KR> stub wing baggage compartment

2011-08-01 Thread Donald Greer
Crain, An interesting idea, but (there's always a 'but') I'd be concerned with a reduction in the strength of the wing surface by the creation of any 'hole' large enough to be accessible. To offset this might require a considerable increase in weight to reinforce the area. If I might

2011-05-18 Thread Donald Greer
If it hasn't already been mentioned, In many circles the seal you are describing is known as a 'form-in- place' seal. Working on military aircraft myself, we sometimes use tricks like wax paper, tape and even plastic wrap. More commonly, we use a spray-on Silicone Release Agent. Assures a

Excerpt from Wikipedia, "Nikasil was very popular in the 1990s. It was used by companies such as Audi, BMW, Ferrari and Jaguar Cars in their new engine families. However, the sulfur found in much of the world's low quality gasoline caused some Nikasil cylinders to break down over time [1],

KR> Trim Rings

2011-01-20 Thread Donald Greer
Dave, Got a couple of suggestions for you. First, you could have the rings waterjet cut. This method allows you a variety of materials to choose from since they will be cut from flat material. Second, if the right size of plastic (Delrin works well) or aluminum pipe can be had, you could

Paul, I'll assume that you already have some type of graduated scale behind the tube. Without actually seeing your set up, a suggestion might be to put a 'float' inside the tube. My two cents worth Don Greer Belleville, Ontario (future) KR2SS builder On 8-Jan-11, at 11:41 AM,

Good day all, Been looking over Bob Johnson's photo page (http://picasaweb.google.com/103552664644911775549/KR2SS# ) and have noticed that he has built his boat to be square at the corners, vice angled top to bottom as the drawings indicate. I'd be grateful if others who have built this way

Dene, I believe that the only flexible hoses which will get the nod from your inspector are the MS28741 series rubber hose assemblies. These hoses are rated for use both inside and outside of fuel tanks and, unlike a single barb with band clamp, have a threaded barb which engages the

Good day and salutations to all the members of KRnet and corvaircraft. It would appear that I too have been bitten by the bug to build and operate my own aircraft, mind you it took long enough. For over 25 years now I have been keeping the CF's 'fly boys' up in the air, having maintained
