Re; KR>Engine Mount

[M & C]

Allen, the mount,left to right inside to  inside is 10 3/4" the bolt holes 
left to right c to c is 10 1/4". I have an extra corvair motor mount if 
anyone is interested contact me off line or phone 1-573-579-3147. Read page

The puzzle here is that Joe was having no trouble before the anual with his 
mixture.  This started after he worked on it. I think Bill Clapp is running 
the same set up on his carb with no problems.
For some reason it doesn't appear that you are getting enough fuel to the 
carb.
Possibilities:
fuel flow restriction-- trash/blockage ect...
insuffecent vent --blockage or located in a neg or low pressure zone 
restricting fuel flow--don't think this is it as he can do it on the ramp
linkage--check the mix control cable to see that is is secured correctly.

KR> Anti-Aviation bill in Jacksonville, Fl

[M & C]

I don't understand why the EAA has not jumped all over this. EAA was started 
in the basement  of a home by Paul Poberezny. I guess it's a good thing that 
wasen't in Jacksonville Fla.
There are a lot of cities doing a lot of annexing and spreading out into 
rural areas. If this catches on with other cities it could have a 
devastating impact on homebuilt aircraft.
I was under the impression that only the FAA or DAR could define what was 
considered to be a flying aircraft and only after it was complete and deemed 
airworthy.
I'm building my KR in a storage unit close to home because I was told that 
the airport hangers could not be used for such a project unless I was an 
A/P.

KR> cutting canopy to GRP

[M & C]

I don't know about cutting plex glass but I did all of my cutting of lexan 
using a 4 inch grinder with a cut off blade. I know this sounds crude but it 
worked good for me. I just kept the blade moving so as not to get the lexan 
too hot. and made about 3 passes to make a cut. I did tape off the lexan so 
as to protect the surface while cutting.

KR> Lexan

[M & C]

Too late, I've already formed and installed the wind screen about a year 
ago. I did heat it but did so very slowly. Heated then allowed to cool then 
raising temp another 10 degrees and cooling then another 10 degrees and 
cooling---slowly--repeating over two days until I got what I wanted. I also 
did my gull wing glass and two back windows by the same proceedure--not yet 
installed. So far no crazing and no scratches. I did ruin one gullwing 
passenger side glass by getting it too hot too fast. I did the slow heat 
process in order to get rid of any moisture present. I also picked a couple 
of days with low humidity. I didn't make a mold for this. I just made a jig 
out of 1/2 inch plywood ect..  arround the preimeter of the lexan. I hung 
the jigs with lexan clamped in place in the oven and started the heating 
process. I have been very carefull about protecting the lexan from any 
scratches but we shall see. That is why I haven't installed the gullwing and 
rear glass untill after most everything is done.

KR> One minor dimension

[M & C]

If your set on using the van I would cut a door on each side in order to 
work on the wings. If doors fold down hinged at the floor level and used as 
a platform to work and enough area to walk around the ends of the stub wings 
then I think it may be possible with a lot of extra work. Just fold the 
doors up/shut when done working on it for the day.

Peter, I don't see any problem with coating the spars as long as you put a

KR> WAFs

[M & C]

Serge, I would squirt epoxy in the holes before inserting the bolts "and" 
coat the bolts with epoxy. If you only coat the bolts and the holes are snug 
a lot of the epoxy will be striped off while the bolt is intering the holes 
and not coat the wood surface in the holes. I didn't just tap the bolts but 
used a nut driver attached to my portable drill and ran the bolts in while 
spinning slowing with my drill to help distruibte the epoxy evenly.

[M & C]

Why brother trying to reem holes that are hard to get to? If the bolts are a 
close fit just take the embry cloth to the bolts and  reduce bolt diameters 
slightly. I would not think this would reduce the bolt strength enough to 
amount to anything. Stick the bolts in a drill press Just at the grip/thread 
point and let it spin while holding a strip of embry cloth thus reducing all

KR> weight and balance standard KR2 tri gear

[M & C]

Jeff, that's easy you need a datum line and dist from datum line to front 
axle also dist from datum to  main axles. datum can be anywhere you choose. 
I would suggest you put it 60 inches in frount of front axle. Thus keeping 
all moments + and all dimentions in inches. Multiply dist fromp datum to 
each axle times weights. "example 60 inches times 180 lbs (front axle) gives 
you a moment of 10,800 pound inches. Now do the mains, add all moments and 
divide by total weight of aircraft to get cg location in inches from the 
established datum. Post your info and the net can check your calcs.

KR> Spar length/spins

[M & C]

I put my tanks in the outer wings amoung other reasons to make it somewhat 
more spin resistant. I would agree that it would be somewhat more difficult 
to recover "but not much" depending on how much rotation was allowed before 
recovery. Almost anything you do to an aircraft to make it more spin 
resistent will make recovery more difficult.

KR> Gear leg brackets

[M & C]

Bobby I made my own brackets out of 1/8 4130. lower brackets out of 1/4 4130 
but just cut my old retract spring bar in half and used it for the legs. 
Upper brackets I set at 46 degrees from the horz. Lower brackets I set at 46 
from the vert. This gave me 2 degrees of camber in the wheels. Hopefully 
when I set the airplane back down the weight and spring in the bar will even 
everything out. Saved a bunch of money doing it this way.

