Anyone know where I can buy VE, other than AS?  As usual, the only thing
that I really need right now is the VE, and they have it BO.  



I expect to finish fabricating the last of the parts for the Fuel Tanks,
today and will begin final assembly tomorrow.  So, why I need the VE, to
patch up the holes in the wings.

KR> Sorry

[Michael Swierk]

Hi Eric,
  My name is Mike Swierk and I live Oxford, Indiana was wondering if I could 
get together with you one day and check out your KR? I have been interested in 
a while and maybe looking to pick up a project or start fresh. They seem to be 
a great little machine from what I have been reading for a while and checking 
out all the builders sites.
 Thanks Mike

I always got VE from Dan Diehl.  It worked out much better than the AS stuff
because he promoted it properly for the current season to give a reasonable
working time.

KR> Wicks aircraft "open house" day

[Mark Langford]

KRnetHeads,

Today Larry Flesner and I flew into the "First Annual Wicks Forum", an open 
house that featured some great speakers and a tour of the organ factory.  
Speakers like Rod Hightower (the new EAA president) and Mark Cook, Kitplanes 
editor, among others. I really like Hightower...I think he's asking the right 
questions and planning to do the right things.  

It occured to me that I should have sent out a reminder late in the week to 
fill up a few of the empty tables.  I'll do my best to do a web page on the 
experience by tomorrow night, but for now check out this picture of Larry 
flying early this morning over Illinois.  See

KR> stub wing gap seals

[Mark Langford]

Back when I first started flying my KR, I was in the process of going from 
gaffer's tape gap seals to some that I made up from fiberglass layups.  But 
between the two, I decided I needed to fly a little, so I flew one day without 
any kind of gaps seals at all between stub wings and outer wings.  A nasty 
surprise awaited on takeoff...I was worried that I'd take out the trees at the 
end of the runway!  I was shocked at how much the climb rate was affected by 
the absense of gap seals.  I had a 1.5" gap in there, and it made a huge 
difference.

A recent Barnaby Wainfan article in Kitplanes magazine explained the physics 
behind that phenomenon, and a 1/2" gap can kill off something like 40% of your 
lift.  The gist of it is that you basically have three wingtips on each side 
now, along with the associated lift penalty.  I mention this to keep you from 
making the same mistake I made...and now you know why I reduced my wing gap 
down to 1/16" recently, and it's currently covered with gaffer's tape...
