KR> Gathering the after math

Just found out that Charlie Reeves at his last fuel stop, during take off he was hit with a cross wind that caught his tail. Which caused him run off the runway, where he broke off the left gear damaged the right gear and cowling. They are tailoring the airplane home. The full details are not

Also Charlie is fine Eric Pitts KR2S Terre Haute Indiana

KR> Awards

I do know that Charlie Reeves won best KR and best Interior. Richard Shirley won best FWF and farthest flown. Eric Pitts KR2S Terre Haute Indiana

KR> Awards

Richard flew in from California not sure how far it was. Eric Pitts KR2S Terre Haute Indiana

KR> G rating

Larry said: If you don't have a set of plans, find someone that does and check out the specifications in the front of the manual. In the front of the manual here on my desk it says " Design stress loading is + or - 7 g's at 800 lbs and redline is 200mph indicated" The date on my set is May

KR> Corvair Engine center line

What is the measurement for the center line of the crank in relation to the center line of Airplane? Needing to make sure my motor mount is in the right spot. How low should the mount bed be below the center line of the plane. My firewall is not stock. Thanks Eric Pitts KR2S Terre Haute

KR> C5 down under was Gathering location

"I wish we could take a C5a with all the krs loaded in plus all our bodies" For me I would rather take a C-17 because every C5 I have flown on has broken down in route, mind you some of the spots it broke at were very nice and some were not so nice. Eric Pitts KR2S Terre Haute Indiana

KR> Different Subject - "Headskins"

Ok, one more questionwhy do military pilots wear gloves? Is it fire protection? For fire protection and to keep a good grip when the hands get sweaty. Eric Pitts KR2S Terre Haute Indiana

KR> Aeropoxy Chameleon

"It will not set up for me. It has stayed sticky for a week now." How humid is it in your area? Has been real bad here and that will affect your setup time. We have been running in the 90 deg and 90 % Eric Pitts KR2S Terre Haute Indiana

KR> Air inlets for Cabin

Check these out at Wick's http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog/product_search_results.php/search=bmFjY Q== Eric Pitts KR2S Terre Haute Indiana

KR> Nose gear failures

How many nose gear failures have there been on KRs with the Diehl setup or any setup and what part failed? i.e. The strut the lower mount or engine mount Thanks Eric Pitts KR2S w/engine mount beening shipped today Terre Haute Indiana

KR> Nose gear failures

I was told my mount will ship today UPS, the rest I have just need to weld it to the mount. Just wanting to know how safe they are for grass strips. Eric Pitts KR2S Terre Haute Indiana

KR> Nose gear failures

Mark You could beef it up that way, you just need to make sure you do not take the heat treating out of the strut. Use small short welds Or have it retreated Eric Pitts KR2S Terre Haute Indiana

KR> hard shell layup

This has been cussed and discussed may time on and off the net. The benefit of hard shelling is when you are working alone and can not wet the whole wing and get all the glass on at one time. Note this is only known from research not actual lay-ups your mileage may very. Larry F and I had a good

KR>MOUNT

They are not done yet. Eric Pitts Terre Haute Ind.

KR>MOUNT

Lee will get his when he shows up after Oshkosh Eric Pitts Terre Haute Ind.

KR> Powder Coating

I think I would have to disagree with the statement "a more brittle finish and you may chip away the finish". If this were true it would not be so widely used by the Hot Rod group. As with any finish, the prep work will show. Eric Pitts Terre Haute Ind. KR2S

KR> cabin cooling

Joe I think it was Mark L who had the pic. I can not seem to find it right now, I think it was on Jim Fvone (sp) plane. Eric Pitts KR2S

KR> Armoural

On our F-16's the surface is not real smooth but we do put guards on the trailing edges for safety. Many have cut heads on the trailing edges. Eric Pitts Terre Haute IN KR2S http://home.att.net/~e.j.pitts/

KR> peel ply

I was under the impression that another use for peel ply was if you were going to add more layers too your glass at a later date or join two parts. I am I wrong in this matter? Eric Pitts Terre Haute IN KR2S http://home.att.net/~e.j.pitts/

About all you can do is send your money in and wait for her to send you the manual. She has been known to be a little slow, and hard to contact. But she does send the info out. Eric Pitts Hangerless in Terre Haute IN KR2S http://home.att.net/~e.j.pitts/

KR>Carburetor ????

Trying to find out what size engine this carburetor came off of. It is a MA3PA P/N 10-2948 and if it would be ok for a corvair. Does anybody know? Eric Pitts Terre Haute IN KR2S http://home.att.net/~e.j.pitts/

KR> Tail Graphics

Very nice Mark Eric Pitts Terre Haute IN KR2S http://home.att.net/~e.j.pitts/

KR> 10 Knots

I had my ASI checked out and it seems to be about 10 knots slow above 130 knots, but is right on below that. Should I have it rebuilt or just keep in mind that I am 10 knots slow above 130? At the low speeds for landing it should be OK. Eric Pitts Terre Haute IN KR2S

KR> WEB update

Mark that is new airfoil that I designed my self. ;) Mark said 'Hey Eric, I was looking at your tail section photo.you have the front vertical spar glued in at the wrong angle.. :-)' Eric Pitts Terre Haute IN KR2S http://home.att.net/~e.j.pitts/

KR> High EGTs

Take this for what you paid for it. This is from my hot Roding of diesel motors, make sure your EGT probe if installed in the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe is not bottomed out and touching the hot metal of the manifold or pipe. This would skew the reading on your gauge. You would also be read

KR> Capacitance fuel sender

How should the sender be mounted, I will be running MarkJ wing tanks. Should it be on top of the tank and bent to the back or on the front of the tank pointed to the back or on the side and bent to the back? Just looking for insight Thanks Eric Pitts Terre Haute IN KR2S

KR> Nose Gear

At one time I ran across the instructions on how make your own Nose Gear strut. But now have miss placed it. It told how to have it bent and what size tube to use, also how to heat treat the tubing. Does anyone know of this and where I can find it again? And yes I am going with a trigear. Eric
