Thanks Dan, Just goes to show that even an experienced builder can make a 
mistake now and again. A good reminder to check and recheck before signing off 
on a component. Glad you found the problem.

KR> KR Progress

[Dan Heath]

Some of you know that I took my KR2 out of service over 18 months ago, to
put fuel in the wings and install the Corvair.  The fuel in the wings was
finished several months ago, but I could not get the installation of the
Corvair finished in time for this year's Gathering.  I have been having
trouble getting the engine to start now that the installation is done, and
it has nothing to do with the engine, but, it has everything to do with the
idiot who was doing the installation, me.



Both Matt Elder and Mark Langford spent a lot of their time trying to solve
the mystery and earlier this week, I got an email from WW offering to come
up and help me find the problem.  However, today, I must have gotten some
divine intervention.  I could not stop the thought in my head that I should
check the polarity on the coils, even though I knew which side was which.  I
installed the coils between the shelves, that made it so you could not see
the marking on the coil, but I knew which side was + and which was -, but I
just had to check even though I tried all known methods of distraction to
keep from going through the required contortions to loosen the bolts to
remove them.



So upon discovery that the idiot had struck again, I re-oriented the coils
so I can see the markings and made my own markings on the coils and the
shelf under which they are installed.  I re-connected everything and it
fired off on the first blade.  It continues to run great as long as I hold
in the primer button, but won't run on the carb.  Sending the carb back to
Ellison on Monday, overnight, to see what dumb thing I inadvertently did to
it.  I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with Ben Ellison today and he is
just as stumped as me.



This is not a show stopper and I still plan to be at Corvair college in
November.

KR> Re: Actual work on a KR

[smwood]

I talked with the Dulles FSDO inspector regarding getting an airworthiness 
inspection.  He said I needed to do a flow test to determine if my fuel 
system could deliver 150% fuel at full throttle, low fuel and max climb 
angle.  How to do that with an engine-driven fuel pump has been a mystery. 
The KRnet has been most helpful with suggestions.
My hangar partner had removed the Grand Rapids fuel flow sensor from his 
Pulsar XP.  The aircraft has a Rotex 912 with dual altitude-compensating 
carburetors with fuel return to the fuel tank.  The fuel flow sensor was not 
suitable for his installation, so he gave it to me.  I am now installing the 
fuel flow sensor in my KR-2 2180 VW to plug into my Grand Rapids EIS.  This 
will be a permanent installation.
I am also temporarily installing a "T" in the fuel line at the carburetor. 
An 8-foot fuel hose runs from the "T" to a valve.  This allows dumping fuel 
in a can in addition to supplying fuel to the engine for the full Power run 
up.  My assistant can then adjust the valve to get 150% flow through the 
system, while I monitor the fuel flow numbers from the cockpit display.  The 
2180 VW is limited to 2 minutes full throttle operation at sea level and low 
altitudes.  That should be sufficient time to do the actual test and prove 
the carb has not run out of fuel.  Have to test each of the 2 wing tanks in 
the fuel system.
I will remove the "T" and extra fuel line to return to normal operations.
First flight and Gathering 2012 are on the horizon.

Netters,

As I sit reading another E-mail about putting a Jabiru on a KR, I thought 
that I should give you an update on my progress of getting to the next 
gathering.  The situation that I am in right now is like a puzzle.  I have a 
plane in my garage, not a KR, an Ultra PUP.  That is another story.  Prior 
to going to the Gathering, I was helping a fellow EAA member and KR owner do 
some repairs. He purchased an older KR tri gear that needed some minor 
repairs.  That was 2 years ago.  He asked me to help him with some of the 
repairs, glass work on the cowl, cracks on the canopy frame and cracks in 
the paint on the wings as well as some bubbles on the wings.  When I decided 
to go to the gathering, I called him and said that I would be able to help 
him, duh!! he offered some money for the fixes and me going to the 
gathering ,well it was a win win.  I got the cowl fixes done as well as 
the canopy frame and I primed and pained them prior to the gathering.  Since 
I got back I have been working on the wings, and let me say if you are going 
to use BONDO as a filler.dont.  It will crack.  If you do, spend the 
extra money and get the good stuff.  Wal-Mart does not sell the good stuff. 
What I thought were going to be easy fixes, could have been if I did not not 
like the person that I was doing the work for.  Several grinding disks 
later, and some micro filler later, the fixes were ready for the good body 
work.  I should have the wings in primer this weekend and ready for paint. 
I found out today I need to help a family member move and will lnot be able 
to get the paint on this weekend.  I will find a night this comming week to 
get it done.
With that said, I can focus on the plane in the garage and get a coat of 
paint on it and get it to the airport.  Snakebite will then have all of my 
attention.  I would like to have it back in the air before the new year.

OK  lets hear the progress stories.

KR> Actual work on a KR

[Bob Glidden]

Well prior to the gathering I had no plans to finish the KR in my barn aka
the "mouse trap" but since returning from another AWESOME time at Mt Vernon
I decided that I would drag the plane out and give it a shot. I pulled off
the old firewall and took a 2180 vw off a Corby starlet and I'm headed out
for new plywood today to replace the firewall. I or I guess we since my 15
year old is helping would really like to have the front end repairs done and
the engine hung and get the first run on the engine before turkey day in
November. And I guess since Lee is so busy helping everyone else with their
KR work I will have to do all my composite work myselfthanks buddy,
actually he is going to do a pair of wheel pants I got from John B. he mouse
trap will make it to the gathering next year if I have to tow it. About
three years ago I decided I was going to slow working on airplanes and focus
more on my two boy's activities in their lives and believe me they have
many. Well that has not changed I just found a way to do both...get them
interested in airplanes and working on them. Even the wife thinks working in
the barn on airplanes is a good idea. It really was great seeing everyone
this year and it would be awesome to see 40 KR's at Mt Vernon next year.
