I don't remember...that was a long time ago!  All I can tell you was the 
inner diameter was something just large enough to clear the 1.25" tubing, 
and with a large diameter.  I just looked through the McMaster Carr catalog 
(they  have hundreds of different kinds and sizes of washers) to find a thin 
one with a hole size that fit.  See http://www.mcmaster.com and search for 
"washer".  I probably used something like their number 91083A039 , which you 
could also just enter into the "FIND" field.

KR> Wing Tank Progress

2010-10-10 Thread Dan Heath 
Yesterday, I worked all day, with a fellow builder, to build these fittings
for the wing tanks.  We made the tank to cap wing skin level fittings and
the fuel probe fittings.



I messed up one of the fuel cap fittings, so I will  have to order new
stuff, and build a new one.  Since I have seen two of them made, I can
probably make this one with the exception of the welding.



So, another 12 or so, hours racked up on this project.

be finished soon.

KR> Stub Wings - Plywood Skin

2010-10-10 Thread Dan Heath 
Not in the plans.  I have heard of some covering with plywood, and have
thought about it myself, but I do not believe that I have ever seen one
flying.  So don't let your heart be troubled and rip off those old plywood
skins.

KR> Stub Wings - Plywood Skin

2010-10-10 Thread Jon Finley 
Hi all,



The project that I have has plywood covered stub wings but I can find no
mention of this in the plans.  Was this ever considered an acceptable
option?



The answer to the above probably doesn't matter as I do not care for the
quality of construction so am going to remove and reconstruct the stub wing
skin. However; knowing the answer might make me feel better while tearing
them apart! J



Thanks!

Subject: KR> stub wing gap seals

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...
