Robert, You might like to look at my one piece wing at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/lhyder/ I got to finish it just before life took me to Alaska. It has not flown it yet. Lynn C Hyder

KR> Sign off

The DAR comes today (he's up here signing off an RV and a Baby Lakes anyway), but after a frenzied attempt to get ready, there's no way in the world he's going to sign me off today. There are way too many things to do before it's airworthy (which is not news to me, but I needed a reality check to

KR>Sealing leaks in Dan Diehl wing tanks

It now hold air pressure. That's how I did it, you may have some improvements, but it worked for me, and I did not have to cut any holes in the tanks, thus no repairs to the outside finish of the wing skin. My 2 cents worth. Phil Matheson Phil I always thought you had to sand a fiberglass

KR>Wind-milling

Many years ago Burt Rutan mentioned when trying to save weight in the VW powered vari-eze that you couldn't dive fast enough to air start the engine. (High compression - small prop) The fix for this is to put on a starter and electrical system. Lynn N37LH

KR>Dual Facet Pumps

Mark your dual fuel pump set up looks really neat. I'm wondering if the Facet pump has built in check valves and if you have considered a water drain located in the low spot. I have seen water collect in such a spot and then freeze causing a stoppage and in a Cessna, split the fuel line.

KR>Serge Vidal's Throttle Quadrant

Adding a mixture lever is very easy. All you have to do is to "pile up" two throttle units, which means you will add a third plate on top of the second plate. You'll have to make the second handle (mixture) the same way, but smaller, and bent suitably for clearance. You'll then use a longer

KR>KR Smooth Prime

After all the discussion about Smooth Prime again recently. ( Yes, we have discussed it before). I just want to say once again. I found it to be safe and easy to use with no shipping problems. It worked great for me. All I had to do was follow the directions. Lynn HyderN37LH

KR>TANKS IN OUTER WINGS

They only KR I know of that has flown with tip tanks was in South Africa and after the first few flights he discontinued using them. As I recall it was something about the way the little bird would wrap up in a spin. I think I read here on the web or maybe one of the old news letters. Lynn

KR>Curing temperature for epoxy

Hi, Today I did some fiberglass work on my project, but before I was done the temperature dropped to around 45-50 degrees. Can anyone tell me if the epoxy will setup tomorrow when the temperature gets back up to around 70-75, or will it not cure at all? Hopefully it is not ruined. Thanks, Rick

KR>Curing temperature for epoxy

With the chance of resoftening at 110 or so ? - why are we not encouraging the use of heat lamps? If it hadn't been for two light bars and six heat lamps at times, I never could have built my KR. ha Lynn Hyder

KR>Engine Quits

Don. We have a fly-in breakfast here in central Oregon the second Saturday of each month and Dave Figer fly's his over 1800 hour, Vw - KR-2 from John Day, Oregon. He told me this morning that he had a whole gambit of problems test flying his. He wanted me to tell you of how he found his ram

KR>More on waf

From Mike I've heard there hasnt been a waf failure "yet" but, wouldnt glassing the outer wing to the inner add lots of strength. Of course one would want to leave inspection covers in order to keep an eye on things but seems to me glassing the inner and outer together would be

KR>Coaxial cable

The thing you want to avoid with coax is leakage along the length of the cable. The longer the cable, better the shielding must be. On VHF and UHF the loss can be very high. When going from a transceiver across the back yard and up a tower, Hard-line is required costing dollars per foot. With

KR>Brake fluid

. What I have noticed is that the brake fluid in the last four or five inches of the lines next to the calipers has become clear and turns back to red just as the lines enter into the gear legs. What is this phenomenon? Does the red brake fluid turn transparent when exposed to sunlight after a

KR>Fuselage sides

Things are progressing fairly quickly here, though I've looked hard I can't seem to work outwether the fuselage sides and bottom are eventually covered with glass !! Doesn't seem to sayanywhere. Help??? I saw a KR on a ramp in southern Idaho one time, and everywhere there was a blemish or a

KR>Hinges

I used the aluminum channel on mine. Guys who have been flying with them tell me they wear badly and soon. Especially the rudder. Many drill them out and put in bushings. If I were to do it over, I would use steel channel. Steel would weigh more but, not as much as the pushrod ends.

KR>Pushtube

Pushtube from stick to the bellcrank length - 32" 6061-T6 5/8" .058 wall tubing with AN 3 bolts. from the bellcrank to the elevator horn - 67" same materials. The bellccrank has at least 1/4" thickness of material around each drilled hole. All AN 3 bolts are drilled and cotter pinned at

KR>Pushtube

Would it be okay to add another 1 inch tube over top of the 3/4" and secure it at both ends with the same AN3 bolts, effectively doubling the span? Colin Rainey KR2(td) It might work but, it would double the weight (and aft at that) and in a KR that's not good a good thing. You could cut the

KR>kr2 prop needed 2100d revmaster

When the inspector checked mine all he cared about was that the prop bolts were safety wired in the proper direction. Lynn I gotta tell U, when I had my signoff done I could have had a lawn mower blade on the front of 6399U and I don't think it really would have mattered. All inspectors

KR>Pushtubes

Also hooking anything big at all up to the elevator horn in the tail is a @#$%&^ ! No Room! Definitely need some experienced thoughts... Thanks. Colin Rainey KR2(td) Colin, You might just chop a hole in aft end of the rear deck and do it right. It's real easy to put some foam in the opening

KR>Access panel

There ya go... Sounds like a winner... In the years to come you might really appreciate having access to the area like that. Lynn N37LH Hey Lynn What about cutting a second access hole in the pilot's side of the tail? That would make it REALLY easy to work there. Colin Rainey KR2(td)

KR>Non KR related

Dear KR netters, I have seen this all too often. Someone emails a non-KR related email and 10 people flame that person trying to make an example out of them. I suggest that when a person sends a non-KR related email (does not happend too often) they append the word "NON-KR" to the subject line.

KR>Room share

I always thought NASA did all the research on the winglets and that Burt Rutan was the first to put it into use. Lynn The winglets were developed by Learjet in the 1970's. The early Learjets had almost straight wings. They were looking as swept wings as a means of increasing their efficient

KR>glide ratio

If it doesn't have an engine it's a glider. Lynn dan, what I was referring to was the mim. requirment to be considered a glider. I seem to recall somewhere (I could be wrong) that the FAA (friendly aviator association) required at least a 20 to 1 glide ratio ie..747 ect.. Mike Turner

KR>Removable rear deck

See: Ross Youngblood Has anyone looked at an actual removable turtle deck? I would like to have one. In the absence of other information, I assume that it is achieved with 3 one ft. hinge sections on each side using removable pins. Larry Severson

KR>(no subject)

There are a lot better candidates for these maneuvers, such as Dana's RV, then the KR. My opinion... Colin Rainey KR2(td) The need of some to try and make the KR something different is really quite amazing with all the wonderful design's all ready flying and tested. There are not many design's

KR>chemical corrosion coating for 4130 steel?

I got smart a while back and painted it along with some other stuff, but the fit was so tight on the holes that there's no way it'll fit back in the same holes, and enlarging them would be very tough I suppose worst case is that I figure out a way to open up the holes, so I'm open to suggestions

KR>Elevator Cables

Colin, Is the belcrank spacing the same on both ends? If one arm is longer than the other it could cause a loose cable condition. My guess is; check the control stops and be sure they are adjusted properly. Lynn N37LH Colin Wrote I bought a KR2, and do not have plans with the plane. The
