KR> Wheel positionong

Hi Gavin This has been discussed before on the list so a search of the archive should yield results (see below). I'd love to see the details of what you are doing so please post them on a web site somewhere (maybe Mark Langford could put the details somewhere on his site or I could put it on mine).

KR> TBOs

The 85HP Jabiru 2200 seems to be an ideal engine for the KR. You can find an acrobat version spec sheet at http://www.jabiru.net.au/engines/2200A%20Side%20A&B.pdf. Jabiru recommend a TBO of 2000 hours (with a Top Overhaul at 1000 hours). It also has a 200-hour / 12 month warranty and I understand t

KR>Want to buy KR2, 340 lb. cabin weight limit?

Thomas I have been flying for about 30 years now and the Cessna 150 (152) is still my favourite aircraft to fly. I'm very slowly building a KR2 as a single seater because I could never get myself plus my wife or either of the kids in and stay under a reasonable max weight. If I were you I'd either

KR>Flight test program

This might be of interest to people planning their flight testing program. My friend Howard Jones flies a Wittman Tailwind and has just put the original flight test program on the internet. His web site address is http://members.iinet.net.au/~tailwind/ The test program is very thorough and would

KR>Switch Ratings

One thing to remember is that an amp is an amp regardless of the overall circuit voltage. If a switch is going to get hot at 1 amp in a 125V AC circuit it will also get hot at 1 amp in a 12V DC circuit. So it's probably safest to look at current capacity and voltage as separate parameters when sel

KR>Scott Cable and Steve Jones Pictures

Dan I noticed that Scott's fuselage (http://kr-builder.org/ScottCable/index.html) has diagonal braces on the top surface. My old KR2 plans do not show these diagonal members so I assume the original design relies on the turtledeck to close the "box" and provide torsional stiffness for the fuselage

KR>Diagonal Braces

Hi Phil Looks like the diagonal bracing was introduced in the stretched fuselage in the KR2S. I spoke with a local KR2 owner here this evening and he said he put some extra plywood corner-bracing on the top of his KR2 boat but only because all the other joints had the plywood skin to help transfer

KR>type IV conversion manual dene colllet

Hi all The question of prop hubs and taper vs. parallel fit is discussed on the Australian Aeropower web site at http://www.arach.net.au/~munks/AEmenu.htm. This company has been producing VW derivative aircraft engines since the early 1980s. I have not seen a more comprehensive engine site anywher

KR>type IV conversion manual dene colllet

There is an article in this month's issue of the Australian SAAA journal "Sport Aviation" about Graham Schott's KR2 VH-XXS. This aircraft recently lost its propeller in flight and Graham and his wife Sue made a safe landing on a highway. It looks like the crankshaft had a fatigue failure near the

KR>(no subject)

Gavin I guess there are so many answers that none will be exactly correct. In fact my instructions don't even mention glass - the orignal design used Dynel fabric. Amazing how many people are not building to the plans these days! :-) You will probably find all you need by searching the archives a

KR>Rudder Cables.

Hi guys I am also a bit concerned about the rudder control system but I guess we shouldn't get too worked up about it because I haven't heard of any KR accidents from bent rudder horns. However I did find this interesting post on the matronics pietenpol list: "If you use pedals, they MUST be conn

KR>Kitplanes Radio

Hi all In case anyone missed it, Jeanette Rand gave an interview on Kitplanes Radio last month. You can listen to it on line by clicking on this link: She gave KRNet and the KR Gathering a good plug. Regards Phil Maley Perth Australia www.vk6

KR>problems with KRnet? Yahoo

Just a quick note about Yahoo groups. There is a lot of misconception about their service. Actually I defy anyone to extract another user's email address from Yahoo providing that user has indicated their address should be kept private when they registered. I don't believe I have received any spam
