KR> Re: VW engine baffles

[Sid Wood]

I used the stock VW cooling shrouds ($23 at Performance VW store).  These 
shrouds fit any size VW engine.   I made a fiberglass duct for each side 
from the cowl front to each shroud.  Be sure to install the Cool Tins also. 
My thinking is: If it has worked for millions of VW Beetles, it ought to 
work for my VW engine installation.  Ground runs keep about 350 degrees F on 
all four cylinders.  Have not flown yet; your results may vary.

[dodgedar...@verizon.net]

Two options as I see it:
a) Modify the tailpost to meet the vertical sides, OR
b) Build and set the tailpost properly, then let the lower longeron "adjust" 
itself over the last couple of bays.h
Personally, I don't think the ply will have any difficulty in following the 
slight change in contour as it will be conical, and not a compound curve.
You can test this while on the build table. Install your upper spreaders, then 
before permantly installing the lower spreaders use blocks on the table to 
spring the longeron against. Fit a sheet of ply up against the side, hold in 
place with spring clamps and look for any areas that don't lay flat.

Does anyone remember the fly-in that Paul Poberezney was involved with for a
few years after his retirement?  I understand that it has continued on after
he stopped being active in it.  I emailed the person in charge, last year,
but can't remember who it was and have not heard anymore from them.



Does anyone know when it usually is held, or how to get in contact with
them?

I'm guessing you are talking about the fly-in at Frasca Field at 
Champaign, Illinois.  Langford and I flew up there several years 
ago.  Don't know if they are still having it or not but seems like it 
was in the month of June or there about.  You might contact someone 
at Frasca Field for more info.

Hi Dan

For a few years, Paul Poverezney attempted to start a grass roots aviation
organization that had an annual flying.
The fly in was hosted by Rudy Frasca at his private airfield aptly named
Frasca Field near Urbana Illinois.  Rudy Frasca owns Frasca International,
which makes Full Flight Simulators



 

KR> KR-2 For Sale

[kr1pi...@aol.com]

To all KR-Netters,

It has come time for me to give up on my dreams of completing my KR-2. So  
now I need to find a new home for her. Hopefully one who will enjoy 
completing  the build process and letting her take to the air...

The boat portion of the fuselage is completed as well as the wing stubs.  
She sits on original RR landing gear. Tail features are built and installed. 
I  have the original engine cowling as well as the original canopy and 
frame. They  have not been installed at this time.

I also have two (2) corvair engines number correct per WW info. Both  
motors are complete. One is in the process of being torn down.

Send all inquires to Paul @ _kr1pilot@hotmail.com_ 
(mailto:kr1pi...@hotmail.com) 

In the Subject Box place "KR-2 For Sale"

The KR-2 is located in Central Florida. Lakeland area.

For More information The aircraft has and will continue to be placed on  
craigslist  in the city of LAKELAND, FLORIDA  till  sold.

As much as I hate this things have cropped up health related and it is now  
out of my control.

Thanks,

Paul

Netters,

I received the e-mail below from Donna Pettit.  Her father was a KR 
builder / flier from years back and she would be interested in any 
photos of her father with his KR or any other information you have to 
share.  Steve Glover, could you e-mail her the phone number for 
Jeanette Rand as they both reside in the Huntington Beach area and 
Jeanette may have some info or photos to share with her.  I am 
sharing her information per her request.   Thanks

E-mail for Donna Pettit   donna.pet...@bakerhughes.com



Hi Larry,
I was just looking at the KR gathering page, thinking back to my 
childhood and my dad who is now passed. I see you have photos from 
the fly-ins that date back to 1986. I am, of course, assuming that 
you are the guy that owns those photos and posted them to the website.
I was curious if you had any photos from prior fly-in's? My dad went 
to a fly-in, not sure if it was in 81 or 82 but I do know that it was 
in Oshkosh. Does that ring a bell to you? His name was Norman Negus 
and he flew a bright canary yellow KR2. If by any chance you have any 
photos from that fly in or know anyone that was there that might have 
some, I would just absolutely love to have them. I don't have any 
photos of my dad's plane and almost all of our family photos from 
that time period were destroyed. When I came across your website, it 
just clicked to me that someone else might have a photo of my dad's 
gorgeous plane that he worked so incredibly hard to build.

[John]

Hi Ya'll
John Bryhan here - http://internet.cybermesa.com/~jeb/
So, it's been a while since I was active on the mailing list.
what's new?
I really haven't worked on my project in 4 years now.  It's covered in dust
in the garage.
It's a KR2s - with a turbo charged Subaru EA81 - belly mounted radiator
NSI cam, twin ignition (runs pretty good, last time I checked)
90% complete 90% to go
I'm hoping to get back to work on it.
Which is why I'm re-subscribing to the list.
Jeff Scott told me that Mark Langford has given up on Covair's after
three broken crankshafts.
Who's out there in KR land?

KR> Propellers

[Dave_A]

Another 'bit' from my last week's work on the plane:

One tip of the wood prop has about a 3" crack in it going through all 
but the last outer ply 'skin' on the back of the prop.

It's a 53" prop, on an 1835 (presumably HAPI) VW.

1) Is repairing such a crack safe/economical, and if so, how does one go 
about doing it?

2) What is the 'normal' range of prop dimensions for a KR-2 with an 
1835? Eg, how do I determine what to replace this prop with, if fixing 
it is out the window?

We'd probably need a picture of it to know for sure, but I know people 
who've epoxied a missing chunk (matched in size) in place with T-88 and it 
worked fine.  It's certainly way more economical than buying another prop!

>>2) What is the 'normal' range of prop dimensions for a KR-2 with an

See http://www.krnet.org/kr-info.html for some good prop info vs engine 
size.  Keep in mind that one prop maker's pitch isn't the same as another, 
but you should figure that out from the chart as well.

KR> Fly In

[Ed Janssen]

Dan,

Yes, Paul Poberezny started the SAA (Sport Aviation Association) sometime 
around 1999, I think, and published a magazine called "To Fly".   His 
friend, Rudy Frasca, close friend of Poberezny's, offered his airport, 
Frasca Field, Urbana, IL, to hold Fly-Ins for the organization, a 
grass-roots aviation event.  The organization didn't last but a few years, 
perhaps due to inadequate funding.  Even though SAA folded, Rudy offered to 
continue having a fly-in around the 2nd weekend in June.  He (actually his 
son) has continued to send letters of invitation to former members each year 
since.  Last year, I believe, it was held June 11th and 12th.  Rudy has a 
very interesting small museum of airplanes, engines, etc. on the field as 
well as a modern factory that makes simulators.  He usually offers tours of 
the factory during the Fly-In.  One year Mark Langford and Mark Jones flew 
their KRs to the fly-in and gave a short seminar on KR building.  William 
Wynne was also there at least one year to give a seminar on Corvair engines.
