Re: KR> Flight Training

[Dan via KRnet]

Hi,

I am new to the KR list. This is great information for me. I am considering 
moving from the Yankee that I currently own as well as an Avid Flyer which is 
even lighter on the controls and a tail dragger to a KR2. Sounds like I might 
not have too much difficulty making the switch.

Thanks,
Dan

I would highly recommend the Yankee.  I owned one for years and it would be a 
much better choice than an RV as they are too easy to fly.  The Yankee is 
fairly quick on the controls, climbs like an anemic kid with a cold but does 
act a lot like a KR except during landing where it sinks like a rock instead of 
floating!!
Just my .02..

An F86 would be ideal.  If that's not available I'd go for one of the lower 
numbered RV's, i.e. 
6,7,8.  The 10 is too big and heavy.  I've heard the Yankee might be good.  If 
you haven't flown much lately I'd suggest you get 10 hours in 30 days in 
anything then go for a ride in something slick and light on the controls like 
the RV series.  First flight in an experimental is not the way to get current 
again.

Biggest thing to remember is rest you arm on your leg or similar, fly with your 
wrist, relax, and fly it like any other airplane.  It will be quick and lighter 
on the controls than most any other airplane but push the stick forward for 
down, back for up, left for left wing down,  etc..  I can tell you got the idea 
already

KR> Speed Brake & Flaps

[Dan Prichard]

I designed the speed brake and flaps to operate separately. Travel time on the 
speed is about 2 seconds to 85 degrees. You can see the flaps operate on 
YouTube. Look for N257DP.  For short field I was planning a spoiler set up as 
you can see in the gathering photos. 
And yes, the plane is still for sale. Lots of tire kickers.

KR> On slime and nitrogen in tires.

[Dan Branstrom]

A note for those using slime in their tires. It is fine on tires that 
use tubes, but if you really want to piss off your local tire dealer, 
use it on tubeless tires. It makes a real mess on the wheel and 
difficult to work on.

The reasons for using nitrogen to fill tires is that it doesn't migrate 
through rubber as fast as air, it expands and contracts less than air 
does when the tire temperature changes, and it contains less water.

I have always thought that an all wood KR would be pretty great.  Also, I do
have to admit, I like the banana boat shape of the KR.  It just needs to be
a little more wide at the shoulders to be a decent 2 place airplane.

Weight to power.  I have always had a lot of problems with VW.  That does
not mean that they are all bad.  I know you do not have those issues and
neither do a lot of others.  If I had a 2200 and was building a KR1, that is

Don't let being a "purist" stand in the way of logic and making a good
decision.  The continental will go 200+ with accessories and neither it or
the Lycombing are suited for the KR1.



I seem to recall Jab's had some early problems but if those have been
resolved it seems you have the answer in your pocket.

KR> Parachutes

[Dan Branstrom]

Some considerations:
First, I'm not a big fan of Cirrus' system on its planes. Why? First, 
let me point out that the descent rate on a Cirrus under a canopy is 
more than a (What is now called) Cessna TTx in a glide. It is for good 
reason that the Cirrus has seats that are designed to cushion a high 
vertical G load in a crash or parachute deployment. A KR has no such 
cushion or crush area under the pilot.

Generally, it is the vertical component of a crash that is a high factor 
in survivability when crashing on a relatively smooth surface. Ya go 
straight in, you're gonna die. If you don't have a crush area under you, 
you may end up a lot shorter.

Next, the Cirrus has a definite deployment envelope. There have been 
several crashes, if I recall correctly, where the airplane was found in 
one spot and the chute in another because, obviously, the chute was 
deployed at high speed and simply ripped away from the fuselage. There 
have also been crashes where someone deployed the chute too close to the 
ground, perhaps to stop a pattern altitude stall/spin event.

I think it's good that Cirrus has apparently started training for 
deployment of the chute, because the fatality rate for Cirrus was 
actually higher than for comparable aircraft. Perhaps it was a 
psychological over-dependence on the chute or a misunderstanding of the 
deployment envelope. The Cirrus is a slick airplane, and it is easy to 
exceed the deployment speed with the nose pointed down.

