[david mullins]

Netters,

Here are the links to the group photos I took at this years Gathering.
I have included some of the early fly-bys that were taken in less than
optimal weather conditions. I did get some better ones from  Sunday's
departures and  will post them later tonight on web pages I am making today.

KR> Fuel capacity

[David Mullins]

On my 3XL KR2S the Stub wing tanks calculated out to 14.5 Gal each.
They are aluminum following the contour of the airfoil between the
Spars. My stub wings are 2 feet long.  The Header tank, I am guest-a-mating
at 18-20 Gal. I will have to find that out when I fill it.

Orma,

I talked to Jeanette at the last gathering. In that conversation 
she stated that the gear she offered was made by Grove. Robbie 
Grove started offering them for the KR directly a few years later.

KR>1.43oz fiberglass

[David Mullins]

Netters,

Here is a deal on some 1.43oz fiberglass for that final layer.
You had better hurry he only has 98 rolls left after I bought one.

98 rolls of fiberglass on the wall,
98 rolls of fiberglass,
Take one down and ship it to a KR builder,
97 rolls of fiberglass on the wall, .


You guys can finish the rest.

1.43 oz FIBERGLASS CLOTH 100 yds only $70 delivered   Item # 3135835566

 Toys & Hobbies:Radio Control:Air:Aircraft:Gas Powered R/C

Price Buy It Now for US $70.00 each

Location   HIGH POINT, NC 27260

Quantity   99 available

Time left  9 days, 16 hours +

Started   Jun-19-03 06:07:43 PDT

Ends Jun-29-03 06:07:43 PDT

We have reduced the fixed price amount of the style 1080 1.43 oz/sq yd
fiberglass cloth from $120 to just $70 including shipping to anywhere 
in the 48 continental United States. That's 40% lower than it was just 
a couple of weeks back. It can't get any cheaper than this. This cloth 
is 38" wide and 100 yards long. At $70 total delivered what you pay 
per square foot is just 7.8 cents. The count is 60 x 47 end/in. The 
breaking strength is 70 x 40 lb.f/in. The thickness is 0.0025". The 
finish on this fabric is a silane for any resin. A brief explanation
of a finish on fiberglass. When fiberglass is woven the yarn in the 
greige has an oily starch coating that allows it to slide more easily
during the weaving to prevent breakage of the fibers. After the cloth 
is woven it is then put through a heat cleaning process to remove this 
coating. After that a new finish such as a Silane or the chrome based 
finish Volan is then applied. These finishes complex with the silicone 
dioxide in the glass and leave one group of molecules to bond to the 
resin. It is more or less a primer that creates a strong bond between 
the glass and the resin. The roll will be securely packed in plastic, 
bubble wrap, and corrugated wrap and we pay the insurance. We accept 
most any form of payment but prefer PAYPAL. We also accept checks and 
money orders if from US banks. Sorry, no Canadian shipments for this 
deal. The rolls will be shipped UPS so we'll need your Street address 
and phone number. $70 total for 100 yards of 1.43 oz Fiberglass cloth 
is a deal! Any questions e-mail me at thayercr...@earthlink.net. You 
can't go wrong on this one

KR>Landing Gear

[David Mullins]

Tim,

You can check out what I did to mount the Grove Gear
on my bird at the link below. I made a simple "L"
bracket with sides using 4130. The gear is bolted
on with radius blocks and 3/8" bolts. You can mount 
the brackets so they just touch the bottom skin. That
way the only clearance holes will be for the radius
blocks. I submerged the top of the gear and only
have the legs and lower radius blocks out in the
slipstream.

KR>Oil cooling

[David Mullins]

Larry,

I bought one from JC Whitney to help with the cooling. If it doesn't work
a screwdriver can remove it. My engine hasn't started, so I don't know
if it helps yet.

If anyone is looking for Foam here is a surplus contact:

Hello,
Are you or anyone you know still looking for Trymer foam?
I have 300,000 to 350,000 board ft of Trymer that I need to get
out of wharehousing. I will sell dirt cheap.

