KR> Builders in Ireland

[Glenda McElwee]

I am sorry I did not get back with you.  I went out of state for a weekend 
wedding and did not get a chance to check my Emails.

I am going to spend a week in Ireland next March and I was wondering if there 
were any builders I could go see. 

Thanks for responding.

I'm running a Revmaster engine in my KR.  I have a volt meter but no ammeter. 
When I run engine a 3000 RPMs it charges 16.5 volts. I don't want to boil the

Does anyone else using the Revmaster set up have any trouble with it.  If so 
what is your solution?

KR> Phillip Matheson's Visit to Florida.

[Glenda McElwee]

Friends,

 I wanted to publically thank Phillip for his assistance on my KR2.  In 
between journeys to visit museums and cities, we worked on my KR2.  On more 
than one occasion, I got up at 7:30 and went out to the shop to find that 
Phillip had already been working for some time.   See my update pages at 
www.awesometrvl.com.

 Phil is also a excellent pilot.  I did a check-out for him in a Piper 
Cadet, then we did some cross country to Cannon Creek.   See Phillip's landing 
on a 25' wide runway at 
http://www.awesometrvl.com/cannon_creek_airpark.htm

    If anyone else ever needs assistance with camping gear at Oshkosh, send me 
an email.  It was a great experience.

    I am trying to get as much done on my plane as possible before the 
Gathering.  I will be camping there Friday and Saturday.

    Weather permitting, Bill Clapp will be there also.

KR> FiberFrax

[Glenda McElwee]

Either thickness will withstand the same temperature without being destroyed, 
but the 1/8 in thickness will provide a slightly longer time before the wood 
heats up.  That translates into more time to get the fire out and get the plane 
on the ground.

I see both 1/8 and 1/16 thickness, and the description says that it
withstands 2300 degrees, but does not differentiate between the thicknesses.
If one works just as well as the other, 1/16 is 1/3 the price.  Any thoughts
on this?

KR> Re: tubular wing tanks

[Glenda McElwee]

Bill Clapp has developed an alum.version of his original PVC tanks.  I believe 
he still has the PVC tanks in his plane.  Most people have not noticed any 
smell from fuel unless the tank is full and the vent is overflowing.  

I have the same PVC tanks in my wings.   Alum tanks will affect embedded 
antennas in the wings.

I want to use METAL irrigation tubing.  The plastic bothers me because it gets

Sloshing is NOT an issue in a tubular tank.  The Yankees uses long tubular

Hey Guys,
   Yesterday was the 4 year anniversary of my first flight in 357CJ. The day 
was the clearest that we have experienced this year. The air was crisp and 
cool. The time was right to to experience my childhood dream once again. she 
fired up and ran great in the fall air. The climb was still exhilarating at a 
solid 1300'/min at about 100 mph. With no real place to go on a georges evening 
I headed back to my work site and circled for a bit and then headed in the 
general direction of NYC and climbed to 7500' while looking at Philly 40 miles 
to the south and just about able to count the windows in the tall buildings. At 
about 80 miles from NYC the Manhattan skyline came into view while I was still 
able to clearly see Philly. While up there I did a test run for true airspeed 
to  check against my numbers from my original testing. I did a little hot air 
balloon chasing and returned home for another 9 tenths of an hour in the log 
book. The total time after 4
 good years is at 436.2 hours and somewhere around 700 landings. 
A good time was had by all, namely me!   Keep building guys.
Joe Horton,
Coopersburg, Pa.

KR> O2 Requirements

[glenda mcelwee]

 The military requirements for oxygen are more strict than the FAA's 
requirements.  Military pilots are younger and in better physical shape that 
the average civilian pilot.  If they need oxygen, it's a good idea for us as 
well.

     Each individual is affected differently by the lack of sufficient oxygen.  
Take a High Altitude Physiology Course such as offered by the FAA in Oklahoma 
City or The one at  
the Aviation Physiology Training Unit at Tyndall AFB in Florida. ( See my web 
page:
 http://www.awesometrvl.com/high_altitude_flight_physiology.htm )

 In a training course, each person gets to see the effects of oxygen 
deprivation on themselves.  Ability to do simple math and reasoning problems, 
color blindness, loss of coordination, etc..  It will make you a believer in 
oxygen systems.