Another thing to consider when wearing a chute is the ability to get out 
of the plane.  Will your canopy open enough to get out? It is for good 
reason that aerobatic planes usually have a way of ridding the canopy so 
that the person can leave the plane. In the service, we didn't have 
ejection seats, (that tells you how long ago it was) but we did have the 
ability to blow the canopy open. I knew one guy that had a midair in the 
pattern (1200' agl, if I recall) and he made it out successfully, but he 
acted instantly. The other pilot didn't, and died.

Have you practiced getting out of your plane as quickly as possible? 
It's easy to get tangled in seat belts and headset wires, and, in a KR, 
you're sitting with your legs under the instrument panel. Even if you 
roll the plane upside down to fall out, what can hang you up?

Remember that we only hear stories from survivors. The people who didn't 
make it out, or died can't tell us how wonderful their chute was.

KR> FW: Landing gear question

[Dan]

Mark,

I have attached a few drawings for an attachment plates I made and installed
on my KR2S.I cut the Grumman legs from the widest point to 4 1/8"
widening to 5"s, 10's from the top.  Then from that 5" point to 2 1/4" and
the lower end of the gear leg.  It seems to be the right configuration for a
700 lb + aircraft.  With all the folks leaning on my plane at last year's
gathering it held up pretty well.

I have wondered about him myself.  I had not spoke to him in several years
and a while back I tried searching for him, but old number and email did not
work.  Did some searching on the Vans Airforce site and last I found is that
he was selling Black Magic so not sure that he still owns it.  Not sure if
he is still flying anymore either.  Let me know if anyone knows how to get
in touch with him.  Great guy and is certainly missed here.

KR> Facet fuel pump flare?

[Dan Heath]

I have hooked up many facet pumps on both my first and second KR2.  I always
used the standard AN flared tube or AN fittings and they all fit perfectly.
I bought my facets from either Wicks or AS, but I am not sure that would
matter at all.

KR> VW type 1 questions - best reliability

[Dan Heath]

I had a GPASC 2180 back before they realized that the oversized valves were
useless and a detriment.  The replacements that I got from GPASC, were from
EMPI.  If you want good heads, get the ones manufactured under license from
VW, note, that is NOT WW.  The ones that I got were from Brazil with
standard sized valves and never had another problem with them.  However, my
problem was not the same as yours.  The exhaust valves in my heads were
sinking into the head.  The reason was because EMPI makes them with plugs in
the valve recesses, to make it easy to remove after casting.  This, plus the
oversize, causes the exhaust to have less meat around the valve seat, than
is necessary to remove the heat.



So, the message is get the right heads with standard valves and keep them
cool.

KR> W & B

[Dan Heath]

I used the firewall because I figured that it was the least likely point to
change, like tip of spinner that may change every time your old spinner
cracks up and get's replaced.  I don't think the spread sheet really cares
if the numbers you put in are positive or negative.  It will always give you
the right answer if the formula is correct.  Several W & B sheets are
available on this site:

KR> Will Tracy O'Brien wheels work fine with heavier plane?

[Dan Heath]

The one thing I may have done wrong, was to use the larger diameter tubing.  
With my Matco, I use the 1/8" line and it is perfect.  Tracy sent it with the 
brakes, but I had never used a small line like that.  Also, my existing tubing 
was very old.  Thus why I said that it could have been from a bad installation 
on my part.

Gents,

My airplane will be heavier than most of the KR's, max gross will be
1250-1300 lbs. I would like to put Tracy O'Brien's Premium 5" wheels with their 
C90 brakes but these wheels are limited to 1200 lbs. gross according to the 
website. Is there anybody flying a heavier KR with these wheels and if yes, any 
experienced issues?

