KR> Question re Bolt sizes for undercarriage axle to leg ...
I have what I believe to be Deihl legs on my KR2 and two months ago had a landing mishap which appears to have been caused by the two lower bolts of the four ¼ bolts that attach the axle stub to the undercarriage leg having their nuts stripped off and the top two bending severely. (This was the result of a small bounce two up in a light left cross wind and a subsequent touch down a little right wing low and with a bit of drift on I think.) We didnt ground loop, but by fierce use of the brakes I managed to keep it straight but at an angle to the runway which we subsequently departed and tipped over in the very soft grass, still within the runway boundaries. couldnt steer with the RH wheel at a funny angle They were AN bolts with nyloc nuts .. The bolt threads have the nut threads still in them! Question. Is ¼ the usual bolt size for these axle fittings? Oh, and yes, we did make the news . Unfortunately.

KR> Wick's at KR Gathering
Hey Guys,This got thought about a little to late but I spoke with Scott Wick today about them coming to the KR Gathering this weekend and to be able to bring along any orders folks may have. He was going to call me back when He found someone to drive in for us and as of 4:30 pm Eastern I have not heard back. Maybe if you have an order you were going to place with Wick's anyway you could place the order and in special instructions mark to be delivered to the KR Gathering in care of Mount Veron Il. This Saturday. If he gets more than my order it may help get them to attend.Thanks,Joe Horton,Coopersburg, PA. 57-Year-Old Mom Looks 25 Mom Reveals $5 Wrinkle Trick That Has Angered Doctors! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4e6fbf7b286494est02duc
KR> Gathering meals
To all attending the Gathering, The airport restaurant will be serving breakfast for us on Friday and Saturday morning as well as the other daily meals. I encourage you to eat as many meals as possible at the airport to help them offset the really good deal they are giving us on the banquet meal. They are opening for breakfast just for the Gathering crowd as they are not normally open for breakfast. Thanks. I'm taking the rest of the week off work and I will be making the trip to Mt.Vernon tomorrow to start setting up. I hope I haven't forgotten anything. How many more hours, Jones? Larry
KR> wood
Dave, When you laminated the spars, did they stack vertically || or horizontally = ? I wonder if it makes a difference. Same for center vs outboard spars?

Have to be sure it meets specs in grain run-nout, no knots, etc. For the longerons I planed it to 5/8" thickness (left the height at 3/4", dampened the longerons and bent gradually over several days in assembling/shaping the fuselog: no cracks/splits. Laminated the spars ;do not want to cut spars from thicker pieces due to possible hidden pitch pockets. About 15% heavier and stronger than sitka spruce, a little over build/safety facter. ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
