KR> First five hours
but the weather here has been cold and windy. Flying in Southern areas of Australia has been almost imposable, as we are having weeks on end of temp 35c( 95f) up to 45c (113f) Not much good for the KR. But have managed a few very sun up flights. But in contrast, Northern areas of Australia are Flooded, Phil Matheson SAAA Ch. 20 http://www.saaa20.org/ VH-PKR Australia EMAIL: phillipmathe...@bigpond.com KR Web Page: www.philskr2.50megs.com --- Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
KR> WorldPress
I am new to building and my enthusiasm may wane, but it hasn't yet. I am trying to balance life and this new obsession. I set a couple of rules, like no building if the kitchen isn't clean. I found that I want to spend less time documenting and more time in the garage. Facebook is an easy way for me to keep family and friends up to date. I don't know how Mark L or Scott Watts do it. I love their stuff, but I don't know how they have the time to build and document. I am going to CA this weekend and therefore I can't spend anytime building so I will be able to hopefully get a little caught up. Right now I just take pictures and post them on Facebook. I don't know the end of this project so I will hopefully reread the stuff that Scott has written and get a month ahead. I will also make a little trip to Spruce to pick up a months worth of supplies. I had bigger plans for documenting, but I will have to let go of them. One thought I had was to create a Wiki site like Wikipedia where everyone can add and correct. The goal then that the sum total of everyone's knowledge will be better than any one person's. >You could always try setting up a BLOG on World Press (worldpress.com and worldpress.org) It's a little involved and you might get some input you don't like, but you could always send your BLOG contact info to the net and folks could check your stuff and comment as they like.

KR> Lower cowl scoop
While repairing the KR2 we made a mold for a lower cowl air intake scoop. We have pulled our first part off of the mold and they come out strong and light. It is set up to fit most cowls. The mold was pulled off a Rand. If anybosy is interested E-mail me off line. l...@vandyke5.com Lee Van Dyke
KR> First five hours
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but the weather here has been cold and windy. But I have managed to get some flying in despite all of it. I just completed by first five hours today! So far all has been great, with no problems to speak of. I am hoping for some better weather in the next couple of weeks so that I can get those 40 hours flown off. Josh Choitz

KR> engine out take off
After blowing up an engine at night 20 years ago, I was a real Nervous Nelly in that particular plane at night from there on, but made myself do it anyway, sweaty palms and all. It didn't seem to bother me in any other plane. I have always flown with emergency landing sites in the back of my mind, so it didn't really change the way I fly. Flying in the mountains all the time, there are many times when there are no good options. Night time in the mountains is even worse. There are no good options. I put a lot of my effort and money into making sure that I don't see another engine failure. I can't eliminate all risk, but I can sure reduce it by making sure my powerplant and fuel systems are in first class flying condition. Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM N1213W -- J L wrote: I think a good scare is in order every once in a while. I have never flown the same after I had my engine quite because of a factory caused mag failure on my VW. Had it quit one other time doing a high speed flyby and pulling to 45 degrees and then banking 90 (uncovered the fuel supply hole). That was stupid on my part. Luckily it started again by windmilling as I have no starter. The mag problem happened over the airport. Mark and Mark, you guys have nerves of steel to have snapped back from engine failures as fast as you have. I am always looking for a place to land from takeoff to touchdown.

KR> engine out take off
Gary, I learned how to fly off of a winch tow. I haven't ever seen one set up in the US. I recently moved to the seattle area, do you know if there are any clubs using winches around there? Todd Thelin -Original Message- From: Barry Kruyssen To: 'KRnet' Sent: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 3:31 am Subject: RE: KR> engine out take off Joe raises a very important point here "keep the wing flying". As a glider instructor we teach/practice launch failures a lot. The most important thing is to get the nose down and maintain a safe speed near the ground (1.5 X stall speed). Winch launches are truly exhilarating as you can have around a 45 degree angle of attack (if you have never done a winch launch find a club near you and go for the ride of you life, also ask for spin training :-). During winch launches cable breaks are common and getting the nose down is life saving. Before you take off you should know what your options are. Once you get to your safe flying speed then you can re-evaluate your options. Just remember that more injuries have occurred from turning back rather than landing ahead (so I'm told).

KR> engine out take off
Food for thought: While it's been many years since I flew a single engine helicopter, as I recall it took about 12 - 15 seconds to get on the ground from 500-700 feet AGL. Of course if you fail to respond correctly and manage your rotor speed you will fall faster. Also, when your engine quits, you look through the chin bubble and that's where you are going to land. 38 seconds is an eternity.
