[cruz...@frontiernet.net via KRnet]

My KR is stretched 24?inches so I may not need as much trim as some..


Larry my KR2-S is stretched another 18.75" farther aft of the rear spar. Yep 
you read that right...extended one more bay plus four inches to the leading 
edge of the vertical stabilizer spar -bulkhead.I think my KR2s is the longest 
in the world. I hear long is a good thing so in this case I can brag mine is 
longer than yours. Who needs trim when you have a long one? ?I think I might 
have opened a can of worms with this subject (trim and longer fuselage).Thanks

My LED indicator got toasted early on like Mark's, probably from 
radio frequency overload.? I was going to replace it but decided not 
to bother as I never referenced it anyway.? As I recall, I made my 
trim tab the size called for in the plans.? I seldom see it deflected 
more than about 1/3 deflection after landing.? My KR is stretched 24 
inches so I may not need as much trim as some.? I do get a noticeable 
pitch change when I deploy the speed brake full down and trim for 
that.? I do not reset trim for takeoff but adjust trim on climb out 
or cruise as necessary just as in a Cessna or Piper.? You will find 
that you will adjust trim by the feel in the stick, not by the 
lights.? On your first flight just take off with neutral trim and 
precede from there.? Stick forces in the KR are so light that it's 
not an issue.

KR> Aeropoxy

[cruz...@frontiernet.net]

 I am wondering how much Aeropoxy I will need for wing construction on my 
KR2S. How much should I have on hand while laying up the fiberglass ? I plan 
just one layer of glass at a time with peel-ply.Is there is a method to figure 
how much to mix for a given area ? From previous experience with the older type 
Rand resins ,I always seemed to have extra resin gone to waste.  Also is the 
one hour hardener enough time to wet out one layer of glass? I'm thinking it's 
plenty of time with this lower viscosity type resin.

Happy New Year

I would not use any heat!!! Air dry only. You do not want to remove the 
natural moisture of the wood, as this will cause fibers to shrink too much. 
Air movement is a good thing to help it dry out, properly.

My guess is that all will be fine as long as the water is removed and the 
boat is naturally allowed to dry.

Good luck.

  Same thing happened to me a few years ago.  Wound up with about 5/8" of
  water in each bay on the fuselage floor.  Prior to that I had painted the
  inside of the fuselage with thinned epoxy.  So, I was able to mop up the
  water with a sponge and rags.  The outside plywood had not been painted.
  The bare mahogany showed some water stain but no warpage after air drying.
  The aircraft grade plywood has waterproof glue.  Most epoxy glues are also
  waterproof, but the uncoated lumber can soak up the water and cause issues
  with uneven expansion and then contraction when it dries out.
  Use great care with the heat gun: you might overheat the glue joints and
  soften the epoxy.  That could do more damage than water soaking. 
Recommend
  you wipe up the visible water soon as possible.  Then air dry with with 
lots
  of ventilation with a fan or two.

Craig, 

   I purchased the Henrob torch several years ago. It welds 4130 tube quite 
well. Of course you have to practice on some small pieces before you go and 
weld on and engine mount or push pull rods. I use 1/8" 4130 rod. It works very 
well on auto body panels too. The small concentrated plume  burns with just 4 
psi set for oxygen .  Check out Aircraft Spruce. they sell it there.   Joe Cruz 

http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/weldingtorch.php 



Tig is nice but the equipment to do it is expensive so I would have to pay to 
all my parts made.  With gas I have all the equipment and as I build I can make 
changes or totally redesign a part as necessary.

If the builder changed the entire hinge setup on the elevator and 
rudder, I'd check very close to see what other mods were made and 
judge how they might effect safety.  Not saying the piano hinges 
aren't safe, just haven't seen it done before on a KR.  I'd have to 
see them up close and personal to judge their safety.

He indicated they were built to plans and I've never heard or seen a 
KR with piano hinges in the tail surfaces.  I have nearly 400 hours 
now on my "standard" KR tail surfaces with aluminum hinges.  They are 
nowhere near worn enough that I'm thinking of major surgery to 
rebuild them.  I agree with several other posts and suggest that if 
the tail is finished I'd finish the airplane and go fly.  If you are 
still flying the airplane after hundreds of hours of flight time and 
they need attention, do a rebuild then.  At that point you'll know 
more what you want anyway.

Anyone looking to "bush" the original hinges use caution.  There is 
not much excess metal in the hinges to be enlarging the holes for bushings.

Hello all,

I have been lurking on the web and krnet for sometime now and I have recently 
acquired a Kr-2s project.
The wings are raf-48, built and installed per plans.  The horizontal stab and 
rudder installed and built
per plans.  I have been contemplating on rebuilding the horz. stab and rudder 
using Mark L.
airfoils and Dr. Dean hinges.  The elevator has 3 non-bearing hinges same as 
rudder.  I would
think that the elevator would not be "airworthy" knowing what we know now about 
the kr hinges.
In order to redo the spars would I be able to laminate thicker spruce onto the 
oe spars or would
I have to completely remove the old spars and start over? or install oil 
impregnated bushings
into the existing 3 hinges and fly sooner?

Thanks in advance,

I have a KR1 project with a VW installed for sale.  It is not complete but I
do have all the logs if you know of anyone interested.  It was donated to my
High School Aircraft Technology program by the daughter of one the original
builders.  We need the operating money way more than we need the plane.  I
had hoped to finish the project but now feel that is impractical.  The
project seems to be about 80% complete.

Subject: KR> KR2 parts for sale

I posted a for sale notice in early March, some of which is still available.




Canopy frame
Wing attach fittings  
Forward deck  
Turtle deck   

Those
parts are pristine.

There are other
available parts which are less pristine, but maybe somebody can use them.
They include a fuselage which is well past the boat
stage.  Tail feathers are installed. The
main spar is installed, and shaped to accept the newer airfoil.  The stick,
pedals, horns and cables are also installed. 

Pretty
much all other airframe parts are on hand to complete this aircraft,
including
retractable gear, fuel tank halves, the canopy and frame.  The canopy frame
needs to be repaired.  The smoked canopy has a small edge crack, but
that's fixable too.

Wing spars are fabbed and sealed with epoxy resin.

Of course none of this is brand spanking new, and little of it fits the KR2S
which most are building, so the value
is not what it once was. I'm not even sure that the tank is the currently
available version. 

Make me an offer. Interested
persons contact me direct. If nobody calls in on this stuff, it's going to
the dump.

BTW, there's a HAPI engine available too.  It's a low time engine, but due
to the number
of years it's been sitting around, I don't want to fly it.  I was thinking
of using it in a
hovercraft.But hey, if someone wants it...
