Hey Guys, Recently I have picked up a pretty strong vibration right before lift
off and soon after landing. Having looked for it and not finding a problem I
just figured it was tail wheel shimmy on our grooved runway. Yesterday, I
hosted the local EAA Chapter 152 cookout. As things where winding down I took
my friend Larry up in the KR. Larry only weighs 135 lbs. Everything went fine
but I could feel the vibration again on landing. Rolling the KR back into the
hanger and getting ready to close up shop I ask Larry to straighten the rudder
and tailwheel for me. I usually just kick it around straight but trying to be
gentle he knelt down and picked it up by the tailwheel. That's when he called
out that the tailwheel assembly is loose. The Matco has one bolt holding it to
the leaf spring and it had gotten a bit loose letting it move from side to
side. Just as soon as he pointed this out I knew my problem was solved. I guess
where I'm going with this is, If your plane is telling you something, Listen to
it. It was almost embarrassing that he found the problem by accident and I
didn't find it even when looking for it. Looking back I had checked it with
full tail weight on the assembly and wasn't able to see movement.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Mike,
Is your leaf spring dressed to fit snugly in to the tail wheel assembly
"notch"? If not, there is a chance for side to side movement under load
and cause the bolt to loosen again.? Just a thought.
My KR started life with a Matco assembly 15 years ago.
http://myplace.frontier.com/~flesner/24.jpg
?The assembly didn't look quite right and I finally determined the
pivot bolt hole was not drilled "straight" but was at a slight angle
side to side.? I returned it for warranty and the new assembly I
received? had a larger diameter pivot bolt.? Not sure why the change.? I
later converted to an Aviation Products unit to knock two pounds off the
tail.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/y1bo4ljo7zum9z0/IMG_8762.JPG?dl=0
When Matco came out with a 6" pneumatic wheel I had my tail wheel arm
lengthened about 1 1/4" to accept the larger wheel and that seems to be
an ideal setup, light weight assembly with 6" wheel. The only problem I
experienced with the pneumatic wheel was tire slipping on the rim and
causing the tube to go flat.? Matco claimed I wasn't keeping enough air
pressure in the tire but I wasn't convinced.? My solution was to coat
the tire bead and rim with glue from a tire patch kit and I've not had
another flat in two years, since Oshkosh 2017.? Another thing, Matco
says if you have a flat you need to replace both tire and tube so they
won't sell the tube separately but again, I didn't find that necessary
as the tire never suffered any damage.? I flew home from Oshkosh with a
flat tail wheel tire, two takeoffs and two landings with no tire or rim
damage. I found the same tube they supply to be a wheel chair tube and
purchased on line for $7.50 each.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it...........

Mike said,

My Matco tailwheel assembly will accept 2 different widths of tail springs and
I had to make a spacer to fit under my wider spring to take up the space so the
spring would have full contact. I guess the bolt would come loose without the
spacer.

hey all, I did look at some posts in the archives, but was just wondering
lately about why we dont see more Rotax 912 or 914/ turbo in the KR's.
80/100/115HP and he weight is comparable but these have very good
reliability. Only downside is that they can be expensive even bought used.
Yes I know that a radiator is required but that could I supposed be slung
underneath in a cowl like a P51...
Thought I'd toss this out there and see what the institutional knowledge
base here comes up with...

Knowing the KR crowd, I'd say it's because $16,500 to $20,000 new for 80
to 100 hp is a bit on the pricey side.? Even used at half price is still
what most builders spend on that level hp new.
I wish I had the money for a Franklin 4A-235, 125 hp for $15,900.? A
lightweight 2S with that kind of hp and a good aerodynamic cleanup and
you could be dusting RV's.
Hey, I can dream, can't I?

Not to mention, the motors cited cost as much as some folks have in the KR they
fly.... nice to see the rich guys think the KR series is a viable flyer!! :). I
had sticker shock big time when Garmin announced their "affordable"
experimental glass panel 10 years ago+ @ 25K!
I'm still working on projects started by others... hope to fly before I die!

Went back out to the airport today and took another look at the tailwheel.
Everything should be fine now that I've tightened the dog snot out of it. I'll
also check it more frequently than every 2 years. ( Dog Snot... Southern slang
for pretty darn tight. )

Electric tachs have been known to short, which would take down the ignition
coil it's tied to. I've experienced that first hand. However, you are wiring
to a Dynon unit, and Dynon already thought of that. That's why they recommend
using a 30 k? "pull up" resistor. The Dynon unit isn't going to draw any
current as it only reads signal voltage and requires virtually no amperage. A
30 k? resistor as shown in the installation manual should keep a shorted tach
from taking down the ignition. That's why Dynon recommends using the resistor.
It protects the Dynon from the ignition, and the ignition from the Dynon unit,
but still allows the Dynon to read the voltage switching up and down at the
ground side of the coil. If you are concerned about the wire getting shorted,
put the resistor right at the - terminal of the coil. If you do the math on
the 30 k? resistor at 12V, it only allows .0004 of an amp (4 ten thousandths of
an amp) of current to pass through. That isn't going to affect the ignition if
you had a dead short on the tach side of the resistor.
Hope this explains the installation well enough.

Subject: Re: KR> RPM source for use with Dynon Skyview
Electric tachs have been known to short, which would take down the ignition
coil it's tied to. I've experienced that first hand. However, you are wiring
to a Dynon unit, and Dynon already thought of that. That's why they recommend
using a 30 k? "pull up" resistor. The Dynon unit isn't going to draw any
current as it only reads signal voltage and requires virtually no amperage. A
30 k? resistor as shown in the installation manual should keep a shorted tach
from taking down the ignition. That's why Dynon recommends using the resistor.
It protects the Dynon from the ignition, and the ignition from the Dynon unit,
but still allows the Dynon to read the voltage switching up and down at the
ground side of the coil. If you are concerned about the wire getting shorted,
put the resistor right at the - terminal of the coil. If you do the math on
the 30 k? resistor at 12V, it only allows .0004 of an amp (4 ten thousandths of
an amp) of current to pass through. That isn't going to affect the ignition if
you had a dead short on the tach side of the resistor.
Hope this explains the installation well enough.

Interesting!
I have a friend who has a Franklin Sport 4 engine for sale ( 400 hours on it ).
Always thought it would be too heavy for a KR2S.
He was building a Vision composite aircraft but recently gave up the dream due
to age.
Believe he only wants $3500 for it.
If anyone is interested, please contact me.
Thanks

Hello, in Argentina and EEUU can you buy a Rotax 912s 100 HP used in good
condition (with1500 to 2000 hs ) from $9.000 to $12.000, I bought one of this
and I ?m very happy with it, my plane is another plane
Can you see my motor in www.kr2-egb.com.ar

Knowing the KR crowd, I'd say it's because $16,500 to $20,000 new for 80
to 100 hp is a bit on the pricey side. Even used at half price is still
what most builders spend on that level hp new.
I wish I had the money for a Franklin 4A-235, 125 hp for $15,900. A
lightweight 2S with that kind of hp and a good aerodynamic cleanup and
you could be dusting RV's.
Hey, I can dream, can't I?
