KR> KR Project for sale/trade

I have a KR 2 Project that I started in the early 80's That I need to get out of my shop. It has a been widened 4" lengthened one Bay (I think 11"), has spar location altered for AS504x (6 as I recall) and a dragonfly Canopy These mods were made before the KR2S eas released (not the airfoil

KR> Glassing Tiger Gear legs

Phil, Structurally the added layer is not necessary but it will protect the real fine uni on the surface. I added a styrofoam leading and trailing edge then wrapped with one layer of 7533 (KR cloth) including all the flat surfaces with bolt holes. I then filled the flat between the

KR> rudder stops

"Hey Guys, Looks like I'll be doing Rudder stops as an afterthought. What's the best place and method for this ?" I don't often contribute but I think this time it is important. My take on this is; I am installing stops at both ends. The reason: I hear it is accepted good practice to

KR> Subject: center spar analysis

I checked my work in the morning!! The real answere is...I=66.7 in4 (2774.3cm4) so Z= 25.7 in3 (421.1cm3) does this sound more resonable? Pete Original Message - From: Pete and Karen Gauthier<mailto:gauthier0421 at msn.com> To: krnet at list.krnet.org<mai

KR> Subject: center spar analysis

Has anyone tried computing the section modulus of the front center spar? I should probably wait until tomorrow to check my work but I get I=36.7 in4 (152.7cm4). Z = I/c so Z= 10.2in3 (41.5cm3). I used dimensions from my CAD drawings and they are before any trimming for the airfoil but I

KR> Gear Legs

This thread started as a request for the dimensions for the Diehl legs. The Rand Robinson Engineering legs being replaced are 7075 aluminum, very similar to the one Steve just described and the mount/bracket is cast aluminum (very stout cast aluminum). The legs angle out at 22 deg. (not much

KR> fletchair gear legs

Thanks Peter, I have a set of these legs and I heard that someone has done just as you suggested, cut them in half, but I don't know how that worked out. They are 1" thick. I don't think it would be good practice to reduce the thikness not having any information on the stacking and I'm

KR> N424DG first flight YouTube link

Following is a link to the YouTube video of Peterbuilt1, N424DG's first flight 1st Flight of the PeterBuilt1 - KR2 Notice no float on the landing. Ed reports the flaps are very effective, he expected to float way down the runway as fast as he was. I

KR> First Flight

N424DG is no longer a hanger Queen! I want to thank Ed Stepec, a fellow EAAer and former KR Owner. He did the taxi testing and flew the first flight of N424DG this evening. from the ground it was a perfect take off and a perfect landing. It was a short flight, only 10 minutes but he

KR> Manifold Pressure

I'm getting close, I might be able to make the next gathering. right now I have another question. I am installing a manifold pressure gage and would like some suggestions for locating the source. I have the HAPI intake ducts with an aerocarb. I am considering welding (or brazing) a half

KR> VW dip stick

I have a HAPI 1835 with a Rand Cowl. The dip stick is easily accessible through the air intake but it cannot be removed without removing the top of the cowl. How do those that are flying VW access the dip stick. do you Modify the dipstick, cut a door in the cowl, remove the cowl? Any

KR> HAPI spark plug wires

I am reinstalling the 1835 HAPI engine and two of the Auxiliary (automotive) plug wires are to short for my comfort level. Making a new set of wires is not a problem but... Does anyone know how HAPI formed, or recommends replacement of, the seal on the plug boot? Thank, Pete Gauthier
