KR> Inspection
Just had my inspector here. He has signed off all the gluing and foaming and the dr Dean hinges on my rudder. I have been made to put hardwood blocks to support the stem of the rod ends see photos on my website www.peterskr2s.co.uk. All my other mods have been approved. I have also been making the seat, with blue styrofoam and a layer of bid both sides, it is fantastically strong and very light. photos soon. I'll soon be able to start glassing the tail and wings, when the weather gets a bit warmer. Peter Drake Hereford UK

Make sure you are in some of the building photos, especially the early photos, to show at what point you started or entered the building process. Neither the photos or the writing has to be of professional quality. If you can match the quality of the photo on your drivers license, that's good enough. It is an official government document and they accept that. :-) If you keep your photos on the computer, make sure you have backup. Burn a CD every few months or something. Larry Flesner

The main reason for documenting is to prove to the inspector that you built the plane and comply with the 51% rule. Just keep a handwritten log right in your shop or near the door. I just used a college note book and wrote in the date , hours, and task performed each session. Then if you have free time to update a web site do it at your leisure.

I just noticed in a response to my earlier posting that I had a typo in my e-mail. The site for creating your own free blog is wordpress.com and wordpress.org, not worldpress.xxx. Sorry for any inconvenience. Mark W N952MW (res)
KR> RE: Mixture Meter Presentation
I recently asked for input regarding Mixture Meter usage. These systems consist generally of an O2 sensor installed in an exhaust pipe and a cockpit display. Using 100LL with an O2 sensor is not recommended. So far I know of three KR aircraft: Dave GoodmanCorvair Installed, but not flown http://sites.google.com/a/wildblue.net/goodmans/Home/firewall-forward Sid WoodVW Installed, but not flown http://websites.expercraft.com/sidwood/index.php?q=log_entry&log_id=2130 2 Mark Langford Corvair Flown extensively http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/o2meter/ If there are other mixture meter installations, planned, installed or flown, please let me know part numbers and vendor sources. Pictures of the O2 sensor and display installations would be very helpful along with comments on the usefulness of the system.
