KR> Machine shop

[robert glidden]

Fellow Netters

Just to give you a little heads up about your local machine shops.I recently 
took my crank and heads to a machine shop recommended by a fellow builder here 
local to have the crank tapped for the safety shaft and the valve guides 
removed and replaced in the heads.I dropped them off two weeks ago prior to a 
trip to Michigan.I returned to the shop last Monday to find out they heated the 
head like they was suppose to and tried to remove the valve guides with a air 
gun.To make a long story short,the holes for the guides look ugly.And now have 
to be reamed out for the oversized bronze valve guides.Make sure the shop you 
take them to knows what they are doing.I've been a tool and die maker for 
several years and have never seen a first year machinist screw up this bad.I 
think the worst part is I've become so attached to my engine I felt like 
somebody had kicked me in the gut,was not sure rather to scream or cry.Bob

KR> tastes great!

KR>Gathering

[robert glidden]

I think Mark is right,there is already so much to take in.Having a corvair
college would send us all into over ride on the brain.If you have tried to
find a corvair lately,you will find that the secret about the corvair is
out.It's getting hard to find a $50 or $100 engine anymore,everyone knows
what they are worth.

KR> ballistic parachute?

[robert glidden]

I think Marty Roberts tested the "G" limits a few times,but I don't think
the KR would be a very good acrobatics airplane.You may get away with a few
rolls or a big loop,but beyond that I would think your pushing it.There was
somebody I can't remember who it was,but he said he done acrobatics in his
all the time.You might check the archives.This is just my opinion someone
else might disagree,but if they have not done it I would let them prove it
before I tried it.Then again I'm under the opinion that the wheels were put
on the bottom of the airplane for a reason...to always point down...Bob

Re: Réf. : KR> Electronic Ignition

[robert glidden]

I'm am not a fan one way or the other,but how can you in one paragraph say
mags are bad and always go out thats why they run dual mags on certified
aircraft.And then in a later paragraph say you have found a better system
that consist on dual (two) electronic systems.Having worked with both system
I will say the one hugh advantage to a mag on a car or airplane in the do
not usually go out without giving some type of warning,by that I mean the
engine runs ruff or misses out noticably.On the other hand when your
electronic ignition goe's out it just stops working.You can run as many
electronic systems as you want,but if your alternator or batter goe's out I
hope the other is working good at 8000 ft above mother earth.And if your
going to tell people they are better the mags why not run one ignition.Not
trying to stir anything just curious...Bob




 Being a
geared system, they are, by essence, very unreliable. This is the very
reason why there are two of them on an aircraft


I
On my 2.0 liter Type 4 VW, recently replaced by a 2.4 liter Type 4 VW, I
run a fully dual redundant electronic ignition system. This consists of
two solid state electronic ignitions, salvaged from 1980's motorcycles.

Netters,
 I have heard that the modern electronic ignition system is more
reliable than the conventional two magneto set-up in all aircraft engines.

Assuming this is true, opinions from any of you who are knowledgeable in
this area would be welcome.  Also does anyone know where if at all an
electronic ignition to use on a VW engine is available.

You do know that if you make them the way the plans call for and don't try

work rather well.Again just a thought...

KR> Parachutes

[robert glidden]

If your KR is as fast as most being built,if you have a failure bad enought
to need a personal chute it is going to happen so fast that the chute is
going to just be extra padding for when you hit the ground.If you are that
uncomfortable with your ability to build a good flying airplane then put a
recovery chute on the aircraft itself.At the speeds you will be going by the
time it happens and you think about jumping it will probly be to late unless
you are going to make yours a low and slow airplane.just a thoughtBob

on cases and coolers are not a problem.There will be no changes in the after 
hour forums,but we may try to add a couple more.You guys are doing your part 
getting the airplanes there.just look for the pop-up by the lake..taxi 
service should be available.Brian and Dean don't buy chairs I'll try to 
remember yours...Anyone that needs a place to sleep let me know and I got a 
couple quick pop up tents I can bring.Its not the Holiday Inn,but its walking 
distance from the after hour forums.Anyone that is not sure about the camping 
at Mt Vernon,ask anyone that was there it is a perfect place to camp.Bring your 
fishing poles..