The material is made by Hitherm, Hitherm.net
it is the HT-300 rated for up to 300  degrees F and sustains 
intermittent 350
degree F temps. Its properties are the same as the Trymer 2000. it has a
better k factor than the Trymer 2000.sorry about the confusion, it was 
called
a Trymer insulation when I was presented with it. We are asking $0.20 per
board foot. it is in 4ft wide x 3 ft long x  2 ft high buns.
The material is in Santa Anna, California.
Thank you

KR>(no subject)

[David Mullins]

Dan,

I'm not in Connitecut, But for a short road trip you can come
up here and see my bird under construction. My plane is at the
Nashua Airport (KASH) We can also go see Paul O'rielly's KR2
in Derry NH and Rich Parker's KR2S in Peterborough NH.

Nashua is just over the Mass/NH border on Route 3. It is
approximately 1.5 hour drive from Hartford. Take I-84 north to
the mass pike. Go east to exit 9 (10 miles), take I-290 East to
I-495 North Take the exit for route 3 north( I think it is #32). After
crossing  the NH border go to exit #6 Make a right turn and go
two blocks. I am the third house (Gray)on the left from the highway.
The airport is about 1 mile away. Paul is 15 min Northeast, Rich is
30 min West

[David Mullins]

Justin,

The way I did mine was to draw a center line on one spar. Mark the cross
points at each hinge location. Clamp the two spars together offseting 
them .400"
longitudinally. Then drill both spars at the same time.  A 3/16" rod can 
hold
them together while you foam and glass the HS & VS

KR>Aileron Control

[David Mullins]

Les,

I purchased two 4' B&M shifter cables when I started to redo my aileron
controls using a torque tube to get behind the aft spar. I went with the 8'
cables because now they go from the left stick through a 180º turn under 
the seat,
under the aft spar, and out the left stub wing to a bellcrank. No torque 
tube
needed now. When I get the brackets mounted to the dual stick assembly I 
will
get a picture to you.

KR>Recommendation from Rick Wilson

[David Mullins]

Why don't you just ask the horses mouth?  ME

This is an extra engine for my use. I originally made this one for a 
second project.
Now I am building two 3100cc engines, one direct drive for the KR and one
with a 2.09:1 planetary redrive for the next project. I had saved up the 
money
to do the machine work on the two 3100cc engines, Because I was given 
two weeks
unscheduled vacation from my current employer two months ago, I had to 
use the
money to pay my bills. This has made me sell the first engine so that I 
can pay for
the machine work for the other two.

KR>Plywood Listing

[David Mullins]

Justin,

I have used the 1/8" 6 ply birch plywood  GL-II from Finland. I purchased it
from Harbor Sales in Maryland. The Last time I went by they stopped
carrying it. Boulter Plywood has just started selling this plywood about
1 to 1.5 years ago. Boulter is about 1 hr drive from me in Boston. I did
pick up some extra 1/4" from them when I needed some more.

Another builder here is using it for his Corby Starlet.

Thursday!!! 

I am planning on being at MVN late Saturday night the 12th after
stopping at Wright-Patterson AFB to photograph the Aviation
Museum. I will be scheduling with local models in the area to shoot
throughout the week. Then be at the Gathering for the last weekend.
On Sunday the 20th, go to Scott  AFB for the Airshow there. I will leave
early on Monday for the 20 hour drive home.

During the week, I will make a trip up to Wicks to get some fresh Aeropoxy
to use for my wing skins.


Joe,

Did you notice any clearance issues between the VW cylinder and the
threads of  the OTTO 7/16" stud?  I have these studs already and
didn't get to tap my block yet at Corvair College #14.

[David Mullins]

If it is available, I will bring may spare crank that I didn't
get a chance to tap at CC#14

I also have a 1"-14 Tap, The one I found at the tool place
was a left hand model. I had to swap it for one with a right

OT:   I am fabricating and installing a 36 GAL  aux fuel
tank in my truck. It is made from the bottom of an
Aluminum tool box. I can still put some tools in there
too.   A side benefit if I add a "Y" valve and long hose
I can use it as a transfer tankt o fill the KR when I finish
building.

KR> One week to the Gathering!

