*Added thought:*

If you are not receiving things posted to the krnet site, then something 
is wrong or you have never subscribed.

You can contact the net administrator to straighten it out, here:

krnet-ow...@list.krnet.org.

If krnet mail is going into your trash or spam folders directly, maybe adding 
krnet.org to your mailing list would work.
If it is something else peculiar to Windows 10, I am ignorant of that system so 
of no assistance there.

KR> Help for KR Building

girls in TV soap ads are barely real."

Oh yeah . . . they're real.  You just need to be a little younger for
them to smile at you with anything other than pity.

As for planes, the KR is almost always passable (except for that one with
the tiger teeth markings that showed up from Ft. Smith, AR).  That was a
truly ugly one, (but with character) and at least it was a taildragger.  

Here's a couple pictures of mine (Ken Cottle, builder, not me) I uploaded
to my photo host.  I need to add some more photos to the site - will do
so with time.

https://goo.gl/0snwAH
Mark Jones, I'm sad to see you and your many years of "Yaa Hoo's!" pass
on into the sunset, if that's what you're doing.  Maybe you just came
into some money and are buying that new Cirrus Jet (or better yet, an
Eclipse 550 - much more plane for the money.  It's a little baby
Learjet.).  I sure would (the Eclipse 550, not the Vision Jet) if I had
the money.  Anyway  . . . you've contributed at least two KR's that I
know of to the world KR population so I congratulate you for all you've
brought to our world and wish you the very best with whatever you are up
to.

I have been thinking about Phil Hill's unsuccessful search for help for his
KR project and a few points come to mind.


Cal Parker in his plans and instruction booklet tells those who would build
a Teenie to go out to the airport and look at airplanes. Go into the shops
where airplanes are apart. Look at everything because every designer has
the same fundamental problems. Besides Cessna and Piper look at the
Citations and Lears too.

Look at other stuff like boats and race cars. Their problems are not unlike
airplane problems.


A couple stories. It's a few years ago when crossing the border wasn't the
hassle it is now, Peter, who is building a KR, and I flew to Toledo to what
was billed as a KR flyin.

As it worked out, there was one KR and to sum up, it was no thing of
beauty. KR builders have a sanding song. This plane looked as though the
builder had laid the fiberglass on the foam and patted it on with the heal
of his hand. But he got into the plane and flew away.


I listened to Chris Heintz of Zenith tell about standing with some members
of the French equivalent to Transport Canada or whoever and one them said,
"Look at this." One could see just by looking at it that the plane was
crooked. And the owner got in and flew away.


So don't be frightened. Remember, it's only an airplane. As they say, "it's
not a piano."


And don't be led astray by pictures of KRs or anything else. Those pretty
girls in TV soap ads are barely real. They probably use pictures of
different girls to make the ad, a face from one, an arm from another, and
so on.. So when one looks at a picture of part of a KR or other, one is
seeing only that part. The part you see might be beautiful but for the
rest, it might be a good thing to keep it hidden.


Finally, there is the "three times rule" Don't be ashamed to make something
three times, once to sort out how to make it, once to make it right, and
once to make it to the standard you want to maintain. No one ever admits
that. And even though spruce has become expensive, working with it is more
productive than nearly anything else you might do which means it isn?t
expensive after all.

I read this and went and looked at nV aero site, and read the latest update 
from Jan 10. This update kind of explains the situation. I think what we have 
is an honest, sole source for KR parts and supplies, with lead times which can 
vary widely. I went through this with another aircraft supplier (long lead 
times, not great communication), who is highly honest guy who just couldnt keep 
up and, in my opinion, needed to do way better at business communication. I 
dont know if this post will help, except that it shows we are not alone with 
KR's. Maybe I should order my plans now, way ahead of time.
Parts and Plans 
Availability.http://www.nvaero.com/blog/parts-and-plans-availability/
Posted on January 10, 2015Parts and and plans lead times may vary considerably 
depending on our workload and suppliers. We are not a large company with 
several employees.  nV Aero is a company operated by one person with assistance 
from local shops and people who want to provide support to the KR community. 
This is more a labor of love as opposed to a money making venture.  We have a 
real job outside nV Aero to pay the bills and keep the lights on.  If you have 
any questions on parts or builder support, email is the best mode of contact.  
If you call, leave a message as our availability during the day is limited due 
to working a real job. Any profit made from the sale of parts and supplies goes 
directly back into materials and fabrication of parts to ensure the continued 
support for the KR series of aircraft. Threatening phone calls or emails will 
not help.  Please be patient, you will receive your order.  Sincerely,nV Aero

Unfortunately not all tablets have an actual GPS chipset in them.  In these
cases the "location services" are provided by what cell tower they are
connected to.  You really have to look at the specs an these tablets to
make sure they have REAL GPS on them.  I know the ASUS tablets have GPS on
them.  There are others, some of the Nexus and Samsung tablets do.  Not
sure about the thousands of others out there.

