KR> gross weight

2011-08-29 Thread DAN INA GLANDT

Is the gross weight the same for the KR2s as for the KR2? The KR2 plans show 900 lbs. I suspect it would be more for the KR2s, but haven't found it. I did use the search engine and find the answer to how to do fuel flow on an engine driven fuel pump and some information on the climb angle.

2011-08-26 Thread DAN INA GLANDT

Yesterday was a good day. I have been worried about getting the cg in the forward half of the range as I am using a Jabiru 85 hp and had to extend the engine mount based on the wt and balance we did without the engine. I double checked my figures, but there was that nagging feeling about did

KR> larger wheel diameter.

2011-05-17 Thread DAN INA GLANDT

Curious if anyone has considered going with taller, narrower tires and wheels as a way to gain more prop clearance while keeping the frontal area about the same. I don't know of any in particular that are available, but thought maybe someone has researched it. Dan Glandt

KR> getting close

2011-04-19 Thread DAN INA GLANDT

I want to sincerely thank all who have contributed the the web site. I am getting close to being ready to fly (probably this summer) and the information gleaned by doing searchs has been extremely helpful. Thank you. I have been flying my VP-1 for years with the cg at the rearward limit and

A friend of mine is working on a Corvair modification for a Zenith plane. He has had the machining done to accept VW cylinders, has the 5th bearing etc.. He gave me the inside dia. of the VW cylinders as 3 11/16 in. The stroke is based on the standard Corvair Crank. He understands that to

What are your thoughts on the need to have an engine mount of 4130 that has been TIG welded normalized? Dan

KR> Landing gear idea

2010-10-24 Thread DAN INA GLANDT

A friend of mine who is 84 or so and flew recon P-38's in WWII was over looking at my project the other day and we got to talking about the landing gear. (taildragger). I mentioned that I had thought about replacing the composite gear with a taller aluminum gear, but since the wing is built,

KR> mounting wings

We used a twin bed air mattress and some blocking under the mattress so the wing was on the mattress. Worked well with one helper to shift wing around and push to get holes lined up. Dan

KR> Jabiru engine installation

2010-05-04 Thread DAN INA GLANDT

Barry, Thanks for the weight and balance information. This will be very helpful. I keep coming up with quite a bit longer mount for the KR2s. That may be because of the extra length fuselage. From reading through the forum on a search of cg, I am led to believe that the real cg range is

KR> Irrigation pipes for fuel tanks.

2010-04-23 Thread DAN INA GLANDT

Regretfully Rick passed away this last summer. I have taken over the project. The wing tanks were made from irrigation tubing squeezed somehow into a D shape and are mounted behind the front spar. I wish I could have seen them before they were built in. At this time I still haven't found

KR> fasteners

2010-04-12 Thread DAN INA GLANDT

Hi, Is there an accepted or common practice for putting screws into the fiberglass. I need to have several access panels to get to the aileron and flap links on the bottom of the wing. Have thought of things like drill a 1/4 inch or so hole through the fiberglass and into the foam.
