KR> Landing Gear legs
Hi Folks I was looking in to the landing gear for a Kr2S. The boat is going to be 6" wider then the stock plans. I was looking at the NVaero site and they have the castings for the Deli gear which because they have no picture I am guessing I would still need to make the actual legs. they also do not specify if the castings they sell are priced each or for the pair. I then came across this which is made from Material: 7075-T6 Aluminum KR2 One Piece Landing Gear The airport I have access to for the moment is a grass strip and I was thinking the aluminum may act as a bit of a shock suppressor and may be lighter then the wood/glass that others have used. Would I be ahead to bend something like this in the press brake or go the Deli Gear route? Also I was thinking of going with MATCO brakes as per NVAERO or am I better off with Cleveland or some other brand. I also noted on Mark Landfords site that he played with wheel sizes. What is the overall consences with respect to tire size? Thanks Stan
KR> Kr2s Engine?
Recently I noted a video on youtube where a guy has an o200 in his aircraft and he does a take off and short flight and lands. Located here->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP5Uu7pSmqc I asked him about the speeds and he has indicated that they are as follows-> Propeller warp drive 70 inch with very step -2100 RPM ground - 2,750 max in flight Economic cruise cruise 200 kmh -2200 RPM 17 liters now. Maximum speed of this propeller configuration with 270 kmh Therefore I am wonder if the Corvair isnt the better choice based on Mark Landfords spec which are; # Fuel capacity: 16 gallons # Top speed: 191 mph TAS (true airspeed) with 3100cc Corvair engine and Sensenich 54x54 prop (turning almost 4000 rpm), 184 mph TAS with Sensenich 54x58 (but turning only 3400 rpm, and burning less fuel). # Fuel consumption: I get 42 mpg while flying at 160 mph TAS at 10,000' running "lean of peak", which is how I always fly at altitude. # Stall speed: 57 mph with split flaps deployed, 62 mph "clean" Based on the above wouldn't the Corvair seem to be the better choice? What is the advantage of the o200 vs the Corvair or the Corvair over the o200? What is the time between overhaul on a Corvair? Thanks Stan

Does anyone have a drawing (dimensions) for the continental engine mount used in a KR2S?

KR> major change or minor change
Comes down to weight and balance. Mark did some mods to his corvair aircraft and gained about 10 hp. On the other hand you could compare a VW powered KR2s vs on powered by a corvair and the weight difference is offset by the increase in power and the fact that your not working the larger engine as hard therefore the reliability should go up. With the corvair engine hower you have to worry about the crank breaking. THe crank issue however has been resolved with the new 4130 crank.

KR> Fuel tank pressure test
Yes you use a regulator on the air line or use a hand pump or be quick on the disconnect. Your air compressor may have 150 lbs in the tank but you can still manage to fill a tire with 35. You would only need 2 lbs air to test the tank and if your in a hurry to do a bunch you could put the tank under test in a tank of water and look for bubbles. As already pointed out the balloon idea will change pressure with temperature and there really is no way to know if it truly is as large as it was 2 hours before. The gauge method I wrote on however is accurate as the gauge doesn't lye.

