KR> Corvair College #17 in Orlando

[Mark Langford]

Those who are interested in using the Corvair as a powerplant might be 
interested to know about the Corvair College that'll be held March 18th through 
21 in Orlando.  For more info see http://www.av-mech.com/av-mech_014.htm , and 
for coverage of previous colleges see .  I'm already registered...

KR> Fontana Dam picture question

Lots of practice!  There are a few simple tricks, such as keeping the canopy 
clean and scratchfree, wearing dark clothes and having nothing shiny in the 
cockpit (the next one will be all black inside), and for times when the 
glare can't be killed I use the giant rubber lens hood that I suck up to the 
canopy to completely eliminate it.  Another trick that works well when the 
sun is low is to bank hard enough to put the wing between the canopy and the 
sun, and all glare disappears.  The original reason for the lens hood was to 
keep me from scratching the inside of the canopy with the end of the lense, 
and it does great at that also, so it stays on the camera at all times. 
Also, I take control of the camera by taking it off automatic and set ISO 
speed, shutter speed, and aperture to whatever it needs to be to eliminate 
blurring the image.  The image stabilized lense I bought last year helps by 
3 f-stops, which equals three shutter speeds lower, but I took a lot of good 
pictures before I bought that expensive lense.

Well I've been called a "failed pilot" before, and today I added a few more 
to the list while visiting my father's grass strip.  I decided yesterday 
that if I hit that dam at 250 mph the prop hub might make a dent about a 
half inch by a half inch, by about 3/8" deep.  At the risk of starting a TSA 
thread that will never end, I've been saying for years that we'd all end up 
putting our belongings in clear plastic bags and wearing gov't issue Tyvec 
coveralls on airliners, but my wife corrected me the other day and said "no, 
it'll be skimpy hospital gowns, and we'll be in handcuffs".  That image 
really cracks me up.

Today I added another 3 hours under the KR belt, now approaching 850 KR 
flying hours...

Mark, The pictures are fantastic. It seems that we all share this common bond 
that only pilots and can share. Most of the people that I talk to have never 
been above the tree line and have no clue of the wonders there missing. Keep 
the pictures coming, There just more inspiration for those of us who are still 
in the building process.

How do you get such VIBRANT pictures with any glare or haze from the 
KR's Canopy?

KR> folding wings

I checked my archives. Unfortunately I have the Ultra Baby Plans, not 
the Fly Baby ones.
Cheers.

KR> Re: Folding wings

[Peter Drake]

Rich
I have seen Ken Atkinson's wing arrangement. The wings do not fold. All he 
has done is to make the existing WAF arrangement easier to remove the wings, 
by using anchor nuts and a quite ingenious wing joint cover. He keeps it an 
a trailer at home anfd then tows it to the airfield to fly. He says he can 
rig it in about 45 minutes. Unfortunately he does not use a computer so you 
can't contact him on line.
I have some pics I took of it when I visited him last year, contact me off 
net and I will send them.

A few years ago Mark L had a link on his website about quick detach wing 
fittings from a builder in the UK.  The link was from Willie Wilson and I 
believe the builder was a K. Atkinson on his KR2 G-BVIA.  The link no longer 
works, but maybe someone has a copy of it.  The system looked simple enough 
to build, didn't add a lot of weight and appeared to make wing removal after 
flight practical.

KR> Keeping busy-Fun Friday

[Jeff York]

Seriously dana , that looks cool. I too have always wanted a wood boat (true 
beauty) and want to restore or build from scratch. As close as we love to each 
other, I would love to help you as it would be a great learnign experience and 
I certainly need the fellowship. I like to think my dining room furniture came 
out really nice so my skills should be of some value if for nothing else a tool 
goffer.
 
I am also available to help with the gathering if you need it.

It's at http://www.krnet.org/krs/katkinson/ .  I don't have much detail on 
the wing folding mechanism, but maybe I can get some details from him.  I 
almost made it up to see G-BVIA while I was there, but barely missed the 
opportunity.  If I go back I'll definitely make it point to see it...

Too bad about your medical. That looks like a good long term project
though. Sweet boat.

Several people have "noticed" my absence from the list the last couple
months, suffice to say I no longer have a medical due to dealing with a
little health issue...but the gathering plans are coming together nicely
and we should, as always, have a great time again this year.

Seems building is in my blood, after building a KR and an RV. I don't
need a medical for thisI started mine yesterday!!

Here's what she will look like

Now a building question.  I need to encapsulate the ash in epoxy, what
is the right mixture for thinning epoxy so I can brush it on?  As you
can tell, it's been a while since I worked with wood:-)
