius
dies.  Really, the more radius the better, from a crash protection
standpoint.

See http://www.n56ml.com/n891jf/panel/ for how I made the N891JF panel
with carbon fiber covering.  All holes in the aluminum were drilled or
cut with a jig saw, except the round instrument holes, which were cheap
hole saws from Home Depot (they cut aluminum just fine).  If you ever
want to redo it,  you can make new cutouts and recover with carbon fiber
for a new façade. Another simpler option is to just cut big square
pieces out and install new ones with a different configuration, like the
panel Herbert Furle did on his KR panel, flat panels in aluminum (see
www.krnet.org for that site). See
http://www.krnet.org/krs/hfurle/instruments.jpg. Steve Anderson did a
similar one.  See http://www.krnet.org/krs/sandersen/120604_060.jpg for
that one.  There's a lot of flexibility in this method, especially if
you're not going to have access to the back of the panel!

KR> KR 2 S building question s (2)

[Global Solutions via KRnet]

Hi everyone. I have started to build my KR2s which will be powered by a 
110 Corvair engine. I have glued the longerons and the upright bracing 
in place first. Waited for it to dry and then glued the lower one so no 
stress would be put on the first glue up. Did this for both sides. I 
used a full scale template to do the layout which was drawn in cad and 
printed full scale. My question now is what did everyone find was 
suitable for use as gusset material for the corners (do I need to make 
it larger due to the larger and bigger engine) Secondly seeing as the 
aircraft is now wider due to the engine and cramped passenger bay has 
anyone drawn a full scale pastern or figured out the length and degrees 
for the lower spacers for the bottom of the fuselage? I purchased my 
materials from Wicks Aircraft so I could get 14 foot strips as Aircraft 
Spruce would only provide 12 foot ones at the time.


Thanks for your help.

Regards

Stan

After a long debate with myself, I have decide to move away from the airplane 
projects that I have been trying to get to. I am interested in selling 
everything I have that is Kr related and there is a substantial amount.
I have two projects, one is a Kr2 that is currently registered in Canada and 
that is in process of a total refurbishing so is currently dismantled. This had 
been a flying Kr with 64 hours on it but it ended up sitting as it passed 
through a few owners who did not do anything to it. I have all the paperwork 
right from the build of this airplane. It was an early plans build and came in 
at a bit over 400 lbs. with the retracts.
I also have a Kr project that I picked up in Ohio that is well on the way , 
fuselage tail feathers and wings all done and the workmanship is very nice. I 
do not have any paperwork for this one.
I also have a lot of extra parts , cowlings, turtledecks, fixed gear 
brackets(new) canopy frame , extra center and outer spars, a complete box of 
foam and some engine mounts. There are also a few propellers.
I have a zero time Revmaster R2100D that is complete and ready to install.
Life has taken a few twists lately and so I am just looking to get stuff off my 
plate.
I would prefer to sell this lock, stock and barrel as a package and whoever 
buys it can probably recoup their investment after they decide what they want 
to keep.
At this point I would take $4000.00 Canadian for everything and although I know 
we are struggling with border restrictions, I think it would be possible to 
work around that somehow.

KR> Flight plan software

[Global Solutions via KRnet]

Can anyone provide me an online or offline software link which would 
allow flight planing for long distance trips say from Canada to USA or 
Canada to UK or even within Canada and or the USA, such that you could 
fill out your range and speed information and then your start and end 
points and have the software calculate way-points to get fuel?


Thanks

Stan
