KR> Sorry for the trouble
Glenn, You might let Mark know the names of the other email providers. It sounds like the KRNet may have been added to some blacklists. He'll have to track'em down and request to be removed. They'll test his system to make sure it's not a relay or spambot or whatever and remove it. It's a pain in the butt, I have to do it constantly for several of my customers. It usually happens when people are too lazy to ask to be removed, so they just report it as spam to their ISP's Take care, L.G. -Original Message- From: krnet-boun...@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-boun...@mylist.net] On Behalf Of Glenn Martin Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2012 2:22 PM To: K Rnet Subject: KR> Sorry for the trouble Sorry folks, I ran through 6 email accounts trying to figure out who wouldnt block KRNET, and yahoo free email appears to be the only one that wont.

KR> Fwd: another email to the net
OK Glenn, Looks like I got the first one, a reply from Barrett and another reply from you. I never saw your 4th email from the first test, I saw the first, second, third and fifth. Also a reply from Virg, and a couple of others. Also, that's the first time I can recall seeing my own replies come through back to me. I can't usually tell it's gone through till I've seen a ticked off reply come back (It's a knack). ;-) Take care, hope this helps...

KR> KR2S qualify as LSA?
I think that has all been covered before but basically the KR in ANY form will be certificated under the Experimental Category (Usually the amateur built experimental). There is CAN BE NO such thing as an E-LSA KR because E-LSA is a KIT based on S-LSA. S-LSA is a factory assembled plane that has meet the testing requirements. And (if I'm not mistaken) the E-LSA kit can be delivered in any stage of completion, whereas the experimental category is subject to the 51% rule. However - a sport pilot can still fly the KR provided it meets the performance specifications for LSA craft. Modifications you'd have to make include getting the clean (no-flaps) stall speed low enough and specifying top end numbers the fall within the LSA category. No retracts, etc etc. Biggest hassle is getting the stall low enough, which requires redesign of the wing, etc. Top end numbers can be defined by the builder either through prop selection and or engine operating limits. (Since using an auto conversion such as a vair or VW required you to define engine limits etc. If you use an 0-200 or something similar, you might have a tougher time of it.)

If it (the KR2S) has already been accepted under a standard experimental category, it cannot be converted to E-SLA. I have also read that even certificated aircraft that meet the weight and performance criteria of a SLA (Cub, etc.) can be flown by pilots with the Sport Pilot Certificate. - Original Message - From: "Ed Foster"To: Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 11:31 PM Subject: KR> KR2S qualify as LSA? Gents, I know that the KR2S will weigh in under max gross for LSA. Can it qualify 100% so if needed I could convert from PP SEL to Sport Pilot and keep flying a KR2S? Ed Foster
KR> light sport vs. experimental
I did some checking into this myself. The way I understand it, there are two classes of LSA. Those being S-LSA which are factory built LSA compliant airplanes. These are not "certified" planes, rather are build to accepted standards and are self-regulated by the manufacturer. The prototype is tested and reviewed by the FAA, but then it's up to the manufacturer to maintain build quality without variance from the prototype. The other category is E-LSA which is an "experimental LSA" This category is built from a KIT that is based on an SLSA airplane. In other words, to be classed as an ELSA, there first must be an SLSA version. The ELSA may come in any stage of completion, but no variation from the SLSA prototype is allowed. So, forget an LSA classed version of the KR. So, that leave the only one option available, E-AB. Sport pilots may fly ANY plane (certified(Experimental or otherwise), SLSA, ELSA) provided it meets the regulations for the plane (as Larry said). All the rules for E-AB apply, and as I understand it, since you, as builder, set the operating limits for the plane and there is no "official" language defining VW or Corvair operational limits, you may prop and define the limits as falling within the LSA category. IE: 2500 RPM limit with whatever prop (or appropriate) etc. Doesn't mean the plane can't exceed it, just means you'd be operating outside the defined limits if you do exceed it ( which means, outside the law and probably as important outside insurance coverage). If you get caught.?? The only question I've never really had a satisfactory answer for is - IF I receive and E-AB certificate with stated limits falling within the LSA category, (making it sport eligible) and later re-prop or restate the max RPM or whatever, is it possible to reestablish the operating limits - the certificate never changes it's always E-AB. I've been told yes, probably require another 20-40 hour fly off, and I've been told no, once the limits are defined it's very difficult to change them. The top end issue can be handled by propping/rpm limits on the engine etc. The bigger problem is getting the stall low enough, without flaps or other device. That would require modifying the wing, maybe longer as Mark L suggests or different shape. (At that point, it could be argued that it's no longer a KR anyway.)

I seem to also recall that the builder of a light sport aircraft must attend a class before he can do the "annual inspection" on his aircraft, even though he / she built it. In discussing the pro's and con's with a local LSA builder, the only positive side of licensing it as LSA was that if he ever sold the airplane, the new buyer could attend a class and then do his own inspection. If you're not building to resell, I see no reason to go LSA certification. I also recall there were many restrictions on doing any mod's on a LSA but that may just be on a "kit" built aircraft. If all the above info is correct, license as experimental, get the mechanics certificate for your aircraft, and then fly it as light sport. Your only hurtle will be getting a KR derivative licensed as a LSA. Someone with the correct answers chime in here.

Mark, glad you're safe first of all. Looking forward to a more detailed analysis. Ron, it sure sounds like checking the run-out on the cam & crank gears might be a good idea! L.G.
