At that amount of deflection I never saw much affect. After it starts going past that, you feel it, and then when all the way down, it really makes a difference. I originally had a momentary switch on my down, but quickly replaced it with an "all the way down" switch. I get close to 90 degrees.

I'm having a great weekend. I epoxied my firewall in after finishing my brakes yesterday. Today I temporarily installed the landing gear and the engine mount. with all this done I had to put my engine on. It looks like all the measurements came out great. The oil filter is 1 1/2" from the firewa

Sorry for the confusion.I brought up floats as a way of addressing the tire sizing inconsistencies. Seriously, thanks to Mike for the heads-up about those unacceptable tires. On 12/28/2014 11:21 AM, Oscar Zuniga via KRnet wrote: > Chris asked- > >> Has anyone put a KR on straight floats? > So

Oscar, Is that link to Jeff's float plane typed correctly? I get webpage cannot be found. Should be interesting. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics 2015 KR Gathering - McMinnville, OR. September 3 - 6 -- See U There. Peoples Choice

Chris asked- >Has anyone put a KR on straight floats? Some years ago there was talk about preparing a KR on floats to compete in the Piccola Coppa Schneider race in Italy, but I don't think it was ever done. A Zenith Zodiac won the 2001 race (details here: http://zenithair.com/misc/xl-schneid

KR> Belly Board

I am not an aero dynamic expert. I would how ever like to point out that if you look at a golf ball you will notice Dimples. These dimples actually decrease drag, by creating a circle effect just like the bed of a pick up truck with the tailgate up. In a sense, it propels the truck forward

You're right, totally confusing. I just gave up on all that and used 5 X 5 and don't even really care what it means cause the tires roll really nice on pavement and grass. For the numbers, I just hope that 5 X 5 today means the same thing 5 years from now when I need another set, so I can get the

KR> Belly Board

Now, you are hitting the nail on the head. That is what I was trying to get across on my first post on this subject. Is the effort really worth the increased drag, when the board with NO holes has worked on many KR? Even if you go to all that work to fill the holes when the board is up, you are

KR> Belly Board

I always suspected that holes would give you more drag, and this confirms it. But the problems with holes is how do you keep them from causing drag when you're not using the belly board? I'm pretty sure a surface parallel to the airflow that's punched full of holes would have more parasite drag th
