I just noticed this happened in 2001! I can't believe I never knew about this flight until now. It's got a Jabiru 2200 and the pilot is Colin Hale. Mike KSEE A Reverse Mortgage? Near 70?

Wonderful! That's some real flying there . . . and should do more than anything to put the KR back in the limelight. Ken would be proud of this one, although if he had lived he would have probably done it himself by now.

KR> Cowl
Hi Joe, The cowling we had at Sun N Fun was actually one of WW's. We didn't have one of ours there for logistical reasons. I think you are right about the need or extra stiffening. One thing we may do with the cowlings we have is add a 1/8" core in the areas you have mentioned to help with rigidity but keep it light. Regards, Steve
Fw: RE: KR> Cowl
Steve, The one that I received was pretty thick. In all fairness I did look yours over at SNF and it seemed only slghtiy heavier than my carbonfiber one. Yours was also slightly stiffer than my one off homemade. The shape and size without measuring looked the same as what I had to start with. I might be so bold as to suggest an extra layer on the sides of the bottom half. That is the only place that I had to add more material to keep it in shape on the plane From: "Steve Glover" Hi Joe, I'm surprised it was that heavy. I'll have to weigh the bottom but the top I currently have is only 5lbs.

KR> Cowl
Larry, Maybe the misunderstanding is that there is no cowl that is ready to mount. So the answer is it won't look like either. what it would look like is either picture minus the bumps (eyebrows) that are for my intakes. on the bottom it would fit all the way to the bottom of the fuselage at the firewall, no large bump for the carb or no intake snorkel. also no cut outs for the exhaust. There are no locations or connections to attach the 2 halves together or to the fuselage. You will also need to figure out where and how much exit air gets out of the cowl. So as you can see there is a lot to do after you have the cowl shell.

Dan, they said they did the rear starter one as I actually talked to him about it. Must have gotten to busy to bother with those of us that already have their engine built.

So if I did get the cowl from NVaero it would look like to last Photo and not the top ones. I also have an aerocarb and the poor cowl I have has a large air scoop going directly into the carb intake. Does your carb intake just use air out of the discharge from the cylinder cooling. Your engine has the manual fuel pump and distributor set up mine does so it should work that way. I see you have cooling set up for your coils, I think that probably is a good idea. Do you have points or are you using electronic Ignition. la...@lebanair.com -Original Message- From: krnet-boun...@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-boun...@mylist.net] On Behalf Of joe.kr2s.buil...@juno.com Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2010 7:16 PM To: kr...@mylist.net Subject: KR> Cowl Larry, If you go to http://www.krnet.org/krs/jhorton/ A couple of the first few pictures show the current state of my cowl and the very last picture shows the way it was formed when I first started flying it.

Thanks to Jack for mentioning the Virginia Festival of Flight. It's not too far from East Tennessee to Suffolk Virginia and I hope to see some of you there. New this year, we will be having a 60 mile, timed Rally along a triangular course on Sunday morning. It would be great to see some KRs flying in that event. That will be my second show in a row. On the weekend of the 14th, 15th and 16th, I will be a Lumberton NC http://mafsac.com/ doing their photography. On the 22nd and 23rd, I will be in Suffolk where I'm the web master and photographer. I hope to see you there.

This morning I'm thinking more clearly and my decision is to have the flyin as planned. I understand that some of you may prefer to go to the Virginia Festival of Flight and thats OK, but I will be here and have the hangar doors open, hope you can come. The invitation to stopover for the night enroute to VA Festival of Flight or anywhere is still open. Here is the plan again in case someone hasn't seen it or may have just joined the net. A reminder that the KR and Corvair flyin is only three weeks away. Saturday, May 22nd. This is another opportunity to get together with old friends whom we see only one or two times a year and to meet some new friends. There is no agenda, just get together and have fun talking and looking at airplanes. The flyin will be at (04tn) Hensley Airpark in beautiful East Tennessee. If you are flying in from a great distance and want to make a weekend of it come on Friday and stay until Sunday. I have some extra room to put some guest up or can provide transportation to a local motel. A hamburger/hotdog lunch will be served on Saturday, if coming early and staying late you will not go hungry. For flying and driving directions see http://www.hensleyairpark.com/directions.htm . or give me a call at 423-278-8617. If you would like to bring your wife, my wife will escort the ladies on a tour of historic Greeneville TN.
