KR> KR roll over protection
I made mine with alternating carbon fiber cloth and 1/8" foam. It was tested by standing on the bow with 300 lbs of weight. I have more pic's at home ?if desired.https://flic.kr/p/s3kGAQhttps://flic.kr/p/tcLYa3 Paul Visk?Belleville IL ?618 406 4705 Sent on the new Sprint Network from my Samsung Galaxy S?4
KR> KR roll over protection
Thanks. I am planning to use aircraft heavy wall tubing or even more abrasive...steel...wondering how they are being set. I do not want to drill into my rear spar. Suggestions? The force of a roll over can be many times the weight of an aircraft. A friend has a brake lock on his Mustang and he went over. He was fortunate. He recovered from a broken neck and rebuilt his bird. I don't really want that to happen.

KR> roll over protection
Hi Netters, Roll over is a problem. I have had the unfortunate occasion to watch two people die in a roll over and subsequent fire. I built a strong roof top protection into my KR. It is supported by a fixed windshield and front roll over bars as well as roll over bar at the back of the side windows. All has been done in glass. I hope never to test it. The top roof top is 12 inches wide and 2 inches thick . It runs from the front windshield arch to about 4 feet back from the back of the pilots seat. It is integrated into the turtle deck. It is one of the strongest parts of the plane, The rudder post is the stronger of the two. Ron Freiberger's passing is sad, but that is life. I will be 77 year old this week and I may be next.
