I have a stocked KR2 with retract gear. It was built in 1984. I purchased it in 2000 got it flying in 2002. It takes about 30 seconds to learn to pitch control just says switching from a Cessna 172 over to a piper warrior each plane flies are all different I flown mine back to Oshkosh twice Mount Vernon once have over 400 hours on it.

Re: KR> RAF-48
With all that being said, Dan Diehl once told me that he would build another KR2 and change the angle of attack of the RAF airfoil by 2 degrees, so the speed of the plane would not make it “Plow” through the air. And increase airspeed by the loss of drag.

KR> Alright it’s time to change the thread....
I fly a standard KR2, built in 84. (1984). Retracts and everything. I can have flown it to the Gathering in Mt. Vernon once and Oshkosh twice. I have over 400 hours on it, and it is great to fly. I followed the net for a year while I was updating the plane from lack of use and it had not flown in the several years. In that time people told me I should get rid if the retractable gear and go with fixed, I even bought a fixed gear set up. I decided that since the plane had the update on the retractable gear, that I should try to fly it as is. I love the set up and yes it took about ten minutes to get use to the plane, cuz I was flying a super cub at the time. That being said, I did fix/repair the plane that landed on an island in Washington and flipped upside down. The gentleman that owned the plane and paid me to fix it sold it to a guy in NM. It took me a week or two to get use to the steering of a nose dragger. Once I was good on the ground I flew it to NM. It was like night and day to mine. It flew like a champ. Straight and level, and really smooth. With all of that being said, and after talking to several people at the last gathering, it pains me to see so many people who like the KR2 and want to re-invent the wheel. ie. Bigger engine, longer plane, fixed gear, yada yada yada. The retractable gear is cool, but I can see the benefits of a fixed gear if building a new plane. With all of that being said, let’s go back to why the KR is desirable, Cheap and easy to build. My plane has a VW engine on it I don’t know if I would go with a Corvair but if I were to rebuild I might consider an O-200. I think all you would need is a 100hp plane. Keep it simple and light, like Ken designed. My plane was just shy of 600 lbs at last check. I fly about 150 mph on a VW engine. Back to the original topic, yes longer is most likely better, but do you need it NO, NO,NO. Build one and fly it, you will not be sad.. thank you for reading my rant.

KR> Icing. Glazing
> the best bang for the buck is to use a micro and resin. I agree with the previous statement. Although I would consider the best process a two-step process. Start with the resin and micro to take care of any big dips and pinholes. Then finish topcoat with the icing it's much easier to see any other bad spots and gives you a nice smooth finish that you can apply primer over. We have built and finished four Lancair Evolutions, they come in raw carbon. Orr first step is to slather the entire wing empanage and fuselage with micro and resin. Then with any other small areas we will skim with icing. This process is followed by the first layer of primer. The first layer of primer will show you any pinholes or missed areas. Most of that first layer of primer is sanded off to get rid of all your pinholes. Then we do another coat of primer over the entire airplane and it's flown it's first 40 hours in that primer.

Depending on how low the low spots are, The best thing to use is a stick slurry of micro and resin. Don't go to thick just fill the low spots.

Netters; I know Phoenix is on the way to the gathering for most of you. It is problebly out of reach for some of you in a one day trip, but if you can make it to Mesa AZ. I can get you set up with a tie down, or a hangar, and I have 2 spare rooms at the house with the wife and I. There is a lot that can happen on a long trip, so if needed I'm here for you. I plan on flying in on Friday night or sat morning, depending on weather. Just to let some of you know, that is monsoon season that time of year and mountain flying can get bumpy in the afternoon.

There are people out there that will 100,000 plus for a legend Cub, but you can find a good referb Cub or Super Cub and they could save a ton of money. I will never discourage a person on this net for wanting the best for themselves. I will also not discourage a person who wants to build a "stock KR". The first big expense to build a KR is the wood. Like I said I have projects for sale and it is not to make money. The sole purpose was to save projects from the fire pit, and to help people. I guess my point is there are still people that would like to build a stock KR and it would fit their needs. I have a good example, there are no piston engine powered Lancair Evolutions built or sold. We have a 4P customer who purchased the first one to be built. My question is why would you need a piston powered pressurized airplane? Answer he does not make long trips and does not need a turbine. My question what about resale. Answer, he does not care. This guy will fly the wings off this plane. The point I'm trying to make is there are all kinds of people out there who want what they want. I hope they can get unbiased opinions and they can make a choice. On a lighter note my engine is ready to go on and I still need to fix my VE cowl. I'm looking at making the gathering this year to take my whippings. Period

KR> Resin Wars.
Dan and netters Opinions are good, but when it come to a product, people's opinions can change someone choice. I work for a company that started out as a builder assist company for Glasairs. Glasairs are made of VE, our new owner has worked for the company for 15 years, and he hates VE. I have and old KR and used VE a little rebuilding it. I really grew up using VE, due to my dad using it for his projects. I work mostly with Epoxy now, but if we have a project at work that is VE I get it. My recent history with VE would freak most people on this net out. I have layed up parts in a mold that would use 7 gallons of VE and we would do it all in 2 hours. I disagree with the statement that VE has a film. The reason you can't lay Polyester resin ie VE over Epoxy is the wax that comes to the surface. Epoxy can be put over Epoxy without any prep within 24 hours. With VE you need to scuff the surface. Peel ply is a different story. Health wise Epoxy is worse for you. Lungs, touch etc.it all comes down to personal preference, are Fords better than Toyota? Lee Van Dyke On May 20, 2013, at 11:37 AM, wrote: > Actually Dan VE fully curing depends on which VE you use.