Always had a problem with my GPS in my KR-2 not operating on aircraft power, 
but ok on internal batteries.  Always made a note to trouble shoot that when I 
got a chance.  Did not need GPS on first flights over the airport.  Today while 
hooking up power for the new flap actuator, I found 2 each AN970-3 fender 
washers on the power control printed circuit board.  One was laying loose on 
top of some components; no problem there, but some bouncing around could create 
some excitement.  The second washer was wedged firmly between a grounded brace 
part of the power panel and the output terminal on the GPS power toggle switch. 
 So, every time GPS power was switched on, the electronic circuit breaker would 
trip and no power for the GPS.  Removed the offending washers and all is well.  
Have no idea how these two big washers got there.  Stuff happens.

So, have possibly toned down the level of excitement for subsequent flights.

Hi,

Is there anybody on the list having experience with a vacuum for
gyro/turn-bank supply generated by the carburetor throttle? If yes, could
you please share it.

KR> Todd's Canopy

[Dan Prichard]

Just got mine from Todd's last month and it's fantastic. I have not detected 
any optical problems. Very clear. I opted for the tinted version. I'm very 
happy with the quality and workmanship.  Be patient with your order. Todd 
always busy.

You're supposed to use stop nuts on the back of the spar but good luck keeping 
resin out of them.

KR> Aileron spar

[Dan Prichard]

I had a few nuts get blocked with resin and flox after attaching the aileron 
spar to the wing. After the resin set I used a 3/32" drill bit to cut through 
the bulk of the overfill then used a tap to clean out the threads. Minimal 
amount of effort.

Good morning and Merry Christmas to my KR Family.  For some of you, it is

The best thing about this little airplane is the Family that comes with it,
and I am so blessed to be a part of it.  Even though I am building another
aircraft now, it isn't the same.  You will always be my KR Family.



Again, Merry Christmas and I pray that you all have a happy and prosperous

At 876 lbs empty I'd be looking for a bigger engine than a VW - especially
at that altitude and with those temps.  Also, I'm pretty sure 3,000 rpm is a
bit low - most of the VW guys seem to go for around 3,400 - 3,600.

No indicator.  I also found that it worked for me, the best, all the way up,
or all the way down.  I got my actuator stuff from Steve Glover and it has
always worked perfectly.  The wiring would be different for each
installation and I don't have my diagrams.

KR> Bleeding brakes

[Dan Heath]

I highly recommend putting the fuel in the wings and leave out the header
tank and make the deck removable.

At one time before I did that on the Black Bird, I got under there and was
afraid that I was not going to be able to get back out and no one was at the
airport that day.

After that and other bad experiences trying to work under there, I would
NEVER build a plane without a removable deck.

On the brake bleeding issue, I also swapped out the masters with the built
in reservoir for those with a remote reservoir that is clear, so you can see
exactly how much fluid you have at any time.

Paul,



I am just curious, when did you order your intake manifold from WW.  It might 
be a good idea to ask him to bring it to CC in Barnwell and I can pick it up 
there and see to it that you get it.  I know you come down this way quite often.



That would be better than your having to borrow one, until WW can ship yours to 
you, then you would have to return the one you borrowed.  



Just saying, since you have already purchased it from WW, I am sure he has it 
ready for you.

Interesting...I never thought you ever would go back to Phase 1.  So let me
pose a question. If that is true and  you make a major change like going
from a VW to a Corvair do you have to go back to Phase 1?

KR> Phase 1 and Phase 2 flight testing

[Dan Heath]

You are going to get 40 hours for phase 1, and unless I am mistaken, you
never get out of phase 2, unless you go back to phase 1 due to major changes
to the aircraft.



You should perform all the basic tests in phase 1 during the 40 hours that
you will have to fly within the area that you are given by your DAR.



This is standard for most experimental aircraft.

Are you using the new airfoil?  If you are, then your rudder post will be 34" s 
above the top longeron or about 44" total. After discussions with Mark L. I 
raise my rudder post up to 40"s making the rudder 50"s overall. I also extended 
the horizontal surface outward. Full width is now 84"s.  Elevator has remained 
the same depth. I'm sure there is some argument about width vs depth because 
the square inch factor would probably be the same. Wider and narrower made more 
sense to me in relation to pitch input.

