KR> Dynamo question - - a long time ago, I read/heard about possible dyanmos/generators/alternators . . . . . . . .

[erickelshei...@att.net]

   Yes they did have them on the Toyota Diesel in 1982 for sure 
I have one. You can find them on Ebay but they are not cheep and the vacuum 
pump is not with it. I can send you a link if you like but it is a heavy alt. 
not something I would want on an aircraft engine.

Have you ever heard of any such

Anyone tried the 35 amp JD Dynamo?  I tried looking up the 20 amp Dynamo and 
ould not find PN AM877557 on the http://jdpc.deere.com microfiche.
But I did find this info for the 20 amp and I found one that looks the same 
isted as a 35 amp for the JD 670 tractor

KR> EAA survey

[Bob Glidden]

EAA was founded on experimental aircraft, and I'm not thrilled that it's now

being expanded to "spam cans", a segment that is well represented in so many

ways.  Warbirds are nice from a nostalgic standpoint, but if I never had to 
stop another conversation with a KR builder to plug my ears while a Harrier 
showed off in front of the airshow crowd, it would be fine with me.


I think it is funny that the founder of EAA Paul P. started SAA a few years
back because he said EAA was becoming to commercialized. Wonder who
caused/let that happen. It is all about the money now. They would rather
have people giving massages and selling pots and pans then a guy selling
used parts. Anyone that knows me knows I love anything that involves an
airplane and Oshkosh is like therapy. If it was not for the great group of
people that get together every year, (most of them I met through this group)
it would not be worth going. It has became a family trip for us now and has
become the start of our family vacation every year. Oshkosh has always been
the place for anything new in aviation that hits the market. Both EAA and
AOPA are a big voice for GA and do a lot a great things, but I would love to
see the swap meet area get back to what it used to be. Anyone that goes to
Sun-N-Fun knows what I mean, their fly market is awesome. So go ahead and
flame away, but remember this is my opinion and has been shared by many
including the founder himself. We are the members and should have a voice,
if we all keep sending emails to them and voicing our thoughts maybe we can
get it back to the way it was.

Hi Guys,
can anybody tell me where to get Alu spinner 9 1/2 " dia. it used to be listed 
on KR catalog ??   Thanks    Yoshio

KR> Change in propeller size from 54" to 52"

[Jeff Scott]

With the O-200 on my KR I sent a prop back to the manufacturer to have some 
pitch taken out of the prop as it was turning about 200 rpm slower than 
desired. Rather than repitching the prop, the prop builder cut 2" off the 
diameter of the prop. I noticed right away that it took significantly more RPM 
to taxi and while the engine turned more rpms, it also used more runway for 
take off and had degraded the climb performance. While the engine could make 
more PRMs and HP, the prop efficiency dropped way off. I replaced the prop due 
the the poor performance of the shortened diameter. The prop tips do a great 
deal of the hard pulling, so cutting down an already short prop almost always 
has a degrading effect on the taek off and climb performance of the aircraft.

 I also experimented with this using an inexpensive Sterba prop on a VW powered 
Avid Flyer that I had built. The prop was simply too much of a load for the 
engine. After discussing this approach with Ed Sterba, I marked off the prop 
tips in 1/8" increments. I spent two days testing the plane then trimming 1/8" 
off either prop tip, then testing again. With each 1/4" removed from the 
diameter, the RPMs came up and the climb performance made marginal gains. Then 
it reached a point where the next 1/8" got me more RPMs, but degraded climb 
performance, so that's where I stopped.

Ditto's to what Mark wrote.
