I wonder if we could talk Marty or Dan Diehl into hosting one?  I sure would
like to see them again, even tho they don't have KR's anymore.  Anybody know
what happened to Marty's KR after it was sold?

KR> Where is this KR

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

Hi Steve,
Say, seeing your on here, I've always been curious if Mike Garbez ever sold his 
type 4 rear drive KR. And, if so what it's status is , if you know. The N # 
998MG look-up still lists it under his name. That was one good looking KR!
Thanks,

I think you mean Kevin Kelly.  He's the guy that designed and built the
KR100, and drew up some of the RR plans drawings.

I've recently joined the KRnet after our non-profit organization received a
donation of a KR-2 (N147S serial number 2079). I'm told this particular KR-2
won first prize at Oshkosh some years back.


Michael,
This KR2 originated in Yakima, Washington. The builder was Jerry Robinson. 
He was an Attorney in the area. He used to be good buddies with Steve Kelly 
and I have many pictures of his KR2 flying with Steve's KR100 in Yakima. At 
that time it had a revmaster in it and when he converted to the continental 
I  traded a set of fixed aluminum main gear to him for his prop. He was also 
selling plans for his version of canopy which I bought, but never used.

The info below is not KR related, but figured some of my KR friends might 
want to know.

Ps. I've been out of circulation for months and probably will be for many 
more months as I had a head on collision with a car while riding my Harley 
home from work back in May. A lady turned left in front of me with about one 
car length of warning.  http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/buddymidkiff

KR> RR Wing skins

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

James,
I had a set of RR wing skins and when I talked to J. Rand, she told me to 
follow the KR2S plans, which also includes a urethane foam extension to the 
wing spars. She also said that the Dan Diehl video and his instructions on 
his web site would be very useful. Her main warning was to use epoxy because 
the pre-molded wingskins were made with epoxy. Diehl wingskins were made 
with vinyl ester resin, so he say use vinyl ester to attach his skins. J. 
Rand cautioned against using vinyl ester resin on her wingskins. The only RR 
wingskins I've seen installed were on Dan Gribler's KR2S, which I've 
included a link below.

  I have a set of Rand Robinson wing skins that I would like to use on my 
project, the problem is I do not have any instructions. I contacted RR and 
was told to just use the Diehl installation instructions. My understanding 
is that these are two very different wing skin kits. Any input and/or help 
would be appreciated.

KR> Shipping Engines

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

I have a couple engines complete with accessories for sale. A type 1 and a 
type 4.  My question has to do with the best way to crate and ship these 
when the time comes. My thought was to secure them to a small pallet and 
then box them in. I'm sure open for any suggestions though. Maybe I should 
check with Steve Bennett also.

KR> Lost Medical_Parting Out

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

Seeing that it's Friday, I thought I'd re-post this KR parts For Sale 
information. The link below will take you to my website where you'll find a For 
Sale Tab to click on. I have marked the few item which are no longer available. 
If I don't have it listed, but you see it somewhere on the site, just let me 
know off line what you're interested in. 
Thanks,
Bud




KR Community,
I have prolonged the inevitable for over a year now, hoping things would 
improve, but have come to the realization that getting a waiver on my medical 
is next to impossible. I have several chronic conditions now and the 
medications they have me on are on the FAA's hit list.

So, with deep regret and sadness, I have decided the best way for me, is to 
part this project out. Yesterday I posted a For Sale page on my website, with a 
partial list of some of the stuff available, with a few pictures. Check it out 
and if you see anything of interest and need more information just email me 
offline and I can provide more info or pictures if needed.

I want to make these available first to the KR community and then, if 
necessary, I'll advertise them on Ebay or Barnstormers.

KR> gear legs

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

Here's a cut and paste from Dan's instructions, which are located on his 
website.   http://www.diehlaero.com/ . He has underlined MUST in the 
instructions.




KR-2 LANDING GEAR INSTRUCTIONS


The composite landing gear is made from a 3-M product called Scotchply. The 
castings are made of aluminum alloy. The prototype was load tested to 2.5 
G's, 1,250 lbs. On each main gear. This resulted in a 3 1/2" flexure which 
is 75% of ultimate bending. With this information and subsequent flight 
testing, the gear was lengthened 4". The increased leg length provides more 
ground clearance. To 3/4". This has resulted in a nice springy 3 G gear. 
Also, at this same time the gear legs were beefed up, the casting thickness 
was increased by 3/32".

