Aluminum works great.  I used 3/16" Nylo-Seal tubing as purchased from
Aircraft Spruce and installed per the directions in Aircraft Spruce
Catalog using Poly-Flo fittings.  It is still available.  I only used
Nylo-Seal for it's flexibility in the area around the rudder pedals. 
Nothing wrong with installing aluminum all the way through the system if
the brake cylinders don't move.  In fact, I would recommend it.  On my
plane, the brake lines transition from Nylo-Seal to aluminum before the
hydraulic line reaches the wheel fairings for fire prevention reasons.

KR> Gathering location

[laser...@juno.com]

Dana's offer sounds perfect.  

Keep in mind Mike Fox at Perry, OK has an offer open to host the
Gathering too.  From the tapes I've watched, everyone seemed to really
enjoy the Perry location back in the 90's.  It's interesting to wonder
what happened to those KR's and their pilots.  Don Betchan (sp), for one.
 He really had some fancy retractable gear on that plane.  Shame what
happened to it . . .

Dan, yes Lake Barkley had cabins on the park grounds.  It is a couple hours 
flight away from my home airport, i39, though.  In addition, the Kentucky State

Unless someone comes up with a solid negative reason, I am going to use

certainly check. My brakes are heel activated, meaning the master cylinders

KR> Re: Gathering awards

[Dan Heath]

I contacted EAA about that some time ago, and they told me that a person can
win only one award for their plane and once winning that award, cannot win
it again in future years.  However, I go with whatever Larry says.  No way
is perfect and you gotta go with what works best for you.  Larry has done an
AWESOME job over the years.  I have always felt a little sad for him, having
to do all the work while we were having all the fun.  Now, he will get to
have some fun too.  It is great to see people stepping up to the plate
again, to host the Gathering.

My line is all nylaflo but I agree.  Especially if you have tricycle 
gear and will use a lot of braking for steering.  I've heard of fires 
when the brakes heated up the tubing, it blew out, and burnt the aircraft. :-(

I'm thinking this is the size I used with Cleveland 500X5 wheels and brakes.

05-001151/4 OD X .190 ID NYLAFLOW TUBE$0.34

I measured a very short piece in the garage that I'm reasonably sure 
was brake line.  It was with my fittings and still had a compression 
ring on one end.  My caliper measured it at 1/4" O.D. and 3/16" 
I.D.  This line was even adequate when I had the 600X6 Clevelands 
mounted.  350 hours and 5 1/2 years and not a single problem, not 
even a leak.  I've not added fluid since December of 03.

KR> 2010 KR Gathering at I39

[n92...@cox.net]

Hi Dana,

I just sent Mark a note responding to an email as well which I'll paste here as 
using the blackberry for long posts are a pain. 

Start msg:
I probably should have waited to respond until I was at my computer instead of 
the blackberry to be more clear in my post. My intention was to ensure people 
knew they still had the option of offering their locations. I understand AJO 
would be too far for most KR drivers much farther than NM or Texas so the 
central location idea makes sense. 

Please don't misunderstand my post to infer some type of east/west rift. It was 
certainly not my intention. 
End. 

I heard about selling the RV. I just sold my EZ also. I sent a email back a few 
weks ago and left a phone msg as well. We will be making several mods to the KR 
design also and then build a light sport version.

Steve, I can't speak for anyone else but this has always been a democratic 
process where it is talked about on the KRNet but decided at the gathering. So, 
no I wouldn't think my volunteering to host the gathering for the third time 
precludes anyone from throwing their hat in the ring.

For many on the KRNet that do not know, I have sold my RV and am back to doing 
something with the KR design.  I'm thinking since I built one KR, and now one 
RV, I can put something together via the KR route pretty darn quickly with a 
few nice additions.

With that said, i39 is located in central Kentucky, 25 miles south of LEX 
airport so commercial transportation is taken care of.  The airport is just off 
of I-75 north/south and 20 miles south of east/west 64 making vehicle 
transportation to the airport very assessable.  The new FBO is very receptive 
to the idea and will have one very large hangar available to accommodate those 
KR's which fly in.  They are presently adding 500' to give them 5000' and a new 
taxiway.  A very large ramp area for milling around on.  Camping will be 
available just behind the main hangar, albeit no lake to "swim" in.  The 
airport is out in the country, away from congested areas.  Within about a mile, 
merely by making a right out of the airport, are two national motels and a 
couple restaurants.  A couple miles past that is the town of Berea, which is 
known as the craft capital of Kentucky for off airport visiting.  Having hosted 
the gathering twice before, a prior builder of a KR and having been around KR's 
as long as I have, I think I have a pretty good idea what everyone looks for in 
a gathering. 

I'm a big boy, if this doesn't sound like a good place, chime in.

couple restaurants.  A couple miles past that is the town of Berea, which is 
known as the craft capital of Kentucky for off airport visiting.  Having hosted 
the gathering twice before, a prior builder of a KR and having been around KR's 
as long as I have, I think I have a pretty good idea what everyone looks for in 
a gathering. 

I'm a big boy, if this doesn't sound like a good place, chime in.

Time to buy some wood.

KR> Brake Lines:

[Howard Goodwin]

There are bo-coos of discussion on brake lines in the archives.  I don't 
remember seeing any of pros/cons of using steel lines.  If there is, I just 
missed it. Since I am over 65, I have an excuse
To: Jeff Scott.  Jeff I cannot find 3/16 Nylaflex hose.  I like your idea, 
of using 3/16 in lieu of 1/4 for less swelling (which is my current 
delima)...could you bring some to the gathering?  I have found other make 
tubing but it is wall is too thick and the Ferrell/insert combination will not 
work with the thick wall.
3/16 steel tubing is readily available and I feel comfortable that I can 
arrange it in such a way that gear flex can be accommodated.  
If weight is a concern, I'll leave my pocket knife in the 
hangar.smile...
Ideas Please..

