Good morning fellow KR'rs


Spent some time yesterday designing my control systems.  Ailerons will be 
torque tubes with a u-joint connection at the rear WAF.  Looked in the 
archives and found very little on anyone using torque tubes.  Any info 
(links) on KR or any other aircraft applications would be greatly 
appreciated.  Line drawings are here: http://www.kr2seafury.com/4.html Once 
I start building them I will have a better idea of location and size of the 
components.

Headed to OSH on the 29th.

Craig, I don't like the look of the screws on that bell crank assembly and
suggest you confirm you want to bet your life on that hardware.

The Teenie Two uses torque tubes, it is also a side stick.

My KR2 is fitted with ALL push rod not torque system. I moved the aileron 
tubes to behind the main spar to a bell crank then the push rod runs between 
the WAF to the aileron, this allows for full width flaps on the inner wing 
only, I almost never need the third stage flap to land. 355 hours now.

Some photos on my web page.

KR> Airventure Cup Race, OSH

2011-07-23 Thread Mark Langford
NetHeads,

Just an FYI, Jeff Lang has talked me into running the Airventure Cup again this 
year, probably to give himself some competition in the Sportsman category. The 
race starts at 10AM Sunday morning from Dayton's Wright Brothers Field, and 
ends near Fond du Lac.  We'll be flying into OSH as a "mass arrival" Sunday 
afternoon, and my plane should end up parked in the "Racer's Square".  Maybe 
this will get us a little recognition for the KRs and Corvair powered 
homebuilts, but if nothing else, it's good clean (although expensive) fun.  My 
wife told me with a smile, "don't come home if you don't win", but what else 
could I expect from her?  

I hope to see many of you at the KR forum Monday afternoon at the usual time,  
1:00 to 2:15 in Pavilion 2 (the GAMA Pavilion) in the Forum area.

I'm out of here shortly...
