Bob,
I wouldn't worry about the taller canopy affecting airflow over the
tail. My KR is longer but I have a rather tall canopy and standard tail
surfaces, no problem.
Hi Larry;
Thanks for the info;
I was out at my hangar today and took a really good look at the seat height and
discovered that the back of the seat was about 1.5 inches above the top of the
rear spar. I think it had been reworked by someone at some point because it
looks like it was originally located close to the bottom of the rear spar. I
believe it was raised to accommodate the torque tube for the flaps which appear
to have been added after the initial build.
I removed the seat and did a modification to the fastening system for it and
and to the seat itself. It looks like I can lower it about 2 inches, maybe a
bit more. so that will help.
I have been looking on the KrNet at some of the builds trying to find others
who have flaps to see how high their seat is off the bottom at the rear spar
but am having trouble finding pictures of that assembly. I know there are quite
a few guys who have flaps and I thought there may be a better way to set up the
linkage that would allow me to lower the seat even more. That would save having
to raise the turtle deck.
Anyway, if you or anyone else can direct me to pictures of that assembly that
others are using that would be helpful. Also, those with flaps, how high is the
rear of your seat off the bottom of the rear spar?
All in all it was great to spend some time working on the airplane even though
it was only +1 C today. I am kind of regretting that I am going to be away for
two weeks now that I have the building bug .
As always, thanks in advance to all.
