I have two questions:

1) For those of you that have used ForeFlight, did your vertical speed 
indicator work? Mine works on the program but it is all over the place. 
Everything else works as it should.

2) Since my ForeFlight subscription is about to expire, is there a better 
program out there for an Apple device?

KR> brake problem at Barnwell

[Mark Langford]

Folks at Barnwell this weekend mayb have noticed I spent a lot of time 
fooling around bleeding my brakes Saturday morning.  When I landed 
Friday afternoon, I discovered I had no brakes at all!  Good thing it's 
a 5000' runway there.  If I'd been at home, I'd have ended up in either 
a swamp or a corn field, neither of which is particularly appealing.  Of 
course I should have tested the brakes before I left, but given that 
they won't hold the plane at full throttle (not even close), I've 
developed the habit of pulling off the asphalt into the grass, and doing 
a quick runup in the grass to check engine operation.  Apparently I 
never actually used the brakes to realize that they didn't exist before 
takeoff.  Energy conservation, I guess.  And yes, the checklist needs 
updating.

Anyway, even after bleeding from the bleeder up to the reservoir using 
an oil can from the bleeder end (thanks, P.F. Beck!), I still had no 
brake pressure on the right side, so further investigation revealed 
brake fluid puking out of the innards when the pedal was pushed.  
Probably a blown cup seal, which wasn't going to get fixed until I got 
home.  But how to get into my 2600' long strip?  I didn't even entertain 
the thought...I landed at nearby MDQ instead, with 6500' of runway.  No 
problem, right?  As luck would have it, given that it was the coldest 
morning of the year so far, I had topped the tires off before I left on 
Friday morning with 50 psi of air.  Of course I didn't think of this 
until I was flying back home, or I'd have bled some out.  I used well 
over 5000' of MDQ's runway to get stopped, and I finally switched the 
engine off to make the last turnout before the end.  I found out this 
morning the runway has an uphill and a downhill, and I landed downhill.  
Duh.  Mental note to self...pay attention to such things in the future.

I came back Saturday night with new cup seals and pads, and rebuilt the 
brakes by flashlight, and this time the bleed job held.  See the photo 
at http://www.n56ml.com/n891jf/brakes/toast.jpg for the 
culprit...pulverized brake pad and a cup seal that looks more like a 
fried egg than a brake fluid seal.  Looks like neither belongs on an 
airplane!

I think I see a set of Matcos or Grove brakes in my future.

I have a set of "vintage" Enginetics go-kart brakes for sale though, 
"freshly rebuilt", if anybody's interested..

KR> EAA Corvair Building

[Vance Simons]

Someone posted this on facebook. Great video. I was going to build a
Corvair for my Zenith 701 but got a deal on a local 912 which was a better
fit for my application. If anyone is building one I have a Corvair Crank
done by Roy at Roys Garage. Anyone who has done their homework knows Roy is
a stickler for things being right. Rods were turned .010 and the Mains
.020. I have $600 plus shipping into it. Will sell for $500 plus shipping.
I have receipt of work completed. Will sweeten the deal with a WW builder
manual and disassembly video.

KR> Stick imbalance

[John Bouyea]

Thank you to everyone for their replies and suggestions on fixing the stick
forces. I added a fixed tab as everyone described and I guess I got lucky.
It measures 5? wide by 1 ?? beyond the trailing edge. I bent it up about 30
degrees. Voila! That was enough help to the existing trim tab that so t now
operates effectively. Hard to believe as minor a modification could have
such a great impact on overall results. It?s ugly but very secure and now
?officially flight tested!? I?ll make a bunch of appearance improvements
after I get comfortable with its operation but for now I?m flying with a
working trim system. Gentlemen, Thank you.



Yes, about the same as Jeff reported.  I glued a piece of bent aluminum,
guessing at the amount of bend needed.  When I got it right, I riveted the
aluminum piece to the trailing edge of the elevator and
filled/sanded/painted and you can hardly tell it is there.

KR> "First" Flight Report

[John Bouyea]

Hi Tony.

Congrats on getting your KR into the air.  

Thank you, I?m still quite excited about it! And sorry for the delay in 
answering your query. I?ve been having too much fun flying since I got off the 
ground. C177A, KR2, RV8A, and a RV9A all in the last 48 hours. YeeHaww Larry!



I'm interested that you're operating from a 2,000 ft grass strip.
Let me clarify that point.

Our strip OR81 (http://airnav.com/airport/OR81) hosts about 15 airplanes 
ranging from RV?s (4, 6, 8 & 12) using about 1/3 of it to a Beech 36 who uses 
about ? of it. Most of the pilots here have flown from here many years and it?s 
what we just know and use. I actually land my Cardinal in less than factory 
book numbers when I?m really on top of it. I can get down and stopped in under 
600?. There?s not a lot of room for variance in speeds. There is something 
about only having so much available and just making it work. It?s a whole 
separate topic but ?Slow Flight? and being comfortable operating close to MCA 
has a big impact on being successful. In the Cardinal, I have more fun going 
slow than trying to go fast.



Did you have any concerns about your KR operating from your strip?  Is it the 
takeoff or the landing that uses the most real estate?  

Yes. I?m afraid it?s going to be the landing part that is the issue here. My 
first takeoff I was off the ground in about 800? no problem. That doesn?t leave 
much/ any room for putting it back down if there is a problem but that?s a 
given here. Friday, I launched from here and flew to MMV 
(http://airnav.com/airport/MMV) for my first landings. Having a mile of runway 
in front of me made that almost a non-event. My first landing at MMV I floated 
above the runway almost 1500? according to Jerry VanGrunsven. That simply isn?t 
going to work at home. My plan is to learn/ teach myself how to slow fly this 
thing. I don?t know who said it but Dan Pritchard reminded me he read that 5 
knots extra on landing could equate to 500? more landing distance. So to answer 
your question, landing takes more than takeoff.



What are the characteristics of your KR (engine, weight, flaps, etc.) that 
might affect takeoff and landing performance?
I?m learning to fly a KR2 ?kinda S? as it has an extra bay in the back but no 
2? extension in front of the mail spar.
Revmaster 2100, Great Plains 4-into-1 exhaust header (and I DO think it makes a 
difference)
About 630# and I want to reweigh it after the trim incident (separate message 
coming on that)
Belly brake ala Heath/ Jones/ Langford variety (long overdue updates coming to 
my KR web page soon)

Great big 5.00x5 main tires running at 20psi and Deihl nose gear without any 
fairing yet



Once again, congratulations.

Thanks again!
