Dear Mark:
I have been wanting to see Your airplane for a long time and talk to You
about the Corvair Engine and several other topics. If You are alone,can I
get a ride to Richmond, KY and then to Berea,KY?I am a ex-military
Aviator(2086 Hrs.). MY weight on my scales 118 Lbs. dressed. My local
airport K181 Pine Knot,KY. I will pay my share to top Your tanks or bring
road gas, We still have a few stations that sell the good gas in the area.

Subject: KR> Aileron Travel
Here's a problem that I'm sure some of you have encountered and I did
tonight but I'm not certain how to take care of it. I have some ideas but
want to see if others have solved it the same way that I'm thinking of. I
made the push/pull rods for the ailerons tonight. Once hooked up I found
that the ailerons only have 7 degrees up travel and 5 degrees down. This is
a KR2 not and "S" and the ailerong bell cranks are made strictly to plans.
I did incorporate the dual sticks as per Mark Langford's style but other
than that, the ailerons are stock. In order to get more travel it looks
like I need to redrill the hole on the bell crank with the cable coming from
the control sticks closer to the swivel point in order to increase the throw
of the bellcrank on the pushrod to the aileron. Is that clear? It simply
boils down to this. The ailerons need more up and down travel. How can I
get that with some simple modifications to the hole location? I know that
if I redrill a hole on one bellcrank I'll have to also do the other side
exactly the same. The sticks are traveling to their limit side to side so
changing them shouldn't be part of the equation.
Can any of you offer any suggestions? Again, this is to the plans so I'm a
little stumped as to why the travel didn't come out to the up 20 degrees and
down 10 degrees as called out in the plans. I would have thought that these
limits were built in to the bellcranks.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.
