KR> USA Visit ideas
AS you may know I will be at Oshkosh 2010, on the ANZAC 747 landing at Wittman Field on the 26th July at approx. 1300. I have some time a week or two if needed and would like some ideas of KR or aviation things to do or places to visit. I am just applying for my USA pilot licence, so I can fly around if I can sort something out. Any places you would recommend to hire a 152, 172, Jabiru, Sportstar etc? I know the US has heaps of museums, but what do think are the best places to visit? Or web pages to find info? I know that is most likely a silly question, but I have to give the ANZAC tour operators a date for my return flight, so I need to do some planning. ASAP. I'm really looking forward to placing some faces with the names I see on the net every day.

KR> Folding Wing Design
There has got to be an easier and fail safe way to do this.. -- Robin I do not understand your comment on removing all the WAF bolts? You only need to remove 4 bolts( normal removal of a KR wing ( Or 8 it you use the RR single bolt per hole idea) In Aust CASA did not like that idea, we use a single WAF through bolt with a thick wall 4130 spacer between the WAF's and locked up tight. Contact if you like.

Gavin Thanks a million! It was a very interesting/educatioinal web site. I have not seen this before but I have designed the very same folding wing hinge, but cylindrical and in aluminum, sliding in/out thru the center of the spar. However both designs require constant removal and replacement of the many wing attach bolts, a chore that I dread.

Does anyone know the dates of the most recent plans for the KR2S. There is a set on Barnstormers and I'm wondering if his 1999 plans are as current as the ones from RR or am I better off going direct to the source? Randy Irons Broomfield, CO randy.ir...@comcast.net

Howdy all, I have been flying an Alarus 2000 (Zenair 2000) for a couple of years now and I am looking at various airplanes/projects to buy or build. about the KR's. I like what I saw in the KR's and wanted to learn more. I fly out of Asheboro, NC, but live in Concord, NC and wondered if there were any KR's in NC/SC area near me. It'd give me a great excuse to go flying to come see your KR, just let me know, thanks, -jim pantas www.wildhorsesracing.com

Years ago I used 1/4" fir, three ply marine grade plywood on my KR-2 for the fire wall and fire wall shelf. It's still holding up today.

Edward, You may be able to find 1088 spec. marine plywood locally. Rich Hartwig Waunakee WI

The marine grade fir, 5 ply 1/4" is actually lighter and stronger than the birch. It is not always as readily available as the birches or baltic birch. You can also replace your spruce "sticks" with fir tho you will find it on AVERAGE to be 25% heavier ...but also 25% stronger. Does anyone out there have sketches or ideas for folding wing hardware? It is what I want for my next project.a simple fold upwards as on WW2 carrier aircraft.