KR> Corvair info post

[M & C]

I would think that harmonic RPM could "almost" be eliminated as a cause 
except in combination with a prop extention or out of balance prop/ spinner 
ect.. Simply because the crank problems only started when they were put in 
KRs. I would suspect that the same harmonic ranges that would be of concern 
would have alreardy been observed in all those aircraft which had corvairs 
in the past. So what makes KRs different?? I think a hard look has to be in 
the direction of prop extentions and in the way  KR pilots fly them compared 
to the way others fly  corvair aircraft.   Are KRs the only group that will 
sometimes fly WOT or screem across the runway and yank back on the stick and 
pull 4 plus Gs. I'm sure other corvair aircaft have done the same thing but 
at what speed and what weight? I would think that as speed and mass 
increase, other forces which may adversely affect the crank may also 
increase during any change in direction of  mass or speed.   I think Wiliam 
Wayne addresed this in the conversion manual as being hard on the crank. 
Something to do with angular displacement? How about a hard 5 G landing , 
what kind off affect does this have on a crank? Please don't take any 
offense to what I have to say. I'm not an engineer nor have I flown a KR. 
It's just me asking questions and thinking out loud.
I will also nitrate my crank just for a little added safty.

[M & C]

I scarfed all of my plywood by just placing the plywood edge on the edge of 
a table layed a piece of angle about 6-8 inches back from the table to clamp 
the plywood down and hold it in place then measured back 1" from the edge of 
table/ply and drew a line. Then with belt sander in hand worked from the 
edge of the table back to the line. It make a good scarf and if repeated 
with all ply it will fit anywhere you have a joint.

KR> another flight

[M & C]

Joe if you were doing 173 and pulled the power to idle or near idle in order 
to slow down or loose alt coupled with the cool temps you proberly did get 
some carb ice. Any time you pull the power especially with the high 
compression corvair you need the carb heat. If you don't, it will ice up 
faster than you can imagine!!

I've still got the old spring bar for the oringal retracks so I plan to just 
cut it into and use it. The oringal bar was designed to handle the landing 
loads so it it should handle any loads imposed on it in a fixed gear 
position. I've never heard of one breaking??

I did check the archrives but couldn't find anything on cutting the gear but 
there commits on drilling and not heating it up. I don't plan to do any 
heating of the spring bar just cut it with a power hacksaw. I will have to 
drill some holes in them for attachment of upper and lower brackets.

KR> How to widen and KR2

[M & C]

Net/Orma, I need to make a correction to what I had written about widening 
the Kr. I had stated that I  cut out the section from the top logerons down 
to the top of the stub wings between the spars. What I did was sit in the Kr 
prior to making an insicion in order to determine what was a comfortable 
location for the arm rest. Once I had my arm in the position I wanted.  I 
used a magic marker to outline the bottom of my arm and elbow. That is the 
section I cut out along with all truss members at that point allowing an 
extra 5/8 and 1/4 inch for build back. This allowed the arm rest to slope 
from my elbow up toward the instrument panel and put in side sticks. With 
the arm rest narrow/low at the elbow and higher/wider at the side sticks. 
You would be surprised how much extra room that gives you by getting the 
elbows and shoulders out of the way on each side. I did the side sticks 
because I had the arm rests anyway and felt I might have a little extra 
control with a very stable platform for my arm as opposed to resting my 
arm/elbow on my knee. If you deside to do this just make sure you get the 
top of the arm rests high enough to clear your knees but wide enough for the 
side stick control movements should you choose to go to the side sticks.

KR> Widening the boat joy stisk control

[M & C]

Phil, the side sticks were set up using a 3/4 in 7075 alum rod under the arm 
rests  between new and old truss members with a bearing on each end. A bell 
crank at the lower end for the aleron cable that runs in front of the rear 
spar. (I moved the aleron control cable from behind the front spar to just 
in front of the rear spar) The sticks are made from 1/8 inch x 1inch 6061 
alum one on each side of the 3/4 inch rod with elv control cable 3 inchs 
above the pivot point of the 3/4 inch rod then returned by way of a 2 inch 
pully back through the center of the side sticks down under the arm rest to 
another set of pullies then to the rear with another set of pullies 
redirecting the cables to the elv.  bell crank.   I don't have drawings but 
may have some pictures. If I can find them I will send them to Omar in the 
next few days.

KR> How to widen and KR2

[M & C]

Larry, I did widen mine after the boat but I would not recomend it. It is a 
difficult proceedure and would have been much faster to just start over. I 
needed the room at the shoulders so I cut out the top logerons from just 
behind the fore spar to just in front of the rear spar and down to the top 
of the top wing surface at the stub wings where they meet the fuslage sides. 
I then added 2 extra top longerons outside where the old ones were cut out. 
Then added  vertical  and truss members back to regain the necessary 
structural strength. Then re skinned the new sides and blended with the 
existing sides fore and aft. This alowed me to put in arm rests on the sides 
and give the pilot and passenger more elbow and shoulder room. I have to say 
I like the way it is turning out but this is major surgery and adds extra 
weight to the finnished product. There is no change to the width at the 
bottom of the boat.

Your results may vary Proceed at your own risk !!!

then!

KR> Gas availability for travel to Mt. Vernon

[M & C]

I live in Jackson, Missouri just 8 miles NE of Cape Girardeau and I get 
around a lot and have not experienced any of the problems stated by the TV 
station at least in a 25-30 mile radius of Jackson, Mo. All of the stations 
I've seen here have gas with no limit that I know. Prices ranging from 2.65 
a gal to 2.99 for reg.  I think it may be a little higher priced in IL.
