Looks like it will be official.. I will be a KR Builder by the end of the weekend, I am purchasing a partially completed kit and will be hauling it home this weekend!
A couple of quick questions from a beginning KR builder!- >From the article Mark Langford put up on his website (I think by Neal) - it appears that the stick control is over sensitive - 3/4" in either direction is all that is needed to fly the KR most of the time. It would seem that it would make sense to shorten the hinge length/bellcrank distance so it would not be so sensitive, or have a progressive linkage if you couldn't get full motion out of the ailerons in a reasonable motion length... Also on the corvair aircraft engine, it seems like the RPMs for aircraft are lower and a higher RPM could yield a lot more horsepower. I understand the prop tip speed limitation, but would it make sense to have a shorter diameter prop with more blades? would that allow higher rpm and still obtain the same bite, without exceeding the maximum efficient tip speed??? I see the composite propellers often could have up to six blades - was just thinking about four! John Monday Laguna Beach CA [email protected]
