KR> Wiring - To Matt Elder

I'm not sure I follow... I wasn't the one with the question?... My electrical system is complete, and actually to the letter of what you state. Perhaps a reread of the thread is in order? Thanks though :-) Matt Dave Dunwoodie wrote: >Hello Matt; > >I read all of the responses and thought

www.nvaero.com is the sole-source for new/original KR plans... Occasionally you'll see a set for sale from someone who thought they were going to build, and gave up... Or you might find a set included with a started-but-never-finished plane... But to start from scratch with new plans, NVAero is

OK- I have not ordered the plans yet, getting ready to next week. Everyone keeps throwing out names and such...so, WHO DO I get the plans from? Hmmm.? :) Thanks, -Barrett The plans NVAero sells originate from RR, and are the same plans that RR was selling in the nineties, I believe. The KR

I sent this early this morning, and never saw it on the list, so here it goes again. Jeff Scott has a theory that the ones that don't show up on the list are always "aliases", such as "KRnet" representing kr...@mylist.net , and this one is an example of that. Message below: Yes, the KR-1 plan

Hello Matt; I read all of the responses and thought I'd chime in as well. I think that everybody has you pointed in a good general direction, so perhaps I can help get to some specifics and recommendations. When I rewired both of my airplanes, the first thing to go was anything what wasn't te

KR> Grounded

Dan: It will depend on the shape of your axles, but this is what we have on the Aeronca Chief. A piece of tubing is sized to fit inside the axle, it has 2 holes to match the axle nut cotter pin and is held in place by it. The outer end has a large washer welded to it with a hole in the center

KR> Grounded

I have decided to ground the Black Bird again, due to the poor braking. Stopping is possible, but using brakes to turn is not, and this is what has made the decision for me. I don't know if it is the weight of the plane, or the way I have the Tracy O'Brian brakes installed. I did not have this pr

KR> Chrome plating fiberglass spinner

You can plate on fiberglass (and other non-metallic surfaces) with chemical conditioning that uses a palladium sensitizer, followed by electro less copper, electrolytic copper, nickel and then chrome. I spent twenty five years building circuit boards which are made on a glass reinforced epoxy subst

Good morning fellow netters! Well, the good news is that i have finally begun the work on N1333A. This with much thanks to Mike Sylvester up in Birmingham. Mike responded to my post about needing a set of original retracts for my KR. He sent me his old set, which has the drum brakes (l

One of the guys at my airport was telling me that he had seen fiberglass spinners that were coated with a Chrome like finish. Anybody know who does this? See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2012 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il -

KR> Old set of plans / manual disappointing...

Yes, the KR-1 plans ARE abysmally short on details. And while the KR2 plans were a giant leap forward, they are still far short of the benchmark that companies like Van's make for the RVs. And like Craig said, that is why this list exists, and the many websites at www.krnet.org where folks hav

KR> Old set of plans / manual disappointing...

The KR-1 plans were the first that RR produced and have not been updated in many years, if ever. The 2S plans will be much better, but still very primitive when compared to something like an RV set of plans. However, many KR have been built using them, which speaks a lot about how simple it is to

KR> Old set of plans / manual disappointing...

Yes Rich I had the same reaction when I got my plans and you have found the best and the worst reason to build the KR.  Thus one reason this list exists.   Do not worry, there is plenty of knowledge here to fill in the gaps left by the plans either in the archives or by posting you questions.  Th

KR> Old set of plans / manual disappointing...

Hello all, I am considering the purchase of a set of plans for the KR-2S but before committing, I wanted to get a look at a construction manual.  Recently I got a crack at just that: a KR-1 manual and plan-set from Rand Robinson Engineering which looked like they were from the early 70's s

KR> Instrument panel wire

Dave, generally Cat5 and automotive cable is insulated with PVC. PVC is flammable, burns readily creating copious amounts of thick, toxic smoke rendering it virtually impossible for pilots to see their flight instruments or BREATHE. I would strongly suggest you use aircraft quality wire (Tefzel)
