Hello KR netters...

Does anyone have an idea how much an outboard 5048 wing might weigh?
(Primed, not painted, with or no wing tanks.)

KR> Xpdr antenna

[GaryH]

According to AeroElectric Connection p 13-11, transponder ground plane of 5
1/2 inch diameter is sufficient.  Thickness should be sufficient to support
the antenna and cable attached to BNC.

Yep.  Very easy.  I cut out the bottom of an aluminum pie plate.  It's
worked well.  Be sure and keep the antenna clean.  Mounted below it picks
up exhaust debris.  It's surprising how a light coating of exhaust stuff
will cause mode c problems - to the extent that some people will think
their transponder is failing.

Dan,



You probably did not find a number, because there probably isn't one.  This
subject has come up over the years, in fact, back in the day, I asked the
same question.  The rule that I have always followed, is NO slop, and not so
tight that it is going to break anything.  That is advice, not direct
knowledge.



Hey, any more information on the Gathering.  What hotel is going to the

It's their placement when loaded for flight that is of primary 
concern.  Put them too far to the rear and it will be more difficult 
to rotate of takeoff.  One lightweight aircraft that we all know 
won't even set with the nose wheel on the ground without the pilot on 
board.  If loading and unloading is a problem a retractable tail 
stand might be in order.  The B-24 puts out a pogo stick when parked.

Netters,
What are your opinions on using an O-290-D Lycoming for the KR2-S?
(approximately 230-260 lbs dry weight and 125hp at 2600 and 130hp at 2800).
The weight is about the same as the Corvair, but the horsepower is a bit
more. What do you think?

KR> Building washout into the wing.

So if I understand this correctly, the plans I have show both spars angled
up 5 inches at the ends.  Then the wing rib templates are configured to
provide the correct incidence and washout.

I see no one has answered your question.  Setting the angles on the spars is
what creates the correct washout.  Once that is done, and you keep it that
way through the installation of the foam, sanding, and glass layup, it will
be right in the end.

I have not ever had to do this because both of my KRs came to me as projects
that already had this done, but that is how I understand it is done.

Someone who knows otherwise, please advise.

For the longerons I planed it to 5/8" thickness (left the height at 3/4",
dampened the longerons and bent gradually over several days in
assembling/shaping the fuselog: no cracks/splits. 

 Laminated the spars ;do not want to cut spars from thicker pieces due to

About 15% heavier and stronger than sitka spruce, a little over build/safety
