KR> Folding wings
Belly flap, is not in the true sense, a flap. As I understand it, a flap will give you lift and drag and a belly flap/belly board/speed brake, just gives you drag. It is good to give you a better view of the runway without picking up too much speed. With flaps, you will get both, but from the research I have done, you will not get very much of a lower air speed. If I recall correctly, the most I have heard is 5 MPH and the least is better than 2 MPH. If just putting flaps on the center section stub wing, you may get as much as 3 MPH. Since I have never installed flaps, I can only give you what I have been told by several others who have done it. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics?

I completely agree with Marks statements. I had another home built that used spring taper pins..fairly quick and easy to remove but still kept the Sonerai 2 at the airport to avoid eventual wear and tear as well as the inevitable rash and mishaps involved in towing not to mention the real possibility of another driver doing something to cause an accident. To get a slower stall speed flaps, belly flap or even a different airfoil (check with the experienced on this) are a solution to slower stall speed. Doran N186RC Saranac, Michigan U.S.A.

Well I was thinking along two separate directions. Have some made and sell them, or, have some built as part of a group build. At this point I am not interest in sharing or selling the plans. With the plans and a sample, building some more is not difficult. I would be most likely trying to do one of the above. I believe that the wing folding mechanism represents only a small part of what is necessary to safely remove manipulate and nest the wings. - Original Message - From: "The Ainsworths" To: "KRnet" Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 10:12 AM Subject: Re: KR> folding wings Orma Glad to see your 'at it'...

KR> folding wings
About those folding wing plans. I Got a set. Still in the envelope with all the ceertified postage stuff. Every now and then I wake from retirement slumber and reconnect. While looking for other things in my file cabinet, I ran across the set of plans that I purchased from the Col back in 91 (You remember back during the gold rush). First thing I went to was the page with the "NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS AFFORDED TO THE MOORE FOLDING WING KIT & PLAN BY LAW IS STRICTLY ENFORCED IF ABRIDGED BY ANY ENTITY7 AND/OR PATENTS FOR PROFIT. EACH ORIGINAL SET OF PLANS WILL BE NUMBERED & SIGNED BY COL. R.W. MOORE." Next comes the Waiver of liability. In this section he says that if you are crazy enough to build and use it don't call him if you get hurt. Missing is any mention of how many I can make with my LEGAL plans. How many do you guys want., and how much U willing to pay. Send me the mock up and tell me how many. PS.

I don't mind that at all. The main thing I'm interested in is making the process of attaching and stowing the wings easier. This fixture should allow me to handle the wing less, and support it in position while I attach the bolts, which is perfectly acceptable to me. -- Glenn Martin KR2 N1333A Biloxi, MS, 39532 rep...@martekmississippi.com

KR> folding wings
Actually Mr. Moore directly copied the wing folding arrangement on the Bower's Fly Baby and John Monnett's Sonerai. It's no more than a sliding tube with a u joint - the tube slides out at the wing root which provides support for the spar end and allows the wing panel to rotate, the u joint allows the wing to fold back parallel to the fuselage. I believe drawings of the Fly Baby are included in the early Sport Aviation's - do a search on Oshkosh 365. You still have to deal with unbolting the WAF's.

I am very in favor of having a "Prop Bank" network for this folding wing design, and many of the other things we use working on our KR's. I for one DEFINITELY could put the knowledge to good use as I need my wings to be folding to make it easier to transport as often as i am anticipating. Keep me in the loop please.

Actually, I'm glad you brought it up. I had looked at it and then decided to shelve it as I felt that I would feel safer with permanently attached wings. I did speak with Mr. Moore and ask him if I could transfer my "prize" to some other party and he was agreeable with that. They are his proprietary design, so they can't just be given out to the net at large. But they could be given to some other party who might use them, show them off and Mr. Moore could then sell some designs to other interested parties. Larry, if you think this might be something to set up for the Gathering, I will send the protype I have to you for possible display/distribution. Personally, I use the net as a vast resource. Some of the stuff is great and I can't wait to try it, some of it is just interesting but I would never use it.

I won the folding wings plan from Mr. Moore. He sent me his prototype ( which I still have to send back) so that I couls make my own. It does look pretty cool. Anyone can contact him direct at rmo...@alltel.net I believe he is selling the plans. I can tell you that they look very simple but effective. I still haven't gotten to the point of my wing construction to see if I am going to use them (wing tanks seem to be a hurdle) but I would really like to incorporate them into my setup. When I do the wings, I will post and give an update as to what I did. Hope this helps.

KR> Folding Wings
I actually bought the KR-1 from Mr. Moore this past weekend that has the folding wing kit installed. I removed the folding wing kit from it on Sunday afternoon and would be willing to sell it to anyone that is interested. It is very easy to install, I just don't have a need for folding wings. Please contact me if you would like some photos or info.

KR>-folding wings
I've seen it! I was at the Golden West EAA Show in Marysville back in June. There was a very strange bird that caught my attention. It was a Q-200 that had been radically modified. Both the front and mid wings had been removed and a kr-2 wing was installed in the traditional place ( under the cockpit ) , a spring landing gear was added,and if I remember correctly a "T" style horizontal stablizer was added on top of the tail. The reason the owner did this was the Q-200 was to difficult to handle during the ground ops. If all that wasn't strange enough, the thing that caught my eye was the folding wing! I should have paid more attention to the details but I remember he removed the aft spar and main-lower WAF bolts ( and I suppose the ailrons ) and folded the wing strait up. To do this I would think that he would have had to have a pretty wide gap between his wing and stub wing skins. I shoul have paid more attention to detail but it was hot and by the time I saw this plane I was burned-out. I do remember that the craftsmanship ( at least the exterior ) was less than perfect. It is amazing the quality and apperant condition of some of those aircraft. I wouldn't ride in them if my life depended on it, yet they've been around for years with hundreds of hours on them. By the way, I didn't see any kr's there. Paden Waldren Garden Valley, Ca (Placerville area) Making my oun WAF- and soon alum tube wing tanks.
