KR> nV | Aero back online
i am happy to point out that nV|Aero is back online. Please read under the section Recent Updates about Parts and Plans Availability. Thank you Steve for your continued support of the community! Alex Pearson San Antonio, TX
KR> KR Plans
All plans from my understanding still are obtained through Jeannette Rand. NVAero was providing them as a service to the community not something they made very much money on, Also from what I heard that Jeannette prefers to handle multiple orders at one time since there are large scale plans and the build book to be copied. If someone has a way to email Jeanette Rand that most likely is going to be the best way to get plans without purchasing someone elses project.

KR> How to add fluid to brakes / brake bleeding
Brake Fluid Pump System not Break - funny. I will leave the step by step to the article but it does make use of a standard handheld plastic pump sprayer. The article points out a short 7 item bill of materials of parts. Looks like about an hour to build once you have the parts.

Interestingly enough the December 2014 issue of Kitplanes has step by step instructions on page 86 for a DIY Break Fluid Pump System.

KR> KR2S supplement
It would seem to me though unnecessary to on a group forum to bring all this up so publically. I have been part of the KR2 community a few months now, a very short time compared to many of you, and have found everyone to pleasant, patient, friendly, and helpful. I doubt that any of us can say we executed 100% of the time on everything we commit to. I am a business owner myself. I would imagine the KR business, due to the relatively small size of the community, is not a run to the bank with wheelbarrows of money business for Steve. There has to be a lot of doing this for the love of the plane and the community. I am sorry that you didn't get the plans you want in the time frame you wanted however from the thread it appears there was some miscommunication going on. People deserve to be paid for their intellectual property and the things they sell to run their business. Scanning of information that represents someones livelihood is not right. You wouldn't want someone taking your car out of your driveway. Its time to take this out of the group list. Sorry for the long winded response however I am involved here for the joy not the politics.

KR> A-790 Vernier Control Cable
I am nearing completion of a KR2 with a Revmaster engine (big night last night was able to finally get the engine running smoothly!). I changed out the Posa carb that was on the engine with a new Revflow. In changing out the carb I found that the mixture cable was too short so I bought a new A-790 Vernier Control Cable from Aircraft Spruce (an ACS Products control) that needs to be cut to length. My question is what is the proper method to cut the control to size? There is a galvanized steel casing with a Teflon internal coating and a solid wire core. Alex Pearson alexptx at gmail.com

KR> New to the KR Family
Hello all! I decided to introduce myself since I am new to the group and the KR family. My name is Alex Pearson and I live in San Antonio, TX. Took my private written in 1976 and became a certified pilot at 30 (1989). I have a bit over 500 hours however I have not flown since 2006. Starting tailwheel combined with recurrent training tomorrow. In the last 3 weeks I have purchased 2 KR2s and 1 KR2S all with VW motors. 1 KR2 and the KR2S are both projects however one of the KR2s is a mostly finished machine ready for an Airworthiness Certificate. I would have liked to have been at the Gathering however I was driving a KR2 from Louisiana. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting others in the KR family and being a part of some of the Gatherings. If any of you are close to San Antonio let me know. All three planes are in a hangar at a private airfield south of San Antonio, 28TE. I am the only renter out there right now so there is room for more. Alex Pearson 210.365.3374 Cell
KR> Looking for Texas Builders/Owners
New to the list. Just purchased a KR2 and a KR2S project as well as a just about ready for Airworthness Certificate KR2. Curious if there are any builders/owners close to the San Antonio, TX area. Hangared at 28TE, Elmendorf, TX. Looking forward to being an active part of the KR2 community. Alex Pearson San Antonio, TX
