Very inexpensive model/toy RC helicopters are referencing an on-board "gyro
chip" to assist in stability.
Does anyone have ANY info on using these chips to cobble-up a simple
Turn-and-bank?
Other question: how accurate are these 'altimeters' installed in super-duper
wrist-watches?
thanx I was just curious and didn't really think thru the hurdles

Jeff, the RayJay turbo runs in a shell bearing much like that in which a

If the engine has not run for as long as you say then it is possible the

I am shortly to take delivery of a partly assembled KR2. The fuselarge is at

First off range figures are VERY misleading. ANY aircraft can be shown to have
a long range for its type if the engine is run slow enough and the basic tank
large enough. MOST of the time you will find that max range figures are
derived from an economy cruise setting of the engine, at an

Orma,
I've only been on the net here a short time but you seem to stand out as a
leading authority on the KR. I'm a first time builder and would like to
build one of these planes. What are your thoughts on a first time builder
tackling a project this size? What about engine selection? I'd like
On the new wing design with the stronger spars, because the wafs will be
farther apart, does this this also create a higher rating in the wafs?
I am pretty sure now I will be pushing the limit plus of the KR2S with this
foam fused flyer, partially because lets see, the HS is larger, fuse both
The net result of using a thicker wing and having the WAFs further apart is
that there is less stress on them. If the center point of the lift on your
wing was 10' from the WAFs and you were holding up 500 pounds of plane on that
one wing the torque would be 500 foot pounds. If your WAFs were

You are correct, as Brian said. I'm going to be picky here, but it's not
actually the WAFs that's the weak point, it's the wood
So then I believe the new spar was found to be about 18% stronger than the
old one, so add 18% to the gross load? 1239# rated load? 1200 with safety

I don't think you can make that leap. The spar is 18% stronger, but that's
not how it'll fail. It's the compression of the wood f

What a coincidence! I also am picking up a partially completed kit this

You have come to the right place. There is more information here than you
can use, and a lot that you will wish you did not have and should not use.
It is your responsibility to distinguish between the two.