> Mark L.
Leave it to you to engineer that thought.(ha..ha..)I think it is a fantastic
idea and I will organize that on my end.I will take suggestions on type of
soda and narrow it down to two types and get one of each.From what I've got
so far it looks like one will be Amber Bock.We will just put out a can and
take donations.I really think we need to do soda and brats on Friday
night.Any thoughts email me off  list,so we don't over load the list with
emails people don't need to read...like this one.

KR> bad news from the DAR

[robert glidden]

Bad news from the DAR


If your Dad has already registered the aircraft,then he has already proved
to the FAA that he done atleast 51% of the work.So adding everyone else's
work up as yours is not going to work.You need to find a A that you trust
and will sign it off every year for you.You don't need a IA and a lot of
IA's around here don't want to sign off a lot of homebuilts,because it's
added liability and they don't count toward the four annuals they need for
the year.The problem I'm having is The local DAR closest to me don't want to
inspect my plane when I'm done..So why is he a DAR?Bob

You actually can apply for a repairman's certificate if you build the

certificate can be issued.And the repairman's certificate is only for that
aircraft and no others.

KR> Wing tanks transfer system

Why not just do like they did on the aircoops,back in the 40"s and run your
wing tanks thru your machanical fuel pump and into your header tank,with a
overflow line to return the fuel back to the wing tanks when the header is
full.Just a thought.

Just wanted to thank everyone that came to the after hour forms at the

because of the information that was shared by all at the late night forums.Look 
forward to future gatherings and more new planes.Congrats to Mark Jones on his 
first KR ride(hard to believe) and to Larry F. for a very successful 
gathering.I only hope Marks wife believes that smile is from the plane 
ride,because I know he still can't wipe it off.Again thanks to all that made 
this a fantastic weekend...

KR> Oshkosh Attendance - Disappointing

[robert glidden]

Did you get there in time for Mark Langfords forum on KR's?I got a lot of
questions answered staying around after the forum and taking with some of
the guys.As for the lack of KR aircraft,it would have been nice to see a
few.The next best thing was to drive to Mark Jones house up the road and see
his.Even got to set in it while it was running,love that corvair.Now the
wife is a little ticked off,I told her atleast one night a week off from
building on the house for KR work.You have to start gaining somewhere.

Just wanted to know if anyone knew what happened to the carbon fiber cords
that used to come off the trailing edges of aircraft in the 40's and 50's to
discharge static buildup. I worked electronics in the Air Force in the 50'
but got out of it when I got out and didn't do any more electronic work
after that, so I am not sure how they cope with static buildup on aircraft
surfaces now, ( I don't see the cords on aircraft anymore).

KR>Thanks to Mark

[robert glidden]

Hey gang
Just wanted to take a minute and thank Mark Jones for the hour of his time last 
night and for saving me from making a hugh possibly fatal mistake on my 
horizontals.I just want to let all the new builders know that that's what the 
old guys (figure of speech only) are here for,they are probly the best thing 
about building this plane.We get to learn from the things that did not work and 
make our adjustments without doing it three or four times.I've talk to guys who 
told me that Mark L. has made enough parts over to build two or three 
planes.This may be true,but for new guys like myself,I'm glad he did not give 
up.Keep up the good work.Mark J,thanks again for your time and the great ideas 
I took away from our conversation.

No need to get fancy, just four or six triangles cut on the end do fine.
Once you get the pipe through just put the wires or a pull string through
and hold the end when you pull out the pipe.  You could also use thin wall
pipe and leave it in as a wireway if you don't mine the extra weight.