The Gear legs are shipped precut and the edges are chamfered. The 
taildragger conversion mounts the main gear on the forward side of the main 
spar with castings bolted on just outside the fuselage sides. The gear legs 
angle forward. The tri-gear mounts the gear legs on the aft side of the main 
spar with the legs angling back. The tail dragger version of the gear leg 
has a straight leading edge from top to bottom. The tri-gear version has a 
crook on both sides of the leg. The arrow points forward.

Four pieces of biaxial cloth are provided with each kit. This cloth must be 
put on the legs before drilling holes. The cloth runs from top to bottom of 
each leg. Follow drawings. This cloth is installed to prevent leg twist 
during touchdown and braking. After the biaxial wraps have been installed, 
the brakeline housing needs to be built. Either Epoxy or vinylester resin 
will work fine.

To enclose the brakeline, a large diameter soda straw can be "hot glued" to 
the edge of the gear leg below where it bolts to the casting. Once attached, 
two layers of fiberglass should be wrapped around the straw. This holds the 
straw in place and helps "fair the leg". (Note: On tri-gear versions, mount 
the straw on the forward side of the gear. On the tail dragger version, 
mount the straw on the aft side of the leg.

Six AN-4-32A bolts mount the main casting to the spar. Two AN-4-16A and two 
AN-4-17A bolts join the leg to main casting. The axle casting is bolted to 
the leg with four AN-4-15A bolts.

The axle is bolted to the axle casting with four AN4 bolts. (Not provided in 
kit.) The length will vary depending on the axle and type of brake 
available. Cleveland and Matco are the most common.

I went and looked at the paint spray gun you mentioned that was in the 
latest Harbor Freight ad. The one they had for $12.99 was item # 47016 and 
says it is a 20 oz. gravity feed spray gun. No where did it say anything 
about it being an HVLP gun so I held off on buying one. Are you sure this is 
the one ? Looking into the archives on HVLP I came up with a couple other 
numbers that members are using. The #44677 was mentioned by Sadler and the 
43430 was mentioned by Dan & Mark.

Subject: KR> HVLP spray gun bargain


Just got a sale flyer with the Harbor Freight 47016 HVLP gun that a lot of
us use on sale for $12.99.  Regular price is $49.99 and I thing that the
normal sale price is something like $39.  I have painted two planes with the
one I have and I love it.  I am going to buy a spare or two at that price.

KR> Gathering 2005

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

These KR Gatherings continue to get better and better each year. Cheryl & I 
have attended the ones in Arkansas, Iowa & Illinois so far. I personally 
want to thank Bill for the ride in his KR! That was icing on the cake to get 
a ride in such a fine KR. THANKS BILL!! I didn't take many pictures this 
year, but those I snapped I've placed a link below to view them. The ones I 
could identify, I placed their names on. Hope I got them right. Can't 
believe how long the URL turned out to be.

As far as our preference for a gathering date, I know my wife would like it 
earlier because she works at a Christian School, which is already back to 
school and she has to take a few days off to go with me. For me, I'm working 
part-time at Sears in the tool department and if they don't give me the time 
off, I'll quit. I can always get another part-time job.

 I took off at 9:20 am for a 1 hour flight in the local mountains.
 It took quite a while to climb to 9000 feet, as I was crossing over a
 glacier I had a bit of a scare.
 The RPM started dropping from 3000 to 2900 in about 3 seconds.
 I pulled out the carb heat and after about 15 seconds the RPM came back
 up.
 More proof the a POSA carb can experience carb ice, it was probably in
 the intake manifold.

being at the fire pit at 10:00am Saturday. At this point the weather 
forecast looks favorable for those that need to get over the Cascade 
mountain range. It would be good to see those KR-2s from Idaho and Utah 
again and also those from nearby British Columbia and Oregon. Hey California

KR> Stability

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

Thanks Mark & KRNet,
I have Rand's wingskins instead of Dan Diehl's, so I'm pretty much locked 
into the RAF48 airfoil, but I keep toying with the thought of going through 
the process of raising the rear spar to reduce the incidence some. I 
probably should just leave it alone and press on so I can get this plane 
finished.
Thanks,
Bud

KR> Throttle Cables

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

Mark L,
 I was wondering about the cables you used on your Ellison TBI carb for 
throttle, mixture & carb heat?  In looking at the control cables in AS 
they have many different lengths and also the choice of straight cable or 
10-32 threaded ends.  What worked out to be the best solution for your 
application as far as length and the type of ends? I guess Mark J could also 
respond to this as he used the same carb.

