KR> Nuts and bolts

2009-01-28 Thread Ed Janssen
Pat, Regarding the cotter (not "carter") pin hole - fiberlock nuts should probably not be used with a bolt having a hole within the threaded portion. The thought is that the sharp edge or a burr around the hole could damage the locking ability of the fiberlock, especially if the nut has been r

Eduardo, Go easy using a microwave - low heat - whatever. Mine started to melt the plastic container within 15 sec. Since then, I just bring T-88 indoors for a few hours or warm up in a pan of warm water. Ed Janssen - Original Message - From: "Mark Jones" Eduardo wrote:

2008-12-15 Thread Ed Janssen
Dan, I believe the regs say that if the airplane is equipped to carry no more than one person, an ELT is not required. So, if you fly solo in a KR-2 that was built with the intention of carrying a passenger, an ELT is still required. Ed Janssen From: "Dan Heath" Unless they hav

2008-11-25 Thread Ed Janssen
Dan, Not necessarily I would think. FPL-16A has been around a long time and used quite a bit back in the early KR years by a lot of builders (Steve Bennett was one of them). Guess it depends on what characteristics you're after. For the "newbies" - T-88 is awfully easy to work with, versatil

This isn't a plug for AIG, but I recently changed my auto insurance from State Farm to AIG - and saved 1/2 the amount of annual premium - actually a little more than 1/2. That kind of savings could help pay for your KR insurance. Ed Janssen - Original Message - From: "La

Nick, My suggestion: It appears you would have enough room to glue a plywood doubler (same thickness as the skin) directly to the skin, extending a couple inches on either side of the scarf joint. The doubler could be beveled on the sides (faired in to the skin) to make it a little less noticeab
