KR> Questions.....

[Lee Van Dyke]

It is Stable if you fly it.  It is not a hands off plane.  It is a good 
plane but I would not consider it a good training plane.  If you know how 
the plane flys it is an easy plane to fly.

KR> KR-2 Plans

[Johnny Cradduck]

Several years ago I bought a partial KR-2 kit and never found the time to 
build.  I still have the unused plans for KR-2, not KR-2S.  I am too old for 
that kind of airplane now.  Need to get the plans to someone who can use them.  
I would sell the plans for $60 including Priority Mail.  Anybody interested?

KR> EAA Special Edition: Sport Pilot Revisions Finally Here

[Tim]

Urgent Member Action Needed



  FAA Revision to Sport Pilot Rule Mostly Favorable

  The FAA's long-awaited revisions to the five year-old Sport 
Pilot/Light-Sport Aircraft Rule were published Monday, February 1, in the 
Federal Register. With the changes sport pilots will be allowed to fly higher 
and safer in mountainous regions, find it easier to gain towered airport 
experience in a powered parachute or weight-shift-control aircraft, and S-LSAs 
can be used at Part 141 flight schools which will likely reduce training costs 
for all student pilots. Additionally, a key change to the aircraft maintenance 
rules will allow E-LSA owners whose aircraft were originally certified as an 
S-LSA to perform their own maintenance.

  EAA and NAFI jointly submitted comments to the FAA's 22 proposed changes 
and after reviewing more than 150 public comments the FAA withdrew eight 
proposals and agreed fully or in part with EAA/NAFI recommendations on 10 
others.

  "The revisions to the rule will affect everyone differently. For most 
there will be very little change. But certain groups like E-LSA owners whose 
aircraft used to be certificated under S-LSA provisions should be excited since 
they will now be able to maintain and sign-off maintenance on their own 
aircraft." said Earl Lawrence, EAA's vice-president of Industry and Regulatory 
Affairs. "Obviously there were disagreements with the FAA's in other areas, and 
EAA will continue to fight for changes in the future such as the rules on 
ultralight aeronautical experience," Lawrence added.

  EAA and NAFI's three primary focus points during their review of the 
proposals were to maintain the original intent of the rule; ensure continued 
growth of the technology for the pilots, instructors, and repairmen; and ensure 
the continued lowering of economic and regulatory barriers for participants. 
The revisions are set to go into effect on April 2, 2010.

  EAA's comprehensive reaction to each of the rule changes can be read 
here. Look for EAA's in-depth analysis of the FAA's issued revisions in this 
week's e-Hotline.

Hey - It don't look like a typo to me. And Oscar don't get Mark off on another 
project yet. I kinda had a plan for OSH this year that he and I could park side 
by side with a 1000 hrs logged on his plane and a 500 hrs logged sign on mine.

That was just some good-natured  kidding from Oscar about that "bs" stuff. 
He knows everything on it is balanced, but it was a reminder that I need to 
fix that 235 mph reference tonight.   I really thought he sent that only to 
me, and my guess is that he MEANT to send it just to me, but forgot to 
change the address.   So I replied to it (not suspecting it was heading to 
KRnet) without deleting all the garbage at the bottom, which I usually try 
to do.

Mark; I scrolled down through your sunset pictures and found an error that 
needs to be corrected.  Caption for the 9th picture down, you state that you 
hit 235 MPH.  Now I know this is pure BS because at that time your ASI was 
reading incorrectly due to a disconnected static port tube.  Besides that, the 
Rand-Robinson website clearly states that the maximum speed for a KR-2S is 200 
MPH, here: http://www.fly-kr.com/kr2s.htm .  If you fly one faster than that, 
you are endangering your life as well as the lives of others and I think you 
are having way too much fun flying anyway.



I think your next project should be restoring a vintage steamroller like an 8HP 
1913 Aveling & Porter from Manchester, England.  They travel at a much more 
sedate pace ;o)

KR> another non-sunset flight picture

[Mark Langford]

You're right, I need to fix that 235 mph stuff.  You must have been talking 
to Willie Wilson near Manchester (747-400 British Airways pilot that also 
flies a KR).  He just finished restoring an 8 hp tractor that his father 
bought in 1956 (the year I was born).  It's an awesomly simply little thing, 
slightly bigger than a soapbox racer, but it replaced a team of horses! 
I'll try to remember to send you a picture, although I think it's in my 
England site somewhere, so you may have seen it already.  It's a cute little 
blue thing with Willie at the controls...

That is suppose to be AMATEUR but I guess we really have not grown up yet so it 
could be immature

Don't tell the KR I have down stairs what its VNE is. I have been to 235 with a 
EJ 22 150 hp on my KR. I plan on racing the plane this year. There is an 
immature group holding races around the country and I am going to try and 
enter. You race against time.
With my planes if you pull inside static it will only give you about 5 mph 
higher indication. When I have certain people riding I will reach over and pull 
my standby source and then point out the airspeed. I pull standby source about 
once a month just to make sure they are working.

KR> Re: Bolt Corrosion

My apologies to the list. I forgot to delete the other emails on my reply 
yesterday.

KR> Bolt Corrosion

[Roger]

Sid,
Try an anti-corrosive. CorrosionX makes a series of products that 
address this problem. I use CorrosionX-Aviation for electronics (it's 
"milspec") and CorrosionX-HD for hardware. http://corrosionx.com/
I have no affiliation with this company, I'm just a fan of their 
products. I have been using these two types for over 4  years on my '93 
BMW 850 which is electronically VERY complex and notorious for 
intermittants. I have no such problems any more. Their spray bottles are 
the best deal and last the longest. I usually just dribble a little on a 
Q-tip or my finger or epoxy brush and wipe onto the part(s).
Cheers,
Roger Byrd