Hi there
My name is Gil and i live in Brazil.

1) May I use a high density expanded polystyrene (EPS) in place of the 
styrofoam which is much havier, and what about the advantages or disadvantages 
of doing that?
2) Which is the best carburator type may i use with the VW 2180cc engine?
3) How can I find the easiest way to built a canopy?
4) Which is the best canopy type recommended?
5) Which is the best seat to buit, because I´m thinking of doing it per plan.
6) What about the static eletricity? Is there any accident because of that? Is 
there a need of builting a estatic wire system?
7) Is there any site or tips to tell me which is the best way to built the 
engine cooling system?
8) Is there any accident u know envolving fire? Because it should burn real 
fast...
9) What about the original flaps? Does it work well. Do you recommend the use 
of it or a belly board? If yes, do you know the best way to built it?
Thanks very much and sorry to bother!!

Hi Jim,
How much would you ask for the electric turn coordinator? Is it the 12V 
model? I would be interested in it if it's the type with the airplane in it.

KR> Props

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

Mark,
If you find someone who will drill those for you, I'd like to know as I have 
checked with a couple prop makers and they would not do it for me. I talked 
personally with Ed Sturba, and he said he'd only double drill props he had 
made. I also checked with Ted Hendrickson, here locally and he said he is 
fully retired. The people he sold his business to back east folded. The prop 
I have is a 52 x 50 Hendrickson drilled for SAE 1. I was going to initially 
try to use this one on the Type 4 engine I have, but Ideally will probably 
be better off with a 52 x 54 drilled for VW. Mark are the props you have 
listed on your web site. I might just order a new prop from Ed and then make 
this SAE one I have available for loaning if I can't get it drilled.

KR> Props

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

I have a Ted Hendrickson propeller which I acquired from Jerry Robinson of
Yakima,WA. It is drilled for the revmaster prop hub which is  SAE1 with 4
3/8" dia bolt circle. Jerry flew his KR with this prop to Merced, Ca,
Oshkosh and at least one of the gatherings a few years back. The length &
pitch are 52/50. The engine I have, has a VW prop hub with 4" dia. bolt
circle. I would be willing to trade this prop for one with a little less
pitch that would bolt up to the VW prop hub. I was told Ted is retired now,
but I tried to reach him anyway to see if he could re-drill this one just to
use as a test prop, but the number found on the internet for him is no
longer any good. Have any of you seen props drilled for more than one bolt
pattern? I'm wondering if it would be okay for ground testing?

Mark,
Thanks for the info! Now to check around the local area for someone that can
drill and balance it.  Any idea what they get to do a job like that?  I put
my fiber frax and stainless steel on the firewall yesterday and mounted the
engine temporarily. What a pain drilling the stainless or ever cutting it. I
drilled a pilot hole, then stepped up to the larger bit and it just ripped
the metal up. I finally resorted to a greenlee punch. What did you use to
drill and cut your stainless?

KR> Plan #'s

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

Jim,
When I originally bought my plans and kit of wood back in 1985 the purchase
agreement I was sent came in two copies. I was to sign and date it and send
the white copy back to R/R for filing. This first one for the KR2 was Serial
No. KR2 #7427 with master file book no. 67. Then in Feb 1995 I purchased the
KR2S plans, which also came with a purchase agreement, that I signed and
returned a copy to R/R. The new serial No. is KR-2S #542 and the master file
book No. 77. I believe that I only have to present to the FAA
representative, the latest serial number for the KR2S # 542, at the time of
pre-flight inspections. I sure hope no one else has this number.
I have added a couple pictures to my website under the engine and landing
gear heading.
Looking forward to Mt Vernon!

Netters,
A while back I contacted RR asking  what number I should use to register
my KR project.  In the front of my plan book it has Book Number 67 and Plan
number 7501.  The answer I got was ³7501 was register to someone in the Mid
West.²  I wrote back and asked ³how can two people have the same number.  I
got no response.  I finally dug out my receipt for the plans and found that
my receipt was for 7561.  I sent a photo copy  of my receipt and a copy of
my plan book page asking if I should just change the number in my plan book.
I have still never heard from Her.

