KR> Gathering 2010

How about Salina, KS?  The first KR Fly-in was held there in Aug of 1984.   "Ole Blue" was there.  I flew up from Altus, OK with my wife who was 8 months pregnant.  The son she was carrying, now wants to build a KR; coincidence?  I think not! Jerry Pryce At 04:47 AM 6/8/2009, you wrote:

FYI; friable means that it sheds particulate, not that it is brittle; although brittle materials are often friable. (Brittle materials have low fracture points). Mark W N952MW -Original Message- From: krnet-boun...@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-boun...@mylist.net] On Behalf Of Scott Perkins

Sorry, I guess I spoke of Marty as though there was only one in the world. Well, in the world of KR and KR Gatherings, there really is only one Marty. Marty Roberts came to the Gathering in his beautiful 0200 powered KR2 and gave rides from morning to night. So, if you say Marty around the long

KR> Prop Spinners

Would you have outside screws that screw through the spinner just like the rear bulkhead ? I've looked through about fifty spinners at the fly market at SunFun and I dont think I ever saw a spinner with two bulkheads. Sounds like a good idea though. I wonder what alloy the alum was and whether

One more thing on fiberglass spinners...I consider them to be safer than aluminum ones. If the spinner comes off on climb out, the prop is much less likely to suffer damage if it hits a composite spinner than if it hits an aluminum one. And as http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/spinner/

Dan, I heard it wound up in Spokane, Washington. Bud Midkiff Lynnwood, WA - Original Message - From: "Dan Heath" I wonder if we could talk Marty or Dan Diehl into hosting one? I sure would like to see them again, even tho they don't have KR's anymore. Anybody

How about taking a survey to see where most people live and get an average milege to a central location and make that the place to have the gathering?  Wouldn't that be the fair?  You would also have to have someone to host it. --- On Sun, 6/7/09, Mark Langford wrote: From:

Fiberglass Coatings, Inc. in St. Petersburg, Florida has DivinyCell and all kinds of epoxy resins, fiberglass, vinylester, and just about any other foam, coating, paint, resin or filler you would ever need for a boat or an airplane. I get all of my stuff there. Eric On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 6:19

KR> Good source for PVC foams like Divnycell ?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a supplier of good foams other than extruded polysteyrene that melts in the presence of fuel fumes ? Most Urethane foams have a terrible bond strength and are very brittle (friable ) causing delamination so those are to be avoided. Scott

I am surprised that some of our KR family got upset about the quick rejection of locations at the far corners of the country, but I do understand it. I too would have liked to host a Gathering, but I know that we live at one of those extremes. I would really like to get farther out West for a