KR> Comparison of Carbon Fiber, Kevlar (Aramid) and E Glass used in Composites for Boat building.
Although this is for boats I thought it might be of interest to the list for aircraft * Comparison of Carbon Fiber, Kevlar (Aramid) and E Glass used in Composites for Boatbuilding.* *For more detailed description of the characteristics of Kevlar and Carbon Fiber follow the links at the top.* *Epoxy* Your can't talk about composite fibers without introducing epoxy. Epoxy is used to bind whatever strengthening fiber is being used and to lock them in position so they can stay in position to do their job. Fiber reinforced structures usually have the fibers running in specific directions to focus the reinforcement where it is needed and the epoxy keeps the fibers where they are needed. Although the main purpose of the epoxy matrix is to adhere to and transfer the loads to the fibers it is a strong material in its own right. It helps protect the fibers from damage and provides impact resistance. Polyepoxide or as it is better known Epoxy, is a thermosetting network polymer which forms when an epoxyide resin reacts with a polyamine hardener. The resulting Epoxy polymer is heavily cross linked (networked), and thus strong, hard and rigid. It is also somewhat brittle. Epoxy has found a wide range of applications, including fiber-reinforced plastic materials, general purpose adhesives and strong chemically resistant coatings and finishes. Although epoxy bond mechanically if the surfaces are rough, the strongest bond is by far an ionic bond with its reinforcing fibers. That's why not all fibres are suitable as epoxy composite. The epoxy simply does not stick to everything. Epoxy has proved to be a relatively safe material. The main risk associated with epoxy use is sensitization to the hardener which can result in serious allergic reactions, which can occur even after a few days. This can become asthma in sensitive individuals. Bisphenol A, which is used in epoxy resin, is a known endocrine disruptor. It's always better to protect yourself by working with gloves and at the very least have a well ventilated area. Respirators are helpful if you have a tendency to react to chemicals. Cured Epoxy is very resistant but will degrade if exposed to UV. The surface becomes chalky and looses strength. For this reason it needs to be coated with UV protection. Epoxy strength is degraded when exposed to higher temperatures. Over 350 ?F (177 ?C). ** *Tensile Strength* *Tensile Strength* Tensile Strength is the maximum stress that a material can withstand, while being stretched, before if fails. Some non brittle material distorts before breaking, but Kevlar, Carbon Fiber and E glass are brittle and fail with almost no distortion. It is measured in Force per unit area: Pa or Pascals. Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) or ultimate strength are terms also used. Stress is the force, strain is the deflection due to stress. *Comparing the Tensile Strength of E Glass, Carbon Fiber and Kevlar (Aramid) MPa* Note: These figures are for comparison purpose. They can vary with the manufacturing process, composition of the epoxy, formulation of the aramid, precursor fibre for the Carbon fiber. Fibre Strength Laminate Strength E Glass 3450 1500 Carbon Fiber 4127 1600 Kevlar 2757 1430 Epoxy N/A 12-40 The tensile strength of Carbon Fiber, Kevlar and Glass is similar. This comes as quite a surprise to many people. When making comparisons it's important to note that there are differences in each of the materials in manufacturing processes, precursor materials, and after-treatments. These all influence the strength. The figures are given for comparison only, The figures given in this article mostly come from Wikipedia and from the spec sheets of manufacturing companies. In the end if *Tensile Strength* is your only concern, use e glass. ** ** ** ** *Density and Strength to Weight Ratio* *Weight per Unit Volume or Density of Carbon fibre, Kevlar, and E Glass* The Denser a material is the heavier it will feel for an equal sized chunk. When we compare the density of our 3 materials we see a significant difference. If we make up 3 samples exactly the same size and weight them we quickly see that Kevlar fiber is much lighter, Carbon Fibre is next and the E Glass is the heaviest. So for the same weight of composite we get more strength. In other words, any structure where we require a given strength can be smaller, or thinner if made out of carbon fiber or Kevlar composite than if made out of glass. If you wanted to do this comparison for yourself you could prepare 3 samples of exactly the same size. After weighting them you would then test them for strength. Once you looked at your results you would see that the strength of the 3 samples is about the same. You would also find that the Glass composite is almost twice as heavy as the Kevlar or the Carbon Fiber Laminates. In other words it takes half as much Carbon or Aramid fiber to get the same
KR> Carb Recommendation
Good Evening fellow Kr People. Last week I had the pleasure of going for a ride in a KR2S aircraft at the Oshawa airport. Upon inspection of the aircraft which was built and flown by /Chris Gardiner. /His craftsmanship and attention to detail gave me KR fever. His aircraft was a solid well build VW powered aircraft. I am now looking at carburetors for my 110 hp engine which currently is in a car. From the reading and talking to others it would seem that several carbs are an option and as such I would ask that anyone who has tested them give me and the list some feedback as to the experience good or bad with the following list or any others that have been tested.