I am already in Dayton, OH to visit the Air Force Museum. Arriving
at Mount Vernon later this evening. To the rest of you LATE COMERS,
I will see you when you arrive on Thursday.

KR> One week to the Gathering!

[David Mullins]

I arrived in Mt. Vernon Last night about 9:30 local time. I will go see 
Chris
Collins today to see if there is anything he needs help with.

The Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio was great.
If you have a chance to go, I would recommend it. Just plan on at least two
days if you want to see and read all the exhibits. I spent the day just 
going
around and photographing the planes. I was surprised to see they had a
B-1 Lancer, B-2 Spirit, F-117 Nighthawk, and a F-22 Raptor there. So close,
you could literally reach out and touch them!

On my drive here I stopped at Niagara Falls on Friday for a few hours to
photograph the falls. I drove near there in 2002 when I trailered my 
airplane
to Red Oak, Iowa. I didn't want to stop with the airplane in tow back then.
So I did it this trip.

As a famous hotel slogan says: I'll leave a light on for ya!

[David Mullins]

They are calling for 50% chance of rain on Tuesday I didn't look at
the long range forecast for the  area yet.

I went up in Chris Collins' airplane today to do some air to air shots
of a LSA Jabaru for the LSA fly-in they are having here in Mt. Vernon.

In Mt Vernon waiting on the early birds to show up,

Steve,

The airport Restaurant (Grandma's Landing) has a lunch buffet from

KR> Bad News: N4DD Down at MVN

[David Mullins]

Just a short note that N4DD crashed on landing today at Mt. Vernon.
Dan Freeman has some good cuts and scrapes on his head, arms and
feet, but should pull through. He is currently at a local hospital being
treated for his injuries.

I almost had the crash in pictures as I was walking out of the terminal
to shoot the first KR arrival as he touched down and bounced back up
into the air. A gust of wind pushed him further up into the air. He 
tried to
correct and get the nose down when the gust subsided and he fell 30+
feet to the ground.

He hit with the nose down and the right wing down. The plane slid the
length of the taxiway, about 130 ft. The right wing folded under the
fuselage. The engine and instrument  were broken off and swung back
along the fuselage side.

Will give an update on Dan's condition once I hear something.

KR> Bad News: N4DD Down at MVN

[David Mullins]

The local news had it wrong. Dan was transported to an Evansville, Indiana
hospital. He has many lacerations on his head, arms, and feet, The worst is
that both of his ankles were shattered upon impact. He did walk about 20 
feet
before he collapsed to the ground.

There was another KR airplane that went down about 2 miles from the end 
of the
runway last night. He was a KR from Colorado. The name was Bulla. He 
suffered
5 broken ribs with the plane totally destroyed. He was airlifted to a 
hospital in
St. Louis. Speculation is that he ran out of fuel.

KR> KR GATHERING

[David Mullins]

Netters,

Unfortunately,  I will not be able to attend this years Gathering.
I am in the middle of negotiations to build myself a home. The
money that I would have spent is needed for the down payment
and closing costs.

The house will be a 1400 square foot Ranch with a full drive under
basement. The plan is to put in 12' high ceilings, clear span in
the basement, and a 22' insulated garage door. This will allow
me to finish building my KR and I might just revamp the KR-Cam
on a new website.

The 12' high ceiling is to make a photo studio in there too.

I wish all the pilots and attendees a safe journey. Have an enjoyable
KR Gathering. I will be back at the 2011 Gathering for sure.

Who knows, My KR could be finished by then.

KR>Facet Pump endurance

[David Mullins]

Netters,

I have had one semi-failure of a facet fuel pump in my baja bug. A small
piece of foam from the fuel cell came through the line and stopped the
pump from working. I had to remove the fuel cell to get to the pump, 
dismantle,
and clean out the debris. I later bought a fuel filter to go between the 
fuel cell and
the punp. I would urge anyone using this pump to do the same.

KR>Facet Pump failure rate

[David Mullins]

Richard,

I had to cut a space out of the foam for the fuel level sender.
I replaced the foam back in the tank after cutting and a small piece
dislodged and went through the fuel line to the pump.