[Dan Heath]

Having small local/regional meets will work great.  All YOU have to do is to
set it up and DO it.  As Larry has described, hosting a "Gathering" is a lot
of work.  I once set up a small meet in Florida, and I had the only KR
there.  You want it, DO it.  I keep reading about people wanting this, over
many years, and yet, NO ONE has DONE it.  There is nothing stopping you from
doing this.

On my VW with the Zenith carb that had the choke removed I put in primer
nozzles on only the two back cylinders.  I welded small blocks of steel on
the intake tubes and tapped them for the nozzles about an inch from the
heads.  It worked great.  I would think that only two on the Corvair would
be enough also.  Might not start quite as fast as Mark's though.

KR> Thrust line

[Dan Prichard]

I'm not an engineer but I've been in the presence of a few. I was told the 
thrust line is typically in plane with the top longeron.  I set mine at 2.5"s 
below to accommodate the Corvair and the starter. Check out the KRnet Archives. 
Type "thrust line " in the email body section and watch the well of knowledge

I am going to be cutting a thin line in the wing so I can lay electrical
cable to the position lights and strobes at the tips of the wings. The
person I bought the aircraft from didn't run any electrical through the
wings, so I'm thinking of using a dermal to cut a narrow deep line so I can
lay the cord without having to dig through the spar and what not. Then I
plan on filling in the hole with foam and re-applying fiberglass.



It was suggested that instead of placing it on the leading edge, that I
place the cut under the wing.

KR> Carb Recommendation

[Dan Prichard]

Rotec has upgraded their TBI to the Mark 4. The diaphragm is now attached to 
the unit and upgrades all around. I bought the Rotec because of space issues 
and Elison has stopped production. I had it available at the gathering for 
folks to look at I hope to have it installed and running soon. I'll post my 
"new and out of the box" report then.

I believe that is the way most RV builders do it.  Vans has a kit for that.

-Original Message-

To pressure test a tank you use a pressure gauge connected to a T fitting
screwed in to the tank.
One of the T connections to the tank
Another to the pressure gauge
The third to the valve
Open the valve to allow air to go in to the tank Close the valve and make
sure the pressure doesnt drop after a set time say 24 hours.
Open valve to vent the tank and then unscrew the T.

KR> Glassing Tiger Gear legs

[Dan Prichard]

I did not thin them out. I dialed in the flex I thought would work by reducing 
the width. I read of an earlier KR2 which the builder simply cut the leg down 
the middle. He said they worked just fine. His KR was a 900 # plane. From that 
point I knew my plane was going towards the 1250 # GW range. Applied some 
simple math and there you go. The flex and deflection seam right. If I find 
them to be to stiff I'll cut the down. If it's not stiff enough I'll use the 
other set of legs I bought and start again. At that price you can experiment 
some.

[Dan Prichard]

I want to put everyone at ease. I'm not out of pocket on any thing concerning 
the gathering. I did use my money along with the funds sent by Larry to keep 
the gathering machine moving forward. I never felt at risk or uneasy about the 
funds and I was confident the good KR folks would cover the expenses. Donations 
are still coming and Im confident that all the monies sent by Larry and Steve 
will be returned to the gathering fund. I didn't even know there was a fund 
when I volunteered to host this year. It's all working out just fine. Thanks

KR> 2015 Gathering

[Dan Heath]

I have always made a generous contribution to the HAT, in the past.
However, I have never in the past paid fees to attend.  I prefer the "HAT",
but either way is good for me, but do we really need to pay fees and pass
the hat?

It is worth noting that we simply forgot the customary passing of the hat
during the KR Banquet.  The passing of the hat is typically done to assure
some funding for next year's gathering.  I know I intended to add a
substantial donation, and had told DAn I would remind him during the
banquet.  So, I'll put Dan Prichard's PayPal address out here.  To donate to
the KR Gathering, you can send funds to Dan via PayPal at
[dprich01 at comcast.net].

