2010-07-18 Thread Dana Overall

Thanks Mark.  Pre-registering for shirts, hats, banquet, attendance allows me 
to order the correct number of each item and allows me to have the caterer 
prepare the right amount of food for the banquet.  I realize some will attend 
at the last minute, but if you are going to attend, please do us in the KR 
community the courtesy of RSVPing, it helps in being able to allocate the right 
amount of funds, which came entirely from the close knit KR community.  The 
plans are coming together nicely for another fantastic, you don't want to miss, 
National KR Gathering.  Put it on your calender, make your pre registration and 
let's get together for another one of those, you don't want to miss gatherings.

See all my old friends here shortly.

Steve mentioned that the KR group of builders have a
prop bank and may be willing to help me out with a loaner prop so that I can
try to match a propeller to my setup

KR> Selecting the right Prop

2010-07-18 Thread Peter
Hi, my name is Peter and I am an ex South African now living in Raleigh, NC.
Some three years ago I started building my own aircraft, not a KR but a
Waiex and recently got it certified and am now flying off the 40 hours.
During my build I met many great people including Steve Bennett, who I know
needs now introduction. I had read about Steve's Scat crank with the force
one taper hub and large bearing and decided to go with the Scat crank and
the force one hub.
I am very happy that I did but in doing so I have run into a problem and
cannot use any propellers that would have fitted the original Aerovee hub.
Tha Aerovee hub has a flat face while the Force one hub has the 2" centering
boss in the middle of the hub face.
Speaking with Steve, Steve mentioned that the KR group of builders have a
prop bank and may be willing to help me out with a loaner prop so that I can
try to match a propeller to my setup. I would be glad to make my current
Culver propeller available to the group should anyone wish to use it.
The original requirement calls for 54 x 44 wood prop and I would like to try
propeller in and around this range. Currently, my Culver is 58 x 38.
I would be very grateful if you would consider my request.


Thank you

Peter

KR> KR-2 Front Wing Spar Lamination - Corvair Mount - and a question about using fillers

2010-07-18 Thread Dan Heath
Having built both of my KRs from existing projects where the spars were
already built, I cannot tell you what I used to build them, but from what I
have read, and what I have used to bond other wood structures in the plane,
I suggest T-88.  I am offering this as I see you have had no other
responses.

I have a question about bonding where filler is needed.  I have taken the
header tank out of the Black Bird, and where it was bonded to the shelf,
with way too much flox, some of the plywood laminate pulled up with the
flox.  I was going to use T-88 here, but want to know if when using filler,
it is better to bond using the epoxy.  I use AeroPoxy for my glass parts.

I am now in the process of changing out my VW engine for my new Corvair
engine that Roy built for me.  I also had concerns about how to mount it,
but if you buy the KR motor mount from William Wynne, then it will almost
place itself on the firewall.  I know this because I built a mock firewall
from the KR plans, and it went right in place, even the William Wynne
cowling fit properly, front to back.  It will take a little trimming because
it is made for a KR2S which is a little wider, but is very flexible and
should be very easy to make fit.

I am looking for recommendations as to what type of epoxy are suitable for
laminating the forward  
spars...
