KR> Elevator travel

[codylee.cramer via KRnet]

Im seeing the archives are still down so maybe you guys can help me. I am 
trying to get my elevator angles set what is a good degree of travel up and 
down I'm fighting my creation at the moment I think it has to many adjustment 
points so my next step is to zero one and try setting angles with the up and 
down barrels.

No plywood on the fuselage.  Foam center with two layers of glass on 
the outside and one layer of glass on the inside.


Dennis asked for feedback and one of my several observations and 
suggestions was to remove the brackets and cut lightening holes in 
the ribs.  Several other areas of minor overbuild but overall I can't 
fault his workmanship.

Re: KR> KR 1 project

[Kayak Chris via KRnet]

ok no retracts, duh, shoulda gone back and looked.  ideally I'd like
to build a tri-retract, original size KR1, with engine back against
the firewall as original, and with a normalizing turbocharger. the
main retracts are easy. the nose can swing back halfway into a center
pocket (I think). as to a small normalizing turbocharger, tight
squeeze and heat issues. which is why it would most likely be added
later, in a phase two.

point being, I am happy to see some added complexity is possible with
enough thought and skill!

No retracts.  It does have a steerable nose wheel.

I don't think he said retracts.  He said it had tricycle gear.   Normally 
these are tail draggers.

Hi Mike!

Now I wonder if this would also help for a worn crankshaft? :-)

Re: KR> KR 1 project

[Tinyauto--- via KRnet]

Well I must say Dennis is building very different from what is normally  
seen.  The photos bring up a lot of questions.  You may have mentioned  it 
before, but is the sides of this fuselage fiberglass instead of  plywood?  Also 
are the rib to spar shelf brackets temporary?  Neat  canopy.  I am thinking 
this guy has built things other than airplanes  before.  Great that he is 
building in a basement just like me!!   Probably shouldn't have invited him 
to this group as it may corrupt him.  I  like that he has done so much 
without feedback, that he is building trike gear,  and that he is building the 
best KR.  A KR1.

The  folding wing is a one man process: remove the pins, pull the wing 
panel  outboard (it is spring loaded) and rotate it to the rear.

It will fly  with a 2si 70 hp two cycle water cooled engine.  The 
builder is this  far along in just 13 months and hopes to be flying by 
midsummer.  I'm  pushing him to make Lee Summitt but that will be a 
stretch so to those  attending, this will be your last chance for any 
trophies.

I  encouraged Dennis to join the net so you may be able to e-mail him 
direct  in the near future.  Just don't slow down his building.

KR> collectors item?

[Larry Flesner via KRnet]

I've spent the last few days of bad flying weather going through my 
several tool boxes and culling and reorganizing all the wrenches, 
sockets, pliers, screwdrivers, etc.  I've concluded that a duplicate 
of everything is sufficient and I culled the extra and donated to the 
college students working line service, other builders, and 
friends.  During the process I came across one 1/4" drive 5/16" deep 
well socket that was miss stamped at the factory.  Something didn't 
seem right and after looking it over for a bit I realized the socket 
information was stamped on the wrong end.  Socket info is normally 
stamped on the drive end, not the socket end.  I wonder if I've got a 
collectors item here.  After all, people pay money for potato chips 
that look like Christ, seems they might like a miss stamped socket, 
ya recon? Bids anyone??

The keyway is only there to force the pulley back onto the same 
orientation after removal.  This is so your timing marks don't get out 
of whack after you remove and replace the hub.  Finding an accurate TDC 
is not as easy as you might think, without direct perpendicular access 
to the piston crown.  The screwdriver down the sparkplug hole isn't real 
accurate.


The taper is what transfers the force from crank to hub...

KR> Happy New year!

[Rudi Venter via KRnet]

Happy New Year to all the KR'netters! May 2017 be filled with lots of safe
KR flights!

Unfortunately my New years flight was not in a KR as both my flying KR2's
are "down for maintenance", one needs new brakes and the other has an oil
leak in the oil cooler.

Operating from a 2400' runway that is 4800' high with DA often around 9-10
000' brakes are quite important

So my New Years flight was in a plane a bit like a KR1, just s bit slower!
Here she is:

Fly safe Everyone,
Rudi

Re: KR> New Years day flight

Sorry, the thing about email is that you need to read it FIFO and it presented 
as LIFO, so I did not see the flight report first.

 

My bad.  Thanks.

 

As I continue to build, I long to fly.