KR> HAPI Engine Mount

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

Phillip,
In my blue construction manual, Page 98 there is a drawing of an engine
mount with dimensions. I have two engine mounts for my project and neither
one of them are the same dimensions as what is in the book. The one
illustrated in the manual measures; top horizontal width = 7 3/4"  bottom
horizontal width = 8 1/4", the vertical distance is 8 3/4". The great plains
engine mount I have, which bolts up to the Diehl accessory case is
rectangular, 9 1/2" horizontal and 11" vertical. the other mount I have is
narrow at the top and wider at the bottom, width at top is 6 3/4", width at
bottom 10 1/2" ; the vertical distance is approximately 11 3/8". Both of the
engine mounts I have use the same bolt pattern through the firewall. I
believe this last one is a HAPI mount. Hope this helps a little.

KR>Elevator Cable Tension

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

Ken,
I did a search on KR Newsletter CD and found an article that addresses
tension. The newsletter is issue #261 dated April 1999. For 3/32" cable this
article states the tension for Ailerons   25+5-5lbs, Elevators  15+7-3lbs,
Rudder (if closed loop)  15+7-3. In the absence of published instructions,
the author offered these guidelines based on a cross section of certified
airplane control system tensions. If you'll look up this article there are
other suggestion on where and how to measure these tensions.

KR>Turnbuckles

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

I have a question regarding turnbuckle use. I switched from single center
stick to rands dual stick assembly. On my single stick I had the turnbuckles
for the elevator hooked directly to the stick via a AN161-16RS fork this is
also the same as the MS21252-3RS fork. The problem with the dual stick is
that there is not enough play behind where the AN3 bolt goes through which
makes it rub on the floor. I have noticed on some of the posted pictures a
very short cable in-between the stick and the rest of the cable. I think I
could eliminate this extra short cable if I could find a fork that would fit
in the barrel that had 1/2" behind the bolt instead of the 1/4". Any
suggestions?

Different subject, I had a heart attack on the second of November and they
found the blockage and installed a stint in the area to fix the problem. I
told my cardiologist that I am a licensed private pilot and he told me that
the FAA would require me to be grounded a minimum of six months. Have any of
you been through this or know what my responsibilities are in this matter
and just what hoops I am now required to jump through for them? Am I
supposed to notify the FAA when something like this has happened?

Thanks Brian, I dropped my membership to AOPA quit a few years ago, but

KR>medicals

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

Ron & Ken,
Thanks for the feedback! This is encouraging. I think I'll continue working
on completing my KR in the hope of getting my medical back with no problem.
I'm scheduled for a stress test on Jan 9th, so should know more at that
time. Mine was not a violent attack, but heavy chest pain. I went in to
emergency and their tests showed I was having one. So they did the
angioplasty with dye, found the blocked artery then installed a coated stint
to correct the problem. I don't think it really did much damage. Three days
after getting home from the hospital I got a call from my employee laying me
off from my service technician job on Xerox copiers. I think they did me a
favor. I can now concentrate on getting better and put some quality time on
the KR2.

KR>Filling pinholes

[Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff]

To throw another product out there to see if anyone has experience using it
on their project, I'll mention a product that they use and recommend here at
a large paint shop located on Paine Field / Boeing Field in Everett
Washington. This shop paints the majority of the business and corporate
airplanes in the area and also do a great number of the homebuilts in our
area. Our EAA Chapter 84 did a Saturday visit not long ago there. The
product they recommended as a sanding surfacer is Super Koropon by PRC
Desoto. They said they used this on all the composite planes they prepared
to paint. I think it comes from the same supplier here in Woodinville
Washington that supplies Pro Seal and PPG applications.

Hi Dana,
Thanks for all your input and information as you progress on your RV. I
especially like to hear about your experience with this new Dynan unit. It
for sure is pretty cool. Doug Medema, who also is building an RV and is a
member of our local EAA chapter 84, is one of the engineers at Dynan
Development and has one of the units for his RV. He has been our guest
speaker on a couple occasions demonstrating the Dynan unit. It is pretty
impressive!!