KR> Save the Edmonton City Center Airport
Good Morning. I would like to seek your assistance in saving the Edmonton City Center airport. I am aware that the airport is closed but would like to ask your assistance by signing the petition, the link of which is at the bottom of this I have attached a list of legal reasons why the airport decision should be reversed. The decision can be reversed legally and we can save the airport even though it has been closed and some of the runway removed. The reasons are simple. 1.The government, both Federally and Provincially as well as locally as a duty to public safety and well being. By first closing the airports only ILS runway they removed a safety net for aircraft which could make use of the system in bad weather. This ILS system could be used by both conventional pilots as well as Medivac flights in an emergency. Secondly they closed the remaining runway which put anyone in a flight emergency at risk (low fuel or aircraft malfunction which put passengers and flight crew of any aircraft en-route to another location at risk but more importantly anyone in need of medical assistance/care could have had quick access to medical services without the added driving delays from going from the international airport. The idea of using slower helicopters which are not permitted to fly in icy conditions is a bad decision. The travel time by road is also not a good alternative due to the time delay in getting from the international airport to Edmonton is at least 45 min in good weather and increases with winter or rain conditions which may even close sections of the road or have delays because of an automotive accident that happened before or during the road trip to the medical facilities located within Edmonton. 2 We know that 737 aircraft have traveled into the City Center Airport in the past and therefore placing a 10 seat limit on any aircraft making use of the City Center Airport was a deliberate ploy to reduce the number of aircraft that could make use of the airport. This again caused travelers to incur additional travel times from the international airport and in many cases even increased expenditures by those wishing to make use of the airport and in many cases the trips are now canceled or driven by road which further decreased revenue into the City Center Airport as well as Edmonton. 3. Edmonton used to have easy access to bus terminal/tax and train systems within walking distance of the airport and again these other businesses were moved to other locations which would decrease the convenience of the airport. 4. The Edmonton Airport Authority is involved in the re-development of the airport which is not it's mandate. The airport authority is working with other airports and some of the people involved are also working in land development or working with those who are which is a conflict of interest and some other airports have also suffered reduced use and or closure by the same tactics outlined here. 5. It has been stated that the property in part that is / was the City Center Airport was the "Hangman Farm" and the property was acquired by seizing it for back owed taxes. Other reports states that that area of land was given to the city from the Hudson's Bay Company and therefore although the city may in fact currently be the holder of the property. The property was once used as a Military Bases during the war and is a key element in the history of the war and in Canada having been the first licensed "airport" in Canada. Other lands around the area were expropriated to allow the airport to expand. Typically these lands are to be returned to the family when the land use is no longer required, and therefore the land in and around may in fact not all belong to the city. 6. Various statutes require that the people have a vote as to the use of "public" assets due to the fact that the city gains all of its revenue by way of the people, without taxes and fee based use the city would have no money in which to operate. The city did a vote in the past and the vote according to the records was in favor of keeping the airport open for public use as well as to meet the medical needs of the people. When a second vote was put forth in 2009 city officials or Airport Authorities removed some names who were in favor of the airport remaining in service in order to skew the vote. 7. The city, and more importantly the Federal Government, have the ability to expropriate land if it is in the best interest of the public's safety and wellbeing. Look at the ring road that goes around Edmonton, similar roads are used around most cities in Canada. A ring road is far less important than an airport which is within 5 min of a medical center and I would state that increasing the travel time to an airport in an emergency medical situation is not in the best interest of the public. 8. Airports unless private are airports to which everyone has a right to use, therefore

KR> Pressure testing my wing tanks
On 2014-01-30 10:03 AM, ppaulvsk at aol.com wrote: simple way is to have a pressure gauge on the fitting with a t joint one line to the tank the other to the air in and a shut off valve so you can remove the air once the pressure reaches 2 lbs which you have a regulator on the air line to not allow more then 2 lbs the third to the gauge pressurize the tank to 2 lbs or so and see if the gauge drops. To much pressure and you will distort the tank or better still blow it up :) While waiting for the gauge to drop spray all the seems with soapy water. if you don't find a leak but the gauge has dropped repeat the process.

KR> Cad Files for KR2S?
Does anyone have the cad files (DWG or DXF) for the side of the aircraft and the firewall. I can cad them but if someone already has done this then it would save me having to do it as well as the space needed to layout the paperwork? I want to modify it as per Marks page Thanks Stan
