KR> CC21
This isn't really KR related so please forgive me. Those of you who were at the Corvair College at Barnwell last year or this year will probably remember seeing Michael Oberlies. He is the man who always works with me on the barbeque for Saturday dinner, he is also a Pietenpol builder. This morning while cleaning up after last nights dinner he received a call from his ex telling him his son had been shot in the head and was being flown to the trauma center in Huntsville AL. We immediately left the airport and made arrangements to fly to Alabama ASAP within the hour. Unfortunately before we could get to our home field we found out his son had passed. I can't imagine how Michael must feel right now having to make plans to bury his oldest child. I would like to ask the community here to please remember Michael and his family in their prayers. I would also like to ask everyone on the list to take a minute to call or hug your child or children today as I have. You never know what life might throw at you, take a minute to let your kids know you are there for them when they need you. John

-Original Message- Bob Glidden > >The FAA also says that we are responsible to self assess ourselves on rather >or not we are medically fit to fly rather we qualify for a medical or not, >and if you have failed a FAA medical you do not qualify for LSA. I never lost my medical nor should I, there is no rule that says I have to surrender my medical only that I have to ground myself, per AOPA Aeromedical Division. Since my heart attack I have been watching my diet and exercising and am in better physical shape than I have been in 20 years. I just don't have the money to have a stress test every year and loose my medical for 1 or 2 months while waiting on the FAA to review my doctors report. I am fortunate that my cardiologist is a pilot,the only one in the practice and friends with my flight surgeon I will probably jump through all the hoops this year just so I can fly until I get an LSA then let it laps after that. In no way would I let my love of flight get in the way of sound judgment when it comes to others. My attack happened while in flight at night with my daughter and son-in-law on board. Neither of them have a clue how to fly. What if I my heart had stopped while up there? 3/4 of the family gone all at one time, I think of that every day. As to building my KR to light sport rules, I thought about that a lot. my chief concern is the fact that I already built it for the AS5046 wings. You guys know better than me though. If someone could give me an idea of how much longer I have to make the wings to get the stall speed down and slow the top speed down I would appreciate it. I haven't installed my gear yet, maybe I could go with tricycle gear to help the top speed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I can keep my other child after all. Thanks in advance, John
KR> KR2S for sale
Well guys, I hate to do it but I need to get rid of my KR2s. After I had my heart attach last year I don't want to keep jumping through the FAA stress test hoop every year to keep my medical. What I have is a Langford KR2S extended 14 inches with AS5046 Airfoils. I bought the Wix kit when I started so most everything is there to finish the Airframe plywood, both mahogany and birch spruce for outer wing spars foam ETC. Currently she is in the boat stage with completed tail section. I have also fabricated much of the control assemblies bell cranks as well as the WAF which were CNC cut at a local shop. Landing gear attach fittings also CNC cut and many many other items , to much to list here. I am keeping my 3 corvair cores for use in my future LSA homebuilt. All the parts and assemblies are here at my shop in Cameron SC, if you would like to look at them . I can also send any pictures you would like to see if you contact me off list. I will not separate these parts, mainly because I will have to remove a wall in my back room to get her out, so it's all or nothing. The workmanship is excellent this would give someone a huge head start in building there KR for about the cost of the basic kit. I really hate to give her up, but it's time to move on to something low and slow. John Godwin

Mark, I wasn't there for this photo because it was supposed to be taken after we left Saturday, but I happen to know that there is a photo of the same beautiful young lady with Steve Glover that Roy Szarafinski took. They were both sitting on the ground together and I can promise you that if Steve's smile was any bigger his teeth would have fallen out of his head.

KR> Jim and Deb Faughn
I just thought I would let you guys know that my wife and I met up with Jim and Deb Faughn in Charleston SC. yesterday. We met them at the marina around 12:00 and spent the day with them talking about sailing and KRs. and enjoying the sights, sounds and drinks that Charleston had to offer. We topped off the evening at my wife's favorite little Irish pub in downtown Charleston, Tommy Condons. Jim says that he misses all of the KR crew but not enough to stop sailing. If you want to follow Jim and Debs progress go to their web site at http://members.socket.net/~jfaughn/ and look at the log section. He will post some pictures of our visit in a few days. If any of you live near one of their ports of call, I highly recommend you look them up. They are a blast. I learned a lot about kR building and flying from Jim and I am looking forward to using it on my KR. John Godwin jg7...@mindspring.com

KR> Firewall
I am having a little trouble figuring out something and I was hoping you guys could help. I turned my fuselage over last night and am about to install my longeron doublers. My question is, with the upper longerons at an angle because of the angle of the fuselage how do I attach the doublers? Do I install the doubler and then plane them both level, or do I plane the first longeron level and then square the side before i install the doubler? The plans show the main longeron planed off level on the top and squared on the inside and the doubler glued to it, but it shows the doubler as smaller than the longeron which would mean it wasn't 5/8. Maybe I am just being anal again but I haven't done this before and I don't want to compromise the strength of the longerons. Also if anyone has a good picture of there firewall before they put on the plywood so I can see what you did I would really appreciate it. Thanks fore ant help in advance guys, I am waiting for your response.

This question is primarily to Mark but anyone please chime in. I am just getting started on my 2S and am planning on lengthening the fuselage by 14 inches by adding one bay aft.
