KR> Sanding Blocks

Little late but just found your email in spam folder.
Rap the sand paper around three sides and staple the two sides that you
don't intend to use.

I use Eudora and it was located under "tools", "options", "getting 
started".  It asked for "real name",  next box was "e-mail 
address".   I put what I wanted in "real name".

What are the cables attached to and what transfers the movement of 
your feet to the cables?

Yep, that's the answer!  For you folks who are "shooting blanks" and your 
emails to the list come back with simply "via KRnet", you need to enter your 
name (or email address) into your email program's "name" field.  It's the 
place where it asked you upon setup for "your name" or something like that. 
Most email apps/programs are different, so google it if you can't figure out 
where it is, or call or check your ISP's web site.  I  know you can do 
this...

My real name in my e-mail program was blank.  We'll see if that fixed

KR> Flight Control Cables

2014-05-15 Thread Rob Schmitt via KRnet
Just looked it up to confirm. "Fabricating Controls Cables", on page 120 of
"The Sportplane Builder" by Ton Bingelis. It was the 1st of Tony's books I
bought - but I did end up with all four by the time I finished building the
KR. Concur with Mark on their value.

3/32" is plenty.  If you don't have the EAA series of books by Tony
Bengelis, you need to buy all four and read them ASAP.  I'm pretty sure it
covers the details of making these cables, although I'd have to see whether
it's Sportplane Builder or Sportplane Construction Techniques that goes into
the most detail on these.  These are most vital of the four are the two
"Sportplane" books ( see
http://www.amazon.com/Sportplane-Builder-Aircraft-Construction-Bingelis/dp/0
94571 ).

I use just a bungee cord to adjust trim forces on my KR2S. Good cheap low 
tech solution. My rear trim tab is ground adjustable and fixed to handle 
just myself and full fuel. The bungee is needed when I have a passenger or 
fuel is getting low.

KR> Flight Control Cables

Paul,

I used 3/32s for my KR. Used an inexpensive hand swagger ($20). The Tony 
Bingles books as a reference.

KR> Rudder pedals

2014-05-15 Thread via KRnet
Quoting Phill Hill:

"Hi guys, I'm working on my rudder pedals.  The 5/8 x .035" tubing seems
a
bit "springy" to me.  Did everyone else use this tubing for their rudder
pedals or did you go up to .049?"

Sparky lost his first KR to having the tubing called for in the plans.  A
gust caught him when flaring here at KSEE and in recovering broke the
rudder tubing which left him without rudder.  He ended up clipping
something stationary and breaking his left wing and pretty much messing
the plane up beyond repair.  So . . . don't skimp on the rudder tubing is
the lesson here.  

My KR rudder pedals have no tubing, just cables running directly back to
the rudder - just another of the nice design features that Ken Cottle had
in mind when building N335KC.

As my kids would say,(text?), ROFLMAO,   I too have  a Piet Oscar, love it,

list for my KR build as well as my BD-5 build. Great idea all around.

I do give it that test every night, and the biggie for me is the flap
installation.  I just got the proper bolts and pins to install it last
night, and won't get the last key part, a new brush pack for the motor,
until Thursday.  Like Larry, landing it without some kind of deployable drag
makes me very uncomfortable on my short and narrow runway.  Of course I
should probably just learn to land slower...

this is a test.  this is only a test.  if this were an actual e-mail
