I hate to bring this to the forum again, but I have not had any luck
contacting anyone from NVaero since the store closed.  Please contact me if
you were affiliated with NVAero, I'd just like to know what is going on
with my order.

KR> Probably a simple way to lower the stallspeed

I will do that on my Kr in the area of the alerons toward the wingtips and 
probably on the bottom of the HS.

Steve is honoring all purchases made. You will get your order. He is very
busy with his full time business and uses his limited time off for nvaero.
He has been contacting people individually that have orders with him to
give updates. I have been successful getting a hold of him at
Steve.Glover at nvaero.com.

KR> Probably a simple way to lower the stallspeed

[Jeff Scott]

I installed VGs on my SuperCub.  My testing didn't show much of an impact on 
stall speed, so much as it made a big improvement in aileron response at slow 
speed.  However, a small impact on the stall speed may be all you need to make 
Light Sport numbers in a KR.  VGs also have an impact on top speed as they 
generate some drag at cruise as well.  But if your goal is to fly light sport 
with a KR, the impact to top speed shouldn't be much of a consideration and the 
VGs may get you down to the desired stall speeds.  

The SuperCub guys have spent a lot of time experimenting with VGs.  Some make 
fabulous claims about lower stall speeds.  Others say it made no impact on the 
stall speed.  The truth probably lies somewhere in between.  However, all 
reported a significant improvement in slow flight handling characteristics.

FWIW, on my SC, the VGs are installed the length of the wing, but much father 
forward in front of the ailerons than on rest of the wing.  That keeps the flow 
attached at the aileron end longer and assures an inboard to outboard stall on 
the wing.  

Sounds like VGs are an idea that might be worth trying if you want to go light 
sport with you KR.

KR> VG's on my Kr

[Herbert Fürle]

...the reason way I plan to install VG's on my Kr is to prevent loosing aileron 
effectivety  in some worse flying situations. For example,when you must handle 
a forced landing after an enginefailure,or you approaching a short airfield 
with a small pattern.I think it's always an adventure to have a small package 
of safety  in your mind in such unpleasant cases!!

Thank you Mike.  You make a great straight man.

What?  I was cereal!  How often do we examine our car/bike engines before
we drive somewhere?

Cereally, some engines are more touchy about (aboot if Canadian) this
than others.  My GP 2180 is an easygoing German/Brazilian/American engine
that doesn't mind being looked at a lot but some others can become
resentful and interpret being checked before every flight as an
indication that the pilot suspects they're not trustworthy.  I know it's
not PC to label the various engines as all being this way or that way,
but it's widely known that the engines from Austria (R), some models
in particular, can get quite touchy. Also the J* from down under has
a reputation for causing trouble when they think they are under
suspicion.  I realize each engine is an individual and have their own
personalities so I'm not stereotyping . . . just pointing out that some
engines, especially the sometimes overly-sensitive immigrant ones, will
behave better if they feel they are trusted and not given the third
degree every time we go somewhere with them.

KR> cowl

[Ronald Wright]

Most times it is the "pilot" who is not operating the engine properly is the 
one that causes the problem.  All engines need to be looked at regularly.

I've had Cont/Lyc people switching to 2 stroke powered airplanes who have no 
idea how to run one and apparently don't care to learn first.  None of the 2 
strokes like idling, which we call 4-stroking.  They love running at or near 
wide open throttle because that is where they perform best. 

Any engine needs to be run where it operates correctly.  Pilots need to learn, 
before flying, how that particular engine likes to be treated.  Operate an 
engine correctly and they will give you great service.

Just my .02.

KR> cowl hinge mounting

[Chris Kinnaman]

I seem to recall an article in Sport Aviation many years ago about a 
Midget Mustang builder who attached the cheek cowls with piano hinges. 
When installing the wires, he would lube them with something which I 
have forgotten and spin them slowly with a drill while running them in, 
reporting no problem with that method. This was before powered 
screwdrivers. MM cheek cowls are pretty long but the curve is not too 
sharp, so, not sure if the drill technique would work here.

KR> cowl hinge mounting

[Patrick Driscoll]

About 30 years ago, I flew  Fly Baby from Minnesota to Florida. The cowl 
had a hinge and wire set-up and the wire was not secured at either end. 
Twice after landing, I had someone ask me what type of tach I was using. The 
wire would work out about 5 or 6" after about three hours flying and it 
looked like the prop would contact it each time it passed. (it wouldn't go 
out far enough to actually touch the prop). People sure thought it was a 
tach.

[Richard Kaczmarek]

My KR and several other aircraft I own have the wire hinges for the cowl
and I have never had an issue.  Take a look at how Van's does theirs. It
makes for a nice clean look and a better looking fit on the cowl.

Personally, I think "Trust but Verify" is an oxymoron.  As in, "I really
trust you", but "I am not sure you told me the truth".  Not KR related
unless you are talking about not trusting that your engine in your KR is
always going to perform as it told you it was.

KR> hinging cowel

[Robert Pesak]

Hi everyone,
On the subject cowl hinging, it doesn't take any longer to remove three wires 
then it takes to remove a dozen or so screws. Maybe at our next gathering a 
contest is in order. Well I better get back to work so I can get it in the air. 
The only thing only thing I lack is finishing up.
