KR> anyone using a redrive on small VW engine

[Marty Martin]

I have always heard of crank shafts braking when used as direct drives.  I
know that if you use a redrive there is a weight penalty.  But does the
safety factor go up as well.

I have found a 1776 cc VW engine real cheap.  It is brand new and has been
pickled and sitting for about 8 years.  The lady wants $250.  With that in
mind, would the redrive be a good idea.  I think I would like to buy the
engine if anyone can tell me of a redrive and their performance and safety.

Thank you

Look at the most receint airplane thefts.  They were all trigear.  There is
tail wheel training just about anywhere you go.  Find it and use it to your
advantage.  You will cruise faster and be a better pilot for it.  And a lot
less work.

KR> Douglas Fir Veneer and Yellow cedar Veneer

[Marty Martin]

Just remember.  Any structural plywood will have a min. of 5 layers.  I have
seen a 3 layer plywood claiming to be structural.  But that was for
buildings, not airplanes.  And the veneer is the outside layer on both
sides.  But I would stick with Birch or Mahogany.  Doug Fir has a very good
chance of having grain splits caused by pitch pockets.  Good luck in your
search.  Remember, you safety just cost more than a bargain wood.

[Marty Martin]

Look to see just what the top and bottom spar material is.  As long as it is
Stica Spruce or Clear Doug Fur.  You will be fine.  You can use a power hand
planner and remove the web on both sides.  As l have done this very same
thing but only to one side and just at the end.  So I just used a power hand
planner and removed the web.  The smaller the cut the more control you
have.  Don't get in a hurry.

Of coarse, this is only the case as long as any other webbing on the project
(fuselage) is correct.  don't think  you can correct the fuselage by
glassing it.  That is just no good and it adds unneeded weight.  So if the
fuselage is wrong, it will be good fire wood this winter.  But check out any
other installed webbing to see that it is installed correctly before
thinking you have something that can be worked.

KR> BACK SEAT ON KR

[Marty Martin]

Take a look at the engineering of the RV6.  You will find a much wider (stem
to stern) CG range.  Then take a look at the overall size of the 2 planes,
engine for one thing.  And having flowing in the back of an RV6 l can tell
you it was a little dicie.  But if you would want to change to that
engineering on a KR2s and put in place the engineering from the RV6 and
apply it to the KR2s.  I imagine you may find even more problems than the
one l mentioned.

How ever, do not take my word for it.  Talk to an aeronautical engineer and
see for your self.  And also think of the added cost of the planes (KR2s)
cost now to the new set of spec's you will have to put in place.  There goes
the budget in my mine.

Best of luck to you.  Let us know if you find anything in regards to this
situation.

KR> Outboard fuel tanks

[Marty Martin]

I have had three spam cans with wing tip tanks.  And believe me.  I have not
always had picture perfect lands through out my flying career.  And never
have I had a problem that surfaced or that my annuals found any stress
points on the wing structure.  So, my inclination about the stress indicated
by others is something that anyone should consider.  But on the other hand I
know that for me that until some prof is set in front of me.  I will be fine
with tip tanks.

And yes, I am installing tip tanks on my KR1.  The fuel is at least 6.5'
further away from me in the cabin.  And it is only 2.3 gal. per side and
another 5.8 gal. in ea. outside wing panel in alum. tubes.  I will be using
an auto fuel pump to bring the fuel to the engine with an electric fuel pump
boost.  I have a picture on my desk top of a KR2 with tip tanks in flight.
I guess I just need more prof if I were not to install them.

For now, tip tanks a coming.

KR> Looking to trade a TriQ200 project for a KR2s project.

[Marty Martin]

Hello KR netters

I am looking to trade my TriQ200 project for a KR2s project.  The TriQ is
complete but for the instruments, plumbing and engine.  Next weekend, the
9th of Oct. I will be able to take photos of the TriQ.
The canard, wings, tail section, fuel tanks and lines to firewall are in.  I
have the new nose gear and wheel farings.  I have the cowling by Ernest
Martin, Plenum cooling ducts.  The origonal cowling design is also
included.  All parts and pieces are there to complete except for those
mentioned above but you will have to paint.
What I am looking for is a project with all parts and pieces to complete.  I
will consider a standard KR2 but would prefer a 'S' model.  I would like to
find one that is at least 42" wide at the shoalder area.
Give me a call and I will tell you all that I can.  661-747-8608.  I am in
Tehachapi, CA

KR> dual stick assembly

[Marty Martin]

Bob

Thank you for your input.  I guess I just forgot about the elbow.  But with
the floor stick between my legs I used my leg to rest my elbow and in Don's
plane I remember a small arm rest.  But I was thinking that I had some king
of mind telepathy going on here, HAHA.  So, I guess I was correct in
assuming I understood what I meant about resting my elbow, Whee!  That is
what happens when I do not take to time to think the program out in it's
entirety.  And yes, it is the input from the pilot that makes the plane seem
so sensitive.

