You mean you have flaps installed on your plane and have never

I'm in melb for a few days. How are you. Any more news on the Damage, Can it
be fixed.

When first installed, I noted that it would nearly flood the engine and
that an immediate leaning of the mixture was required whenever it was
turned on. I solved this one by installing a 5/32" bypass line from the
pump outlet back to the header tank. Mixture adjustments from pump on
to pump off
I am still undecided about the fuel pump after struggling with it for a
year. It is the Facet that has been recommended by several people.

OK, I've been silent, busily working away, and today I managed to get
some repeatable numbers. I would appreciate "health" checks from
any/all of you!!!

KR Heads,
Regarding the "postage stamp" size flaps on the KR2S, I built them in and I
would disagree. They are useful in lowering the stall speed by maybe 5 mph
in stall tests I have done at altitude. Glad I made the effort to build
them.
They also are a big help to forward visibility when

Our eastern Hemlock is close to the specific gravity (weight) of Sitka
Spruce. The western hemlocks are about 8-10 percent heavier. We use the
hemlock here in Vermont for barn construction. The disadvantages of hemlock
might be 1- the lower elastic strenght, about 25% lower which means
I agree that they do help slow up.
They do alter the attitude which would indicate that there is something
happening to the lift/drag ratio but I am not sure I would bet my privet hedge
on the effect on stall speed :( I have wimped out of actually doing a full flap
stall test.