Having seen no serious reply to you question I'll give you what 
little advise I can.  Prop bolts are not necessarily "special", just 
longer.  Not sure what grade they are but usually see them listed as 
"prop bolts".  Check Aircraft Spruce, Wicks, or some of the prop 
makers sell them.  Saber prop extension lists them also.  Critical 
factor is getting them the correct length for your setup.

A bit of research on the net should get results.

I don't have my finished-up can of vinylester with me, but I'm pretty sure 
it says 5 CC's of resin per pint, rather than 5 ounces!  I don't think my 
gallon came with but about 3 ounces total of catalyst anyway.  I'm guessing 
that five ounces could cook off and cause a small thermonuclear explosion 
that could possible take out 4-5 neighboring hangars in about two 
nanoseconds after mixing.  So assuming my memory isn't completely gone on 
this, I used a tiny syringe about half the size of a pencil, which was 
something like ONE cc for the whole thing, graduated in tenths of a cc.  I 
mixed 4 or 8 ounces at a time to do my fuel tank, because any more than that 
would go exothermic and harden solid in 12 minutes in the hundred degree 
heat of my hangar this summer.  I found that 1cc syringe in some old stuff 
of Jim Hill's, and my veterinarian brother confirmed that he uses them on

On the first day of every month you should recieve an email from the list 
telling you some general information, including your password, although I 
don't see that in my Inbox for March 1st, so maybe they quit doing that. 
The link at the bottom of all messages ( http://www.krnet.org/info.html ) 
explains the process in the first sentence on the page, which is to visit 
http://mylist.net/options/krnet and ask for your password (near the bottom 
of the page) be sent to your current address.

Hi Peter.

Try http://mylist.net/options/krnet/

Enter your email address and password or click on the remind button if you
have forgotten your password.

I don't know for sure but I think that should let you know if you are still

To Whom it May Concern in KRnet

I have not recieved KRnet e-mail since the 7th Oct.

I thought that it was fixed when a number of you reply to my call for  
help previousily.  However I only received those e-mails sent to me  
directly and not via KRnet.

My ISP has suggested that KRnet has drop me of the send list or KRnet  
has blacklisted me.

Can the KRnet IT guru please check that KRnet is indeed sending KRnet  
e-mails to me and or check if I have been black listed.

Hello all,
I would like to say I never cease to be amazed at how our Net friends will pull 
together and help out someone when they need it. I can not tell you how many 
responses and phone calls I have had about needing bearings by this weekend. 
All of you should feel proud that we have such a good group of aviators that 
are friends to each other. This is a fine example of how the Net should be 
used. I would also like to say that I have a set of bearings being shipped 
tomorrow my way on Fed X from the beautiful state of Tennessee. Again, thank 
all of you for your responses and being dedicated to the cause. Let's all keep 
building and helping each other and all of us will live our dream some day. 
Thanks guys and gals.

I am in bad need of a set of main bearings .010 and a set of rod bearings .010. 
I have a rebuild scheduled next weekend with Mark Petz at Falcon automotive and 
it seems all suppliers are sold out of this size. If anyone has these and can 
do without them for a while, I could sure use them as I am desperate to get 
back in the air. I will replace them with a new set as soon as they come 
available again. Please e-mail me at flyk...@charter.net if you are willing to

Look like things were bent to clear stuff and then others had to be bent to
work. My suggestion is to cut an access panel opening as I did, and remove
the assembly, straighten the parts, and then re-heat and cool gradually to
re-temper (one of the engineer types jump in with specifics). Also, you need
to add a 1 inch spacer to that pushtube to improve the actuation and lessen
the wear on that bearing end. While you are at it, move the connection of
the actuation cable inboard 1/2" like Larry Flesner and I did to make sure
you will get full deflection of 15 degrees up and 20 degrees down.

[Dan Heath]

Yes, it certainly could have been better built.  It is crooked, how does it
operate?  Does it bind?  The thing that I would be concerned about would be
wear, and then an issue could arise.  Re-building it would be a good thing
to do, and is not difficult, since you have to repair that part of the wing
anyway.

I just bought this KR2, and have a question,

Please look at :

http://67.183.105.62/index.html

Is there anything wrong here?  I did NOT
build this, but it looks crooked to me.

Any ideas?

thanks

No binding, it seems smooth and solid.
It seems to me that the hinge pin ought to 
be parallel to the rear spar.