How ever, if a person does not make room available for the side stick (on
the wall) I do not think that the proper geometry can be put together.  And
to me that would mean that if I were building a KR2S I would make it 42"
wide, not the stock 38" wide.

Just my thoughts on the side stick.

KR> dual stick assembly

[Marty Martin]

Pat

Yes, I am sure that the geometry of the side stick or any location for
a stick would play heavily on the sensitivity of the control of the
plane.  But from what I notice on Don's design was that there was not
enough room to allow the geometry of that installation to be improved.
 I have had a VeriEze and of coarse they have a side stick and it is
not that sensitive.  I liked it very much.  And yes, the geometry was
set up correctly.  It had the needed room for that installation.

But my suggestion was simply that for a person starting out.  I would
suggest a stick coming up from the floor.  And on KR2S I am sure that
it would not be as sensitive as on a regular KR2.  Just thinking of
safety.  Would you not shoot for something safer to start with.
Experience is a great instructor and educator.

I drew the 2nd set of plans that Ken used to sell on the KR1.  I don't
remember a side stick.  I guess it could have been on the very 1st set or
any other subsquent set of plans on the KR1 that I am not aware of.  But it
was not on the set of plans that I provided for Ken.

I bought Don Betchans' KR2 that had the side stick.  And if you thought that
the stick coming up from the floor was sensitive.  Then hang on, that side
stick is *super sensitive*.  It is just such a short stick that the moves
are very exagerated which make it a little quicker on the reactions of the
plane.  Unless you have alot of flying time in some of the other KR's.  I
would suggest a conventional stick placement.  I have over 2800hr total and

In regards to Turbo Charging a VW engine, any size.  One would be wise
to only boost to maintain.  Not for added power, just maintaining sea
level pressure.  You still get the altitude and speed.  Just put the
boost valve on a separate veneer control.  It will do you wonders if
you never get your boost above sea level.

Sure you can.  But I think that it would be added weight that's just
not be needed.  Stick with on or the other.  You will become more
proficient that way.

Is the oil pump the only thing that needs to be replaced?

I looked at the pictures of the motor.  I looks like the crank needs to be
machined again.  Is that right?

So I live in Tehachapi, CA.  Just east of Bakersfield.  My zip is 93561.
What kind of fee for shipping would be looking at?

I went onto you classified site and found some things that I would like to
get more information on.  I used the information shown to contact them and
it all came back as undeliverable.  The one was for a KR2 project that had
some pictures of Roger Reese.  No phone number.  The other was for David
Hartz.  I called both numbers and no luck and a returned email as
undeliverable.

You got an more information on them.

KR> Re: stall speed reduction

[Marty Martin]

Ed

I'm sure that you mean to say that an airworthiness certificate is issued.
As home built (kits) are not certified.

About 8 years ago, I had asked if I could put on vortex generators or a
cuffed leading edge.  And yes, I could put I had not asked in reference to
an LSA.  It was for improving (shorting) my take off and landing roll.  But
my guess is that the vortex generators would do the same.  A couple of Long
EZE's did this very thing and they both said that they improved their
numbers.  And I would think that VG's would be a lot simpler.

As far as the LSA.  I don't know what that would do for that.  But you could
ask your local DAR.

Greg Martin

I'm not sure the FAA would approve that.  I think a "retrofit" would have to
be done before the KR was ever certified.

Perhaps leading edge cuffs could be designed and  retrofitted to a KR
wing thereby reducing the stall speed such as are retrofitted to some
certified aircraft to improve STOL characteristics.

Don't forget.  You can find a VariEze that needs finishing and go to town

Yes, Contact magazine went to the fly-in last year for the Tandem Wing
Fly-in.
It was in Jean, NV.  But you could ask Contact if they are going to the Jean
fly-in
on the 27 of April.

How ever, I'm going anyway.

Do you believe that your going to go?  Let me know.

The Mooney style retract bar w/ locking mechanism is what I copied in my
KR1.  I'm putting clam shell type doors on it and I had a friend with a
computer program run a test for projected speed.  I gained about 8mph.
That's not bad.

I'm just finishing up my TriQ200.  When I done.  I'll take the KR down out
of the rafters (around the end of January) and photo the little design.  I
think some of you guys will like it.