KR>Yahoo Groups

[David Mullins]

Mark,

About Yahoo groups. I was on a list there for years that one day just 
disappeared
without warning. The Group didn't break any of Yahoos rules. We think it
was at the government's request because the group was about income taxes.
The state versions of the national list were also shut down by Yahoo. We
started the group up again and were shut down a second time within two 
days.
The group had to host the list offshore to keep our so called "freedom 
of speech"
alive.

It is not because the information we exchange is wrong or illegal, It is 
because
the government does not want us spreading the the word that there is no 
liability
for income taxes.  Everything we post can be traced to  USC Title 26, 
Supreme
Court  Decisions, or US District Court Decisions. It's all about the Law.

KR> Website update/ Motivation

[David Mullins]

Ron,

I haven't done much since I was laid off from Raytheon just days
before the 2002 Gathering. I promised everyone that I wold bring
my bird then.  I drove 30 hours each way to let you guys (& girls)
see what I have been doing up to that point.

The major reason  for little progress is the uncertainty of my current
workplace. It is a startup that I have been working at for the past
1.5 years. I am working as a "contractor" with no benefits at all. Plus,
I get unscheduled "vacations."  I just got a three day one last week
because the business didn't have the money in the bank to pay me.
I am looking for a second job to supplement this one and get some
extra money to start my flight lessons. The business I work at is about
to take off. We are working to close 4 accounts any one of which
would put the company on its feet. That's why I'm trying to stay with them.

I have only been puttering around the hangar with no real progress.
Still been getting some of the other parts I need to make the
two 190ci  Corvair Engines. The first conversion was to mock up
my firewall forward. I sold that engine on barnstormers a while back
to a 601 builder.  The money was to be used for the big boy machine
work. However bills wiped out my plans to get the machine work done.
(More unscheduled vacation)

I have my own domain that I am in the process of moving to. I am finishing
a new computer build this weekend and will do a major update to my web
site at the new domain by the end of this month. (That's a promise)

My domain is http//www.KR2S.com  I can set some of you guys up with a
forwarding Email at  yourn...@kr2s.com  It will forward to your real
email address.

I hope the next gathering in Mount Vernon will cure me of my motivational
problems. The Last one started to, but fizzled in a few weeks. I need to see
some of the NEW birds that have been finished. (I still like to see the 
older
ones too)

KR> Rolling in Laughter

In the past the keg has produced some interesting and exciting social

anyone remember the story that broke up the circle last year at Red Oak 
and caused
us all to roll in laughter to the exits?


I know one of my stories had everyone in stitches, It was about a friend 
of mine that
pissed on a live 220 line and sealed the end of his "you know what"  
closed. He had to go
to the hospital to get things working again!

I am single, so whatever I did at the bachelorette party was OK!
I did like the "Suck for a Buck" T-shirt she was wearing with all

If you get my drift?

I wonder what will happen this year? If you would like to know too, you

KR>Re: 50 Day Alert

[DAVID MULLINS]

Even though I signed up to attend, I am going to have to cancel. Landlord sold 
the Apartment out from under me after nearly 25 years. I have to be out of my 
current Apartment by Aug 20th. If I can find a new apartment, It would only be 
available at the earliest, Sept 1st. There are 8-10 applications in for every 
place that have an opening. With
Paying Movers and the new Apartment and Security I will have
to put out $3-5K for the move. I just can't afford the trip too.

Sorry Guys,

Mark,

Can you just recline the seat back a little more?  I had to do that

Yes, after a stop in Detroit to get the Tune put back on my Truck.  I will be 
using my Comma3 to let the Truck drive itself, similar to a Tesla.  I missed 
last year because i was made homeless for a few months and was just getting 
moved into the new Place in Ringe NH.  This is a story for the Campfire.

The one for the Boats is going for $5K.
You could triple or Quadruple the price on one for an airplane.

Re: KRnet> New set of KR-2S plans

[DAVID MULLINS via KRnet]

If you did not build to plans, Is it a KR still?

Some people asked for my CAD files. So I asked them for thier
Builders Number, so that way I was not giving them something that
they already got in the Plans.
