Lance Neibauer went the other way.  Built a KR-2, decided he could
improve on it, and designed the Lancair.  

Last I heard his KR was in Texas.  One of the cleanest and fastest KR's
ever built I think.

KR> The saga continues

[Dan Heath]

Another long weekend, 24 more hours, and the tank building continues.  I
have really been dreading the task of attaching the tanks to the spars, and
spent all day today, getting one end of one tank attached.  Here is the
story, so far.

Gotta scroll down a ways thru the thumbs to get to the new stuff.



Leavin for the Gathering Thursday morning with Jim Brewer, in his Cheetah.
Yes, it does beat driving by a long shot.  I am looking forward to the trip
almost as much as the Gathering.

KR> Sometimes so simple

[joe.kr2s.buil...@juno.com]

Hey Guys,
The past few months i have been trying to improve the cooling air and lower the 
head temps. They were not that bad with the higest being about 350 at steady 
state in cruise. I rebuilt all the cooling baffels, sealed things up and have 
been screwing around with the outlet air opening. As i was putting the cowl 
back on yesterday after some more fiberglass surgery on the lower half I 
noticed that the 2" scat tube that feeds the cabin heat was hanging down in the 
opening. I moved it back up into place and reattached it and went flying. The 
head temps were a full 30 deg. cooler. I guess it is good to let the hot air 
out.
Gathering bound,
Joe Horton, Coopersburg Pa.

For those of us who don't have a KR to fly yet, a flying Mac Truck spam can 
(Piper Cherokee 140) is better than a driving there in Porsche of even a 
Silverado.

This morning I did my BFR in a Piper 140. Now I am legal to fly to the 
Gathering in my KR. That Piper was like flying a Mack truck compared to the 
KR. I'll take the KR any day any heavy spam can.

Countdown.ONLY 4 DAYS. YeeeHaaa

KR> Re: Interval between the bolts of the hinges belong to

[smwood]

I used 6 inches nominal spacing, but changed some bolt locations so that the 
bolt heads on the hinge halves would not hit each other during full aileron 
down deflection.  I used captive nut plates instead of stop nuts in the 
aileron spars so that the hinge halves would be easily removable; I can 
remove an aileron without having to remove the wing.  Otherwise the aileron 
hinge pin could not be pulled without removing the wing.

What is the interval between the bolts which connecting the hinges to the
wing in one side and the aileron in the other side?

KR> I Flew a Mack Truck

[joemals...@charter.net]

Mark,

I know about that, I try to find an instructor to fly with me in the lancair 
for my
biannual. The last 2 times I have been ok.  I let the instructor have a little 
fun
with the bird when we are done. I have started my kr 2 project.

sorry I cannot make it to the fly in due to I run the flight line and help 
organize
Merrill's airport days.

Every have a safe flight and I will try for next year.

Joe.