Could this have happened if the builder had
temporarily over tightened the cables?

I suppose that it could have been caused by that, but I doubt it.  I think
that it just did not fit  the way he wanted it to, so he buggered it up to
make if fit.  That is what it looks like.

Unfortunately there is no single wiring diagram that anyone
can send you.  Every KR will be different.  If you're building
you will have to draw one up as you go. For a KR already
built you will have to figure it out as you go when troubleshooting
a circuit.  Check out the site that Dan Heath posted and also
check the archives for hundreds of posts on the subject.  The
plans give a "suggested" wiring diagram but again, each KR
will be different.  Get a copy of Tony Bingelis' books if you don't
already have them as they are a good source and are easy
to understand.  If you are "electrically challenged", find someone
in the local EAA chapter that can help you out.

Good luck

[Steve Bray]

I would suggest that you look over what you have before ripping it all out. I 
believe you said you bought a project and it is already wired. Unless you want 
to start over you probably want to understand what is done and use what is done 
rightrather than starting over. Someone may have put a lot of work in there and 
unless it's really screwed up a lot of it may be useable. If it is all screwed 
up you may want to look closer at the rest of the work he did. I've found out 
the hard way that it's always better to look before you leap.Steve BrayJackson,

Using another long wire, disconnect the wires on both ends and do a
continuity check.  Mark the wires and draw up your schematic as you go.
You can even check to see if you have commonality with other circuits.

You could also buy an inexpensive multimeter from RadioShack/ACE/heck, even

than just continuity for about $20. They even come with (gasp!) instruction

 Luckily I was able to remove the aluminum gas tank from my KR-2, now I can  
really get at the wiring problem. Except for the electric elevator trim wiring 
 and the intercom, it should be a snap. 
By the way, I have 600+ hours in a Kitfox taildragger, and 
several hours in an  RV-4. I think they are about the same in the handling 
dept. 
Is the KR with 2"  extended engine more or less  twitchy?

KR> "HELP" /FIBERGLASS CLOTH

[Larry H.]

Randy, most of this stuff should be in the archives but here is a quick lesson.
Selvage edge=the two edges of the cloth as it comes off of a roll of material.
Unidirectional cloth=most fibers running in one direction off of a roll of 
material/parallel with the selvage edge with some fibers running perpendicular 
just to hold the main fibers in place.

Bidirectional cloth=strands of fibers interwoven, some strands running parallel 
to selvage edge and some running perpendicular to the selvage edge. Some cloths 
have equal numbers of fibers running both directions, some have more numbers in 
one direction or the other.

Biaxial cloth=two separate layers of unidirectional fibers running at 45 
degrees to the selvage edges at 90 degrees to one another. These two layers are 
lightly stitched with crossing fibers just to hold the two layers in place. In 
the old days you had to lay down one layer of unidirectional cloth, wet it out 
with resin then lay down a second layer and wet it out. This fabric is great 
for covering wing surfaces because when you roll it off of a roll onto a wing 
the strands of fiberglass are already at two opposing 45 degree angles to the 
leading edge of a wing for example.

Triaxial cloth=same as biaxial but has one layer of unidirectional strands 
parallel to selvage edge.

Flox=is chopped up cotton fibers that can be mixed with already mixed resins to 
create a thick structural filler for making structural joints.

Micro=micro spheres (glass balls is what I call them) mixed with already mixed 
resins to form a light weight filler (like bondo). 
The fiberglass cloth is laid on the surface before the micro cures. (then add 
more pure resin to wet out cloth)
This is usually used to cover the foam surface, which is porous, before you lay 
fiberglass cloth on it. The reason for this is to save weight. You can use pure 
resin over foam surfaces but it will run down into the porous surface of the 
foam and make your part heavier. If you use the micro mix over the foam first 
it will fill the pores of the foam and save weight. You can use micro like you 
would use bondo to fill low areas that you want to level on a wing or fuselage 
surface. You can use micro to fill corners where you need to adjoin (for 
example) a wing rib to the spar.

Wetting out cloth=I usually lay the cloth onto my parts then wet out with 
resin, but sometimes depending on the situation lay pieces of cloth on plastic 
and wet out with resin, then pick up the whole thing and lay it on the part, 
then peel off plastic. It is a personal preference as to how you proceed.

Landing gear=fiberglass landing gear legs are made from unidirection fibers. 
The bidirectional or biaxial cloth are used to wrap around the leg to help 
contain the unidirectional fibers from seperating or splitting apart. It makes 
the leg stronger is the bottom line.

Hope this gives you some directions to think about.
Larry H.

