KR> KR crash reports

2016-05-13 Thread Jeff Scott
Don't know about the turbine KR or Roberts Muse's KR, but I saw Bobby Muse's KR was destroyed in southern California in a fatal crash by the new owner trying to fly it home in ridiculously high winds. Seems to me that Don Betcham's KR ended up upside down somewhere near Rapid City, SD in an acc

KR> Fiberfrax, exhaust heat article

2016-05-13 Thread laser147 at juno.com
I've seen some net entries lately with the name Fiberfrax on the title and just came across this very good article on exhaust heat that mentions this product and others. I've always been suspicious of wrapping pipes and after reading this it's confirmed that it isn't a good idea. The article is t

KR> fire wall edge

2016-05-13 Thread n357cj
Someone recently asked about the treatment of the firewall edge. This is not my idea ... Pretty sure it came from one of the Tony Benglis books (should be in everyone's library) ?? I did a light tack of spray glue to attach the fiberfax and again a light tack to attach the stainless to the fiber

KR> Elevator safety wire or?

2016-05-13 Thread Rob Schmitt
I used a Castle nut with cotter pin on the hinge points. You want then to rotate, so you don't want these too tight, but you also don't want them to loosen, so you have the cotter pin. True these can be hard to install. I have cut outs from the bottom to install, access and inspect. No one sees the

The "smoke in the plane" thread reminded me of Doug Steen's story. Some of y'all know Doug from the Gatherings and SNF/OSH. He flies the Cirrus and a Tailwind now, but earlier it was a V-tail Bonanza and a Luscombe. He was flying from somewhere like VA down to Deland FL in his Dragonfly (or Qu
