That's hard to believe Willie.  I took all kinds of things to SA when I
moved there in 1991, thinking I would never find such things in such a
"remote" part of the world.  I eventually came across, usually in JHB,
every single wierd thing I had brought with me.  I'll bet you've not only
got them, but got better ones than we have here.  And of course, they'll
cost more since they're probably imported from Germany or the UK and the
import duties are ridiculous.  But I wouldn't be at all surprised to find
somebody making them there in SA if you network a little more.

I have had 2 KR passed by the FAA or DAR with the plate under the Horizontal
Stabilizer.

I think that Christine engines is in Donalds SC.  I bought a VW case from
Pat, many years ago, for  my first KR.  That is when I converted it from an
1835 to a 1915, on his suggestion.  At that time Pat was making 1/2 VW
engines.  He built a foundry out back, behind his shop, where he would cast
the back plate for the engine.  His wife's name was, maybe still is,
Christine, and he had her name molded into that plate.  I thought he had
gotten out of the aero engine business due to his lawyers insistence that he
would lose everything if someone had an issue with one of his engines.

This is what I get when I Google Christine Engines:

Christine Areo Engines
361 Highway 178 S
Donalds, SC 29638
864-379-8677

Maybe I will give him a call and see if he is back in the Aero Engine
business.

KR> Back in the AIR

[Phillip Matheson]

After finding a sticky exhaust valve, I completed a top overhaul, (Done by 
VW Engines Aust) thanks guys, and my 2nd Annual inspection,(203 hours) and 
test flight late yesterday. While I had the heads off, and found larger 
carbon depots in the heads, they also supplied new rings.

Now all I need to do is to get it to run hot enough?
It rarely gets to, or over 300f.

I will be reducing the air outlet next to see what happens, but I'm waiting 
on a new CHT probs.

SO, I'll just fly around today, bedding in the new rings.

KR> Gathering weather

[Larry Flesner]

I just did a search for a 30 day weather forecast for Gathering 
weather and don't like the looks of their prediction. :-(  Lets hope 
they are wrong by a week or so.  We've had five years of acceptable 
weather.  Let's hope it holds.

They are generally located near the tail, under the horizontal 
stabilizer.  I think the reg's say they must be to the rear of the 
entry to the cockpit or something like that.  Somewhere in the reg's 
it specifies.  Someone will come up with chapter and verse.  :-)

KR> Gathering awards

[Larry Flesner]

Gathering attendees / netters,

I'd like some opinions on just how the awards for KR judging at the 
Gathering should be handled.  In the past we have had several KR's 
that won most, if not all, categories and took home all the 
"bacon".   Some have expressed an opinion that the awards should be 
"spread around" with no single KR receiving them all.  Please post me 
an e-mail to  fles...@verizon.net  and not back to the net.  I'll see 
what the consensus of opinions are and take them in to consideration 
while making a decision.  I'll keep my opinion to myself for now.

Thanks..

Larry Flesner

Congrats Howard!  Still working away quietly.. I too misread your post
to mean you'd changed the alignment and done taxi tests.

Even on grass, when it is aligned, a difference is very noticeable.

KR> Was CHT , Now Mixture Meter

[Willie van der Walt]

Hi Mark
I went to the Sid's presentation at Oshkosh and would like to fit one in 
each of my KR2's but can not get the stuff here in South Africa. Can you, or 
somebody willing, make up all the pieces and sell it to me? Including the 
indicator.

I am replacing mine tonight. They have a life of about 100 hours with leaded
fuel.

Sid is absolutely right in that a mixture meter is the way to find your
Stoichiometric or ideal fuel/air mixture.  However, I have heard that they
won't last very long when used with leaded fuels.  Of course that may not be
a problem for much longer, but for now it still is.  I'll direct the
question to Sid or others using the meter Do the mixture meters have a
longevity issue when used with leaded fuels such as 100LL?  Thanks in
advance for your answer.

Ever heard of a mixture meter?  Show up at the Gathering on September 18 &
19 at MVN and I am sure there will be several flying examples.  IF you want
to hear it, I will be glad to tell you all about mixture meters.