KR> "HELP" /FIBERGLASS CLOTH

[Ed Janssen]

Randy and Others,

If you are just getting started working with fiberglass, "Fiberglass and
Composite Materials" by Forbes Aird is a good reading source.  It seems to
cover most of the basic knowledge working with fiberglass, Kevlar, Carbon
Fiber, different kinds of resins (polyester, vinylester, epoxies), health,
safety, lay-ups, molds, etc. - and it is very easy reading.  I see that
Steve, at Great Plains, sells it for $16.95 plus shipping.  Barnes and Noble
and some others can probably find a used copy for you as well.  Even if
you've worked with these materials quite a bit, the historical aspect is
interesting reading.

KR> HELP NEED ADVICE!!!

[cahil...@union.edu]

Hi I am currently in the proccess of buying a KR-2. Before I seal the deal I 
have a few questions regarding some components of the aircraft. 

-First the engine is a HAPI vw conversion equiped with a slick magneto model 
#4216. I had heard some sqwaks regarding cracking of such models?? 

-Secondly the carb is a tilloston om-41a. Has anyone heard anything about 
these, I believe they were widly used by chrysler and on outboard boat 
engines.

-Third when taking a close look at the wings there are slight dips in the 
glass covering between each rib on the upper air foils. It slightly resembles 
what a fabric covered wing would look like. Is this normal?

I appreciate any information or advice in regards to any of these components. 
Thanks, Ryan Cahill

It's not "normal" but I have seen flying KR's with similar characteristics.
I'm guessing but I suspect that the "low spots" are actually the rib locations.
When the wing foam is not adequately supported between the ribs the
weigh of the sanding board causes it to depress.  Because the rib locations
don't depress, the foam is sanded at that spot more quickly and when the
board is removed the area between the ribs comes back up.  Remember,
this is only a guess and may no actually apply to your situation.  Unless
it's really bad I wouldn't consider it a "deal killer" but it is something you
will notice every time you look at the wing.  You be the judge.  If the price
is right, you could consider rebuilding the top surface of the wings.

As far as the 4216 mag,  It is hard to get parts and very hard to internally 
time.  I would replace it with the 4316 from Great planes.  549.00 plus 
shipping.  Spruce has it for the same price but they want to do the core 
charge thing.  Also the is the argument about DUAL ignition.  I have just 
put the light speed engineering electronic ignition on my KR2 with a soon to 
be shipped 4316 mag as secondary.

Ps does anybody need a slick 4216 mag for a core??
PPS there is a AD out on the 4216 mag for the coil.  If it orange it is 
supposed to be bad.  Do a google search on "magneto slick 4216" and it will 
fall out.

Hi Fred,

I know what you are saying, I bought my KR2 ready to fly and then took 15 
months to get it ready to fly.

Now I've got 80 hours on it and have taken it home to add wing stub fuel tanks, 
lower the undercarriage mount points (raise the aircraft) and fit a belly board.

I bought a KR2 project that I thought I would have flying in 5 months - 
that was late 2000. So in April 2--4, I bought a ready to fly Q2. I hope it 
will make its first flight this month. After the 40 hours, I can go back to 
work on the KR. It had wings that would not fit the attachments. I now know 
that the original builder put in the back attachments in backwards ( they 
face aft). I used to think that I underestimated time by a factor of 5 I wish!

KR> Help needed-Not KR related-Southern Cal KR owner's?

[Scott Cable]

Netheads,
I need some help in regards to a recent purchase. I purchased a Porsche 550  
body kit from this company called Perry D's Inc. on 5/24/05, and the company 
owner has not been returning any of my phone calls, his website is now recently 
shut-down.   The guy has $4800 of mine.  I'd like some answers if possible.


They are located at:
Perry D's Inc.
200635 Elkwood Pl.
Perris, Ca

Could any of the Southern California KR owners go check this place out for me?
Perris  is just SE of Riverside off of the I-215 (exit 37) & SR74.

KR> Help please! High Speed Miss

[Jeff Scott]

Brian,

Don't know if this will be helpful or not, but is something to check.  Under 
certain circumstances, my KR (gravity feed fuel system) used to either stumble 
or shut down during high speed passes and would re-fire as soon as the speed 
bled off.  It turned out that the vent for the header tank was in a position 
such that when I would get the speed up around 175+, I would get a sufficient 
negative pressure draw on the vent line which would stop the fuel flow to the 
carb.  A minor relocation of the fuel vent to ensure positive pressure at all 
speeds is all that was necessary to fix the problem.  

BTW, are you going to get your KR to SWRFI?  Weather permitting, mine will be 
there.

