[Dene Collett]

Hey KR enthusiasts, can somebody point me in the direction of lightweight
disc brake conversion for Azusa rims please.
I have a Sonex in the shop and the owner wants the cable drum system
replaced with discs.

Dene,

Go to the Sonex website and look at the accessories section. They just  
introduced a hydraulic disk brake for their aircraft and it fits Azusa  wheels.

KR> Rudder pedals

[jon kimmel]

I appreciate the responses...here is a picture of what I have come up with
so far.  I flipped over the pedals on the assembly I had and added an
extension to the pedals to attach the cylinders to the pedal side.  I
spread the pedals apart wide enough to clear the cylinders ok.  I like the
idea of attaching a fixed part of the pedal and I think I will do that
before I fix it in place.

KR> Disc brakes for Azusa wheels

[Jeff Scott]

Dene,

My hangar mate has the Tracy Obrian brakes and Azusa wheels on his Sonex along 
with the RV-7 rudder pedal and master brake assemblies. ?That worked out really 
nicely with only a tiny bit of modification. ?The brakes and wheels are light 
weight and the brakes seem to be every bit as effective as the Clevelands on my 
KR, although I can't vouch for how they hold up under hard braking. ?He also 
used the homebuilder full swivel tailwheel and round spring on the tail. ?The 
whole setup made for a really nice handling Sonex.

I consider "hanging pedals" to be the preferred method.  There is 
nothing on the floor to interfere with me stretching my legs out 
between the pedals, all the way to the firewall in cruise.  Very comfy. :-)

Some photos of my setup are on the web 
page  http://myplace.frontier.com/~flesner/   Scroll down about half 
way.  Since those photos I've added an edge fence to the right pedal 
so I can tell where my right foot is located and not catch the two 
center pedals at the same time.

I extended the firewall shelf back about 2 inches or so but the 
pedals could just as easily be mounted to suitable channel attached 
to existing firewall shelf.  You will want a fixed portion of the 
pedal and a hinged section for the brake.  Space them apart a bit so 
you don't drag the brake.  Additional spacing can be achieved by 
gluing a strip of half round wood trim to the bottom of the fixed 
pedal, thickness to be determined by spacing needed.

Use two light weight springs attached to firewall, one on each side, 
to tension and center the cables.  Also, before installing the 
pedals, beef up the 90 degree corner welds with a small 
gusset,  especially the assembly for the right pedal.  That assembly 
flexes with every rudder input and the weld will brake 
eventually.  Don't ask me how I know.  You certainly don't want it to 
brake on takeoff or landing.  Mine broke on the ramp.  Lucky me.

I probably have some additional photos I could e-mail direct if these 
don't answer your questions.  I also have a very rough hand drawing 
with some approx dimensions I could e-mail if someone contacts me off 
net a  flesner at frontier.com

KR> Rudder pedals

[smwood]

Jon,
I have hung my pedals from the "C" box at the fire wall with brake cylinders 
attached to the pedal arms similar to Larry Flesner's set up.  I had to 
re-work the installation when I found the KR pedals were too narrow for my 
shoe to fit between the rudder pedal arm and the master cylinders.  The 
brakes are toe actuated; so, keeping my heels on the floor, keeps the brakes 
off.  I put a small spring on each pedal arm to keep a little tension on the 
rudder cables; this also keeps the rudder centered with in the breakout 
range.  For the rudder, ring around cable tension (standard 40 pounds) is 
not needed on the KR.  For elevator and ailerons it is definitely needed for 
cable systems.  I have push rods to actuate the elevator and ailerons on my 
KR-2.

KR> SkyView Installation

[Teate, Stephen]

"I am overwhelmed at what it is going to take to accomplish this mission"

You have already accomplished the hardest part which is the airplane. The 
Skyview manuals are very good and so is customer support. I made the "mistake" 
of trying to install a very basic audio panel and was never happy with the 
results. I have now received the Dynon intercom and will be installing it as 
soon as I can get back to her.

KR> Rudder pedals

[danrh at windstream.net]

Larry F. has a good method for hanging them and I am sure he will advise you on 
that.  For the tension, connect the system in a closed loop by connecting the 
outside pedal on both sides via a pulley attached to the firewall.  Use a 
turnbuckle to be able to adjust the tension.

My Skyview and associated modules arrived yesterday.  I am overwhelmed at
what it is going to take to accomplish this mission.  Anyway, the Dynon D10
EMS and the SkyRadar - L ADSB are still for sale.  A couple of small items
are also left, but the Transponder and iFly 720 are gone.