KR> 2015 Gathering

[Dan Prichard]

Now that things have calmed down a bit I would like to say thanks to all those 
who attended the 2015 Gathering @MMV. It was a pleasure to host this years 
event and hope to see everyone at next years gathering where ever that may be. 
I don't think I could have pulled this off without the help of John Bouyea and 
my wife Marsha. And thanks to all of those who pitched in to help. A special 
thanks to Larry Flesner for taking on the grill and sharing his poems with the 
group. Both Mark Langford and Jeff Scott did a great job in educating the 
masses in fiberglass techniques and weight / balance. Jeff Bertuleit's 
propeller lecture was excellent and very informative as was the presentation 
from Kurt @ Dynon. 
We hope to have a full account of the funds by this weekend. Doesn't look like 
we broke even but we still have 4 shirts to sell and some have promised 
donations. If you would like to donate to the Gathering General Fund you can 
send it through PayPal to my email. Dprich01 at comcast.net

Thanks again for letting me host the 2015 Gathering

That is how we get the bulk of our rainfall here in the Southwest.  The good
news is that you can see them from some distance while airborne, so are easy
to fly around.  But they do wreak havoc on the ground.

KR> WAS - Diehl nose gear spring locator tube.

[Dan Heath]

WOW!!!  EFS-2.  Most of you can not know what an awesome thing this is for
the VW flyers.  These carbs are the best thing for the VW that you could ask
for.  I put one on my first KR and it was "plug and chug".  There are three
tuning steps that take less than 30 minutes total and you will never have
carb problems again.  These have become virtually impossible to get since
Ellison quit making them.

If you ever use an Ellison on your VW, you will never want for any other
carb.  It is a pay me now, or pay me later in money and frustration, so get
this when it is available, treasure it, and have no concern for what it may
cost as it will pay you back many times over.

As the Ausies say, Steve, GOOD ON YA.

Carbs - Since purchasing Ellison Fluid Systems we have been busy with shop
renovations, servicing and overhauls. We have a batch of EFS-2's nearly
ready for assembly.  The bodies are back from the platers so they just need
assembly. We will have several on the shelf soon if anyone is interested.

KR> Dacron substitute

[Dan Prichard]

If the nylon you're looking at is water or wind resistant then its coated with 
silicone. Don't use that. Any fiberglass supply shop will have some sort of 
peel ply. Prices vary. Tap Plastics, fiber lay, US composites etc. 
I bought mine from a.s after picking up a few samples from local fabric stores. 
The peel ply from a.s has worked the best for me and was cheaper. Good luck

Long range weather forecast shows mostly sunny, temps in the upper 70's to low 
80's, evening low near 53.  
Winds will be out of the NW around 10 kts. Looking good. 
We do have some fires in the area with light smoke in the Willamette Valley.

I have had both and the Corvair is more powerful and trouble free than is
the VW, in my opinion.



Also, I am going to a new aircraft with a different engine, so have my
Corvair engine for sale.  So, no problem finding one.

Hey Jon, I am new to the net, I have heard a lot about the Corvair engine.

I just bought a KR-1 and a KR-2 both have VW. How does the Corvair compare?

Are Corvair engines hard to find?

Hi guys,
Monday we will do a weight and balance check to calculate the engine
position. We did build a KR-2 but did extend the tail like an kr2-s,  have
the old kr2 wings but with the extension like the kr2-s. Fire wall is
reinforced for the more powerful engine but have no two inch extension to
the front. Can you guys give me the advice what you should use for the fwd
and aft gravity point? I think I can use the drawing dimensions. Result will
be more space after the engine.

Getting close, 24 days. Things are moving well on this end and the excitement

>>I'm  looking for a suggestion on how to put a bulkhead fitting for my fuel
line though my center spar. All the ones in the book are for thin metal
bulkheads. Not two inch wood. I   don't  want to just RTV a piece  of tubing
in. <<