Hi Brian,

Also check that your tank breather is facing into the slip stream and 
pressurizing the fuel tank.
A fuel flow test on the ground may be different to when flying because of the 
breather location.

Hi Scott and all the others!
  I had thought of that earlier and checked.  My vent is next to my venturi 
on the right side underneath.  I checked it for a clog and ran air to see if 
I could hear it in the tank.  Mine is also a gravity feed.  I'm going to do 
the egt test for carb adjustment hat is called out in the revmaster manual. 
I might be able to get by with just a few turns out on the adjustment 
needle.  (we can always hope ;-)  )
  SWRFI!  I hope to make it.  My Scorpion helicopter won "Reserve Champion 
Rotorcraft" in 2003  not that I think that I will win any thing this time! 
So many fixed wings so few rotorcraft!!
  Jeff hope to see you there at HDO

I don't know diddley about Revflows, but everything you describe so far
sounds like insufficient fuel flow.  Wide open throttle only, right?  Is it
gravity feed?  If so, I'd do a fuel flow test and make sure you have more
than enough (I think the rule is at least 50% more flow than WOT would
require).  That's a start though.  Is it better with a full tank than near
empty?  That would be another clue.  ?That's where I'd start...

My 15 year old ( who is taking wood shop ) is cutting 8 or so gussetts for my

check the work, he did four already and they were perfect.

It's nice to make it a family affair.

My neighbor also helped a little with his 13" planer.

How many of you have had help, and to what degree?

lengthening the fusalage:
"I wouldn't have stretched the stabilizer at all had I possessed the 
foresight to extend my fuselage length another 14 inches(using the full 14' 
of longeron material that Wicks ships) by simply adding one more bay behind 
the aft spar for an increased moment arm." So I guess the question 
is: When ordering my wood from Wicks/AcSpruce, how long should I ask for 
the longerons to be? Longer than the 14' standard length shipped by Wicks 
- they will make them longer if required? How long is optimal - if one has 
the freedom to choose?

Question:
If I order longer longerons, will I also need to order extra plywood? My 
plans haven't arrived yet, and as you can hear, I need a little bit of help 
to get started...

Hi Duncan, I got my 5/8 spruce from A.S/S and it comes in 14 foot long 
sections...18 of them. That's plenty for lengthening the fuselage.



I'm ordering the rest of the spruce today as a matter of fact. You will have 
the most fun in your life putting this stuff together. It has been so telling 
about myself with regards this process. I have tried to make each piece as 
precisely as possible and there is great fun in that. More than I would have 
thought.

KR> Help needed to get me started...

[Duncan]

Hi there,
As Scott Cable has indicated, I am no longer able to purchase his excellent 
project, and have to revert to the original 
intention:  scratch-building.  The reason?  SCD (Sudden Cash 
Deficiency).  My Toyota MR-S sports car which was to finance the purchase 
of Scott's KR project was badly damaged by a prospective buyer, who left me 
with damaged goods and many bills to pay.  Yes, it isn't fair, and yes, I'm 
pursuing legal remedies - but nothing comes cheap or quickly.

So, it's back to the plans, the boat, and lay-ups.  So, some timely help 
will be very welcome.

Lee,

 Grind off all of that old foam and glass that was between the lower rudder 
and the lower tail post. Bond a new tail post right to what's left of the old 
one. When you remount your rudder hinge use bolts long enough to go all the way 
though both the new spar and the old spar and add a couple of though bolts 
with large area washers at the top of the old spar. If you really wanted to 
beef 
if up you could add a plywood doubler to each side of the fuselage with a 
nice chaffer on the leading edge. After you reinstall you H/S and repaint no 
one 
will ever notice that it's there.

KR> Help with a fix

[Stephen Jacobs]

Hey Lee

It has been said a few times now - sacrifice what is left of the VS
trailing edge (rudder post) by drilling loads of holes into it and
breaking it out (carefully) bit by bit - leaving the overlapping ply
sides  and Fuselage 5/8" spruce untouched and free of adhesive.

Start off with the replacement post a fraction over size and work it
down until it fits neatly.

Use the old top part as a template for re-locating the hinges.

Measure three times - cut once.

Don't forget to static balance.

I stared at the pic but cannot see what you were pointing out - what is
(was) wrong with the hinges - loads of slop?

Good luck
Steve J

Netters,

As some of you know, I'm re-dong a plane that is now 20 years old. I had to cut 
through the rear post of the V/stab.  I know need to re-attach a new post.  you 
see what I'm working with at the following link.  http://vandyke5.com/tail.htm  
go to the last photo.
 Any Ideas will be appreciated and considered,,, well most of them.