KR> Kudos to barnstormers
Netters, one of the projects that I have been working on was my uncles Kitfox. He passed away a year ago February. The plane was stored for 10 years and the A/W cert and logs were lost. Working with the FAA here in phx is now easiest. The FAA agent I worked with was great, he has been to the business that work for many, many times. He can out several times as I was working on the plane. I got the condition inspection done and got the A/W cert reissued. I did have a few people at the airport looking at the plane. I informed them that I did not want to make a deal until I got all of the paperwork completed. Once that was completed, I was told the plane was worth more than I was asking. I listed it on barnstormers for a good but fair price, and it sold in 2 days. Now N212LH will live in Las Vegas. Full asking price. So the 2 other KR projects that I have listed on this net will be on Barnstormers soon.! I love this net but face it, we are CHEAP. Barnstormers has a bigger audience. I would love to see the projects that I have for sale go to the KR family. I wish we had a support system that could buy from sellers like I bought from that could filter these parts through the Official KR parts and kits. Just a thought. Help out our own. Lee Van Dyke

KR> Duh!
Netters I have been asking questions about the Ellison 2 carb, and getting some good information. First: Mark L. gave me a number for a diaphragm for the carb. I ordered it and it was the wrong size and it was not marks fault. More on that later. Second: the Internet is good but not great. I have tried to looked at several sites and some have little information and some will direct you in the wrong direction. That is the benefit of this web site. Last: This is where the duh comes in. I have been asking for help from this site and I had the answer at my fingertips. The carb I'm working on is a very old carb. From HAPI, receipt signed by Rex Taylor. If you go to the Ellison web site and read the article "no, it's not a POSA". As Ben was designing the Ellison he had help from the mastermind friend of mine Tom McNeeley. Duh I knew Tom helped Ben, so I called him (fingertips). Duh. He again told me the story of how the carb/ throttle body was developed. They used a Tillotson diaphragm. Mark that is why it looks similar, tillotson made it. My model was so early it was different, Tom told me to call a local lawn mower shop, and lo and behold I have a smooth running 2180 on a Dragonfly. Again Thank you Net and Mark Lee Van Dyke
KR> Ellison 2 carb
Mark that you for the suggestion on the diaphragm. It's on the way. I have the Ellison 2 carb on a 2180 VW on a dragonfly. It runs good at low speed, I can throttle up to 3000rpm, at about 1100 egt. I have more throw on the quad, but the further I go the higher the egt goes. Any ideas? Lee Van Dyke

KR> Copperstate fly-in
Today started at about 6am. Ok 5am. With a hour drive. Since my KR is not in the air yet, I volunteered for aircraft parking. I have worked fuel venture in the past but they have not run the race for 2 years. I will let you know, pilots taking their planes to a busy fly in have a I've tried to come up with way to explain it but I can't. Lets just say their plane is gold and does not have a prop blast. Jeff Scott is here with his Grizzly Cub and his friends. No KRs yet or do we expect any. Bad time for KRs out west. The weather is awesome no rain in site a little wind and lots and lots and lots of son. Meeting with some kr people tomorrow, so more later Lee Van Dyke

KR> gathering
Hello KR Net, It's a sad day when you come to realize that you will not make it to the 2012 KR Gathering. I have been extremely busy since the last Gathering. Work has been keeping me busy, we completed 2 Lancair Evolutions and they have been delivered. I helped a elderly friend of mine make a new cowl for his plane. (corby) Mid July we got our third Evolution and it has to be done by the end of the year. As of right now it is on schedule. The story of my plane (snakebite) is a little different. I had a lot of work to do on it. I made stub wing skin molds, layed up parts, and tried to see if anybody else wanted any. Not to bash anybody, but I can now see what Steve Glover has to deal with, on selling KR parts. Let me just say that there are lot of people who kick tires. Enough of that. I got my new prop the other day, I'm fixing the lower cowl and should be done with that next week. The wing skins will also go on this week. I pulled out the landing gear, and pretty much started over. I have the spring bar straightened, it always had a bend in it. I made a new handle for pulling the shear pins. I made new blocks for the shear pins, and replaced a lot of bolts that were the wrong length. I mean a lot. The goal was to get the plane ready for the gathering, but there was just too much to do. I have to repair the exhaust, and repaint the plane. The outboard wings were fixed and sanded a few months ago. I have also been cleaning up the KitFox that my Uncle built. It has 8.5 hours on it and has been sitting for 10 years. It is in great shape and I have it sold. The wing need to go on and small ticky tacky stuff need to be completed. I also have an Ultra Pup that I have been working on. A lot of fabric repairs needed to be done, and the wings are back on. The engine is being rebuilt and the wiring will have to be put back in the plane. I also worked on a gyro copter, replacing all of the windows in it, but that is another story. So if somebody could update the registration page and remove my name and the one Bob put on there. Larry I will still take a Hat and shirt. I will be at copperstate with snakebite, and will plan for new year. Have fun everybody Lee Van Dyke