KR> Re: Oshkosh

[glenda mcelwee]

 I just returned from Oshkosh last night and got on the internet. I drove 
again this year and stayed for the whole event.  Once again it was wonderful.  
I have always camped at the YMCA because of all the benefits it offers. (Hot 
Tub, Swimming pool, Ice Skating, Gym, etc.) 

 My KR2 is not flying yet (but getting real close),  partially because I 
have spent a total of 49 days at Oshkosh and another 28 days total driving back 
and forth.  Those 77 days could have put me flying by now.  In spite of this I 
will attend next year. for the full seven days.

 Oshkosh provides technical information.  The forums provide an exchange of 
information that is invaluable. Mark Langford's talk on KR2s was a must see.  I 
attented many other seminars on building and flying.  I visited WW's tent 
several times.  I spent time in the AeroMax tent with Bill.  I had several 
talks with Gus at the Zenith tent,  I stoped by the Maxwell Propulsion Systems 
booth to look at their latest offerings.

 The social aspect is great.  You literally see and talk with people from 
all over the world.  Unlike flyins for specific planes you can meet people 
flying other types. This year I talked with Willie about KR2s in South Africa 
and also talked with a gentleman from Israel about his Cozy Mk 4.  A friend 
from Canada joined me for a couple of days.  

 Anyone with children or grandchildren knows Oshkosh is a great place to 
bring children to inspire them about aviation.  Most of us have greying hair.  
Unless we get younger generations involved in flying,  we will be the last 
generation to enjoy general aviation.

 I belong to both the EAA and AOPA.  Both groups have people in Washington 
presenting our side of general aviation to the law-makers. It is partially 
because of the number of members the EAA and AOPA have that law-makers listen 
to them.  Without our support of these orginzations fighting for our rights, we 
will soon see increased restrictions and fees put into place.

     I hope to see you all at next years AirVenture 2010.

KR> knock sensor

[glenda mcelwee]

I am going to test knock sensors on my Corvair.  The standard knock sensor is 
little more than a crystal microphone.  It picks up noise and turns it into an 
analog signal.  The amplifier I am using has variable gain and sends the output 
to a comparator circuit to switch the light on with increased levels of noise. 
(knock)  This is the first step to going an electronic ignition system with 
automatic ignition retard.
I have to finish installing my engine in the plane before I test the setup.  
Probably will be testing in January. I will post all the information on my 
website as soon as I start testing.  I will post info to the list at that time.

KR> What are my Corvair engine cowling options?

[glenda mcelwee]

Greg;

  William Wynne's KR2 cowling can be modified to fit various widths.  My KR2 
has a smaller firewall than Bill's.  I was able to easily take some out of the 
width.  See my website. www.awesometrvl.com for details.  You could use the 
same technique to add width as needed.  (William's cowling has some extra 
material you trim off.  This will help adjust for size.)

GREG FISHER  wrote:
  I am building a widened KR-2S with a planned Corvair 2700. As I pencil out my 
dimensions I have widened the firewall a tad as well, then thought I better 
check first to see if that is wise. I think I need to understand my engine cowl 
options before I commit to a firewall size and shape. I am hoping that I do not 
have to create my own cowl design, that I can buy a commercially available one 
or ride on somebodies coat tails. 

What are my Corvair engine cowling options? Is there a mold available I could 
borrow? Is there one developed that would work for my applications that I could 
purchase? Are there drawings or diminsions available so I can insure my 
fuselage shape fairs smoothly into the cowl's line? 

Or should I purchase a nose bowl and plan on designing and fabricating a cowl 
myself. I can imagine this would be a pretty good project all by itself.

KR> serious information for Corvair builders

[glenda mcelwee]

Much of the post from William is a recap of old posts so all the information is 
there.  If the information keeps us all safer as we fly it is great news.  To 
chang out the crank will not take more than a weekend.  It's much cheaper than 
maintance AD's on aircraft engines.

  Those who are building or flying Corvair engines should read William's 
latest technical report on the crankshaft, at

It's long and the news isn't great, but if you're planning to fly behind a 
Corvair, better take a look.
