KR> Known Icing

[smwood]

I know that none of our KR aircraft are flown in known icing.  AOPA is 
advertising two products, LiquiGlide and Neverwet, that supposedly will 
reduce or eliminate icing on flying surfaces.  I saw the Neverwet boxes on 
the shelf at Lowe's paint department.  The T engineer in me immediately 
asks "Does it really do that?"  Any one have any experience with these 
products?  Wonder if it will let bug guts slide right off?  How about off of 
Plexiglas?

Dont get into icing with a KR.  With that said, Lancair has been looking at 
never wet.  Commercial grade.

KR> Speed Brake parts

[Dan Heath]

I believe that 6" is correct.  I got mine from NvAero, Steve Glover.  It has
a built in stop and has never failed me.  You can go to www.nvaero.com or
write to info at nvaero.com or call 1.800.515.4811



At one time, I knew the brand of that unit, and maybe someone else on KRNet
also knows about it, so I am going to include this email to KRnet, so if
anyone knows more about it, they can get in touch with you.

Good afternoon Dan

I am presently the engineer looking after a guys KR2 over here in
Townsville, Queensland Australia.

The reason for this email is that the existing speed brake arrangement on
this KR2 is ridiculously unreliable (it uses an old window wiper motor and
wire arrangement an no mater what I have done to prevent the wire form
coming off or jamming never works. So far its always only ever broken after
he has landed but would hate to find he needs to retract it for a go around
and find it jammed fully down) and after doing a Google search and also
looking on the KRnet site found your system.

My question is what was the final size of linear actuator that you found
suitable ? I am assuming that something around the 6" would do the trick?
would prefer a good sturdy unit from the states etc but all I can find at
moment is ones made in China. I suppose the items coming from China are
getting better but

Dan any help would be greatly appreciated.