I'm pleased to announce that Dana Overall has contacted me and volunteered 
to host the KR Gathering in 2010 at his home airport, I39 ( 
http://www.airnav.com/airport/I39 ) in Richmond Kentucky.  I've been there, 
and it is a very good alternative, with lots of things going for it, and 
just about everything we are looking for, especially the right "guy on the

to deal with several areas like hats and shirts, forums, and that sort of

KR> Re: Gathering awards

[smwood]

In light of these concerns, and as host of the
Gathering, the individual awards this year will
be presented to the KR that scored the highest in
each individual area and if one KR takes home all
the awards, including "people's choice" and
"greatest distance flown", then so be it.  THEY
WERE ALL DESERVED.  If the goal of our awards
program is to promote ingenuity of design and
quality of workmanship, I personally see this as our only option.

Larry Flesner

Larry,
Good choice.  I can go with that.
EAA has used that methodology for their aircraft judging at fly ins for the 
last 50-plus years.

KR> 2010 KR Gathering

Let me just say that I'll admit that MVN is the perfect place for the KR 
Gathering as we know it.  But there are a couple of problems.  One is that 
Larry needs some relief (and Chris Collins, as well).  Two is that some of us 
feel like we're in a rut and need to fly somewhere new, explore new worlds, go 
where no KR pilot has ever gone before...[sorry, I watched the new Star Trek 
movie recently].  So given that, I once again propose that we hold the 
Gathering somewhere else next year, with the intention that it come back to MVN 
on a regular basis, because it is so perfect.  

So I'm going to volunteer to host it.  Not at my airport (it's short, narrow, 
and "private", requiring written permission to land), so I'm going to try to do 
what Dana did...have it somewhere else entirely, with me and some volunteers 
(hopefully) pulling everything else together to make it happen.   I only have 
two weeks to pull this together in a fashion that may convince the attendees at 
this year's Gathering that it'll work, and therefore garner their votes.  

Here's what I need:

- a location that appeals to a large cross-section of KR builders and pilots 
(not under ATC controlled airspace, please) 
- a few volunteers to handle each of the various areas, such as 
meals
banquet
hangar space, if possible, or maybe we can live with tie downs, as long as 
we can get out of the rain to meet
coordination with the FBO (I'll take this one, unless the "guy on the 
ground" wants it)
shirts
trophies
forums
local "guy on the ground" to arrange what I haven't thought of yet, if 
there's anybody local to the chosen airport

So the first step is clearly to identify a location.  Let's keep it off the 
net, so just send your proposed location to me at n5...@hiwaay.net and we'll 
start from there.  Please leave the subject as 2010 KR Gathering for me so I 
can keep up with them. It's almost a given that you might be volunteering for 
"local guy on the ground", but I think that's as simple as providing an idea of 
where some of the rest of the services above can be obtained.  That's not to 
say that you can't send me some gorgeous place a thousand miles from you with 
no expectations other than "consider this place", but I would hope the basic 
requirements would be satisfied...no tower, paved runway at least 2500' long, 
and somewhat centralized  in the major population area of the US.  At Dana's 
event we just put up a rental tent to get out of the sun, and that worked. The 
location was hard to beat, and come to think of it, Lake Barkley is certainly 
an option in my book, as well as Red Oak, Iowa.

Thanks,

KR> Gathering schedule / programs

[Larry Flesner]

Bernie Wunder and Sid Wood have volunteered to make presentations at 
the Gathering.  Sid will have a presentation on "mixture meters" and 
Bernie will share some video on "Highlights from Corvair College #14".

Bernie's presentation will take place Friday morning at 10:00AM and 
Sid's presentation will take place on Friday afternoon at 
2:00PM.  The exact location for the presentations has not been 
determined but will either be in the conference room or the main 
lobby of the main terminal building.  Location info will be available 
at the registration desk.


For Bob Lee:  Please update the schedule on the web page to reflect 
these changes.  Also, please include the Saturday morning 
"performance evaluation" run ( 8:30 AM) with the following web 
address:  http://www.krnet.org/misc/KRGatheringPerformance.pdf

Sorry I'm late with some of this info but I've been busy slapping my 
A#@, trying to put out the flames from the "burn-out syndrome" I've 
been experiencing of late.  This is the 6th consecutive Gathering I'm 
hosting and it's probably time for a break. :-)

KR> Enigma EFIS

[laser...@juno.com]

"It currently has no artificial horizon installed, which I would like  to

have before I do any night flying, as well as no turn & slip.   The
previous 
owner was considering adding an Enigma EFIS to the panel, . . ."

I put a TrueTrak ADI with GPS track readout in my small panel and I'm
real happy with it.  Gulf Coast Avionics had the best price.  

http://www.trutrakflightsystems.com/instruments_ADI.htm

If I had the room however, and the money, the Enigma EFIS you are asking
about looks like the cat's meow.  Chalkie Stobbert used it on his recent
successful Cape Town/London/CapeTown Henshaw Challenge GP-4 flight. 
Plus, I think those two fellows who just flew their "Sling" around the
world had two of them installed.  Quality of South African made products
is generally excellent.

I agree that you need some kind of attitude reference in the plane.  
Before I put the TruTrak in I had an unreliable electric turn coordinator
and felt very limited in capability.  The ADI is simple and reliable and
relatively inexpensive.  It includes an inclinometer too.
