KR> KR2S qualify as LSA?

[Darren Crompton]

This topic has been well discussed at length.

Go to the archives http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/search and type "LSA"
into the search.

You can probably build a KR in less time than it takes to read all the
posts.


Happy building.

KR> KR2S qualify as LSA?

[R. Lee Jarvis]

I think that the biggest challenge is likely to be demonstrating a stall 
speed of less than 45kts (52mph). Then all that's left is to limit the max 
level speed at sea level to 120kts. Everything else is fine.

It seems to me that this should all be entirely possible.

Gents,
I know that the KR2S will weigh in under max gross for LSA.  Can it qualify 
100% so if needed I could convert from PP SEL to Sport Pilot and keep flying 
a KR2S?

KR> Re: Oshkosh

[glenda mcelwee]

 I just returned from Oshkosh last night and got on the internet. I drove 
again this year and stayed for the whole event.  Once again it was wonderful.  
I have always camped at the YMCA because of all the benefits it offers. (Hot 
Tub, Swimming pool, Ice Skating, Gym, etc.) 

 My KR2 is not flying yet (but getting real close),  partially because I 
have spent a total of 49 days at Oshkosh and another 28 days total driving back 
and forth.  Those 77 days could have put me flying by now.  In spite of this I 
will attend next year. for the full seven days.

 Oshkosh provides technical information.  The forums provide an exchange of 
information that is invaluable. Mark Langford's talk on KR2s was a must see.  I 
attented many other seminars on building and flying.  I visited WW's tent 
several times.  I spent time in the AeroMax tent with Bill.  I had several 
talks with Gus at the Zenith tent,  I stoped by the Maxwell Propulsion Systems 
booth to look at their latest offerings.

 The social aspect is great.  You literally see and talk with people from 
all over the world.  Unlike flyins for specific planes you can meet people 
flying other types. This year I talked with Willie about KR2s in South Africa 
and also talked with a gentleman from Israel about his Cozy Mk 4.  A friend 
from Canada joined me for a couple of days.  

 Anyone with children or grandchildren knows Oshkosh is a great place to 
bring children to inspire them about aviation.  Most of us have greying hair.  
Unless we get younger generations involved in flying,  we will be the last 
generation to enjoy general aviation.

 I belong to both the EAA and AOPA.  Both groups have people in Washington 
presenting our side of general aviation to the law-makers. It is partially 
because of the number of members the EAA and AOPA have that law-makers listen 
to them.  Without our support of these orginzations fighting for our rights, we 
will soon see increased restrictions and fees put into place.

     I hope to see you all at next years AirVenture 2010.

KR> Is there anyone out there?

[Brad Ankerstar]

There are four based at Butler County airport (KHAO) in Hamilton Ohio, home 
of EAA Chapter 974.  Mine (KR2) is in the EAA hangar, awaiting the 
Airworthiness Inspection.  Two (KR 1 1/2 and KR2) are flying and one (KR2S) 
is on the gear.  We also have one flying out of an airport near Wilmington.

Is there anyone out there who has built, or is pretty far along on his (or 
her) KR-2S primarily - or any KS for that matter, who lives not to far from 
the Cincinnati area?  I would like to visit and chat.

KR> demo flight?

[C C]

I'm still thinking of building a KR2S. Anyone live within 300 miles of Spooner, 
WI 54801 that would be willing to give me a "factory demo"? Preferably one 
Corvair powered, as that is the only engine option I'd consider for a KR.

It is a toss-up between the three, KR2S, Sonex, Zenith CH750. Currently 
building an Affordaplane to pass the time 'til I get my sport pilot license.

KR> Re: Oshkosh

['Eric Klee']

I just got back from Osh as well.  I spent almost 2 full days and walked at
least 9 miles between the two days and participated in 3 of the workshops on
the Thursday that it rained much of the day on and off.  Two days is not
enough time imo to see it all other than just a quick look at most of it and
walking like you have somewhere to go in a hurry.  I was really in awe of
the scope, size and variety of aircraft and quality of the experimentals
too.  I just ordered my plans to build a Wittman Buttercup, so in 2011 I
hope to fly it into Oshkosh.  I am going to make it my goal to fly into Sun
N' Fun in April 2011, but I know it is a lofty goal at that.  It was
impressive to see the turnout in spite of a weak economy.  I am certain that
the EAA was quite pleased by the comments that were made.  There is some
amazing stuff going on. I was surprised in the two days I was there I didn't
see any of the KR2 fleet at all. I may have been persuaded to build one, but
in the end I did want a tube fuselage and old style high wing. I won't be
going as fast, but stol is a nice feature.  I hope to see some of you guys
at future fly-ins.
Be safe.

Just got back from OSH.  Camped out on the grass.  Hot showers were nice, 
but never used the new fangled flush toilets in my shower house.  The 
porta-potty habit is still in place; no big deal.  What was a big deal was 
to meet Willie all the way from South Africa.  Willie said he sure wished he

had one of those new fangled mixture meters in his Cessna 150.  That would 
have saved him an engine rebuild because of his running aggressive leaning 
and not really knowing what the mixture was.  I suppose you could get 337 
approval for your certificated Cessna if you also had an auto fuel STC. 
Don't need any such approval for your experimental.
There were 20 people in the audience at the Mixture Meter forum on Thursday 
morning.  I am not sure if they were there to hear what I had to say or just

getting out of the pouring rain.  No fan mail pouring in yet, but Mark Forss

did ask me to do it again next year.
I volunteered at the Composites Workshop for five sessions.  At 34 persons 
per session, that's 170 people that may have learned a little something 
about wet lay-ups, decided to build a composite aircraft or not, put up a 
fiberglass canopy frame for an RV-something, or even maybe build a KR.  You 
can never accurately predict where that little bit of knowledge and 
inspiration will lead.  I also got to build an emergency replacement fairing

for a retract landing gear.  The pilot was concerned that the gear may jam 
in the up position without a viable fairing in place.  His alternative would

have been to fly home with the gear extended at gear extension speed and 
resultant fuel burn.  No 337 there either.
I got to talk shop for about two hours with the avionics engineer on a 
gee-whiz all glass LSA.  He had not a clue on human factors engineering.
I listened to Mike Melville, the featured speaker at the Home Builders 
dinner on Thursday, as he recounted his adventures as a test pilot for Burt 
Rutan.
The Airbus A380 was impressive outside, underneath and inside.  You only got

to go underneath the A380 if you stood in the long line to go inside.  That 
was a real aluminum overcast.  The A380 on display was a flight test bird 
and had 25 tons of instrumentation onboard.  Yeah! Bring it on!
To say I had a great time and lots of satisfaction attending AirVenture 09 
would be quite an understatement.
My assessment on AirVenture: Just like life, to get something out of it, you

have to put something into it.
