Hello KR builders,



Do any of you have any of these 2 inch pulley wheels in your stock you wish
to unload?









Happy New Year.

The brake design came from Larry Fraser. ?The master cylinders ?are Match I got 
from Wicks.
?Before I started building I went over and saw larry's airplane. ?I was really 
impressed for the amount of room down by the petals with hinge point up on the 
shelf.?

I'm having a great weekend. I epoxied my firewall in after finishing my 
brakes yesterday. Today I temporarily installed the landing gear and the engine 
mount. with all this done I had to put my engine on.
It looks like all the measurements came out great. The oil filter is 1 1/2" 
from the firewall. My 56" 60p cloudcars propeller sets 9 3/4" off the ground. 
The level is 0.2 deg. Nose low. 
Can you Corvair guys look at my prop and tell me if the pitch is the right 
direction. The guy I bought it from said it would work. But I'm not sure.?

Corvairs turn counter-clockwise when viewed from the cockpit, rounded 
(leading) edge first.  So that one looks correct.

KR> Belly Board

I used a hole saw after the foam was glassed.  It cut the glass and 
foam like butter.  I then touched the inside of the holes with a bit 
of flox/resin to seal.  I guess I could have used the "divots" to 
attach to the belly but I'm guessing the difference it would make at 
cruise would be less than the width of the needle on the ASI.

Your results may vary.

KR> Belly Board

[Dan Heath]

At that amount of deflection I never saw much affect.  After it starts going
past that, you feel it, and then when all the way down, it really makes a
difference.  I originally had a momentary switch on my down, but quickly
replaced it with an "all the way down" switch.  I get close to 90 degrees.

Far more important than whether the board has holes or not is whether it can
be extended to something approaching 90?.  Flying Jim Morehead's KR with
it's excellent belly board was several orders of magnitude better than mine
which only goes down 35 or 40 degrees.

 I have very similar speeds to Mark L. I use 90 on down wind, 80 cross wind and 
70 over the fence (mph) into ground effect which extends everything out a bit 
and just let it stall out to a nice smooth touch down right at 60mph. I also 
have gotten into the habit of slipping right down to the numbers to get into 
the ground effect as early as possiable. Naturally the speeds increase on final 
as the strength of cross winds increase.Joe Horton

KR> floats

Sorry for the confusion.I brought up floats as a way of addressing the 
tire sizing inconsistencies. Seriously, thanks to Mike for the heads-up 
about those unacceptable tires.

Some years ago there was talk about preparing a KR on floats to compete in
the Piccola Coppa Schneider race in Italy, but I don't think it was ever
done.  A Zenith Zodiac won the 2001 race (details here:

KR> Belly Board

[laser147 at juno.com]

> "Could you build up the area under the holes with epoxy/flox or
something similar so it would be level with the surface of the belly
board when it's tight against the bottom of the fuselage?"

It appears on my belly board that Ken Cottle took the circles of wood cut
out of the belly board when he cut the holes with a hole saw (I'm
assuming), and epoxied them to the bottom of the fuselage so with the
board retracted it is a flush surface.  Looks like Larry Flesner cut his
holes with scissors so that won't work if you use scissors.

When I first got the plane and was experimenting with things I covered
the holes with packing tape to see if I could tell any difference.  I
think it seemed to work better without the holes but was probably just my
imagination.  Far more important than whether the board has holes or not
is whether it can be extended to something approaching 90?.  Flying Jim
Morehead's KR with it's excellent belly board was several orders of
magnitude better than mine which only goes down 35 or 40 degrees.

KR> Belly Board

[Adam Tippin]

 I am not an aero dynamic expert.
I would how ever like to point out that if you look at a golf ball you will 
notice Dimples. These dimples actually decrease drag, by creating a circle 
effect 
just like the bed of a pick up truck with the tailgate up. In a sense, it 
propels the truck forward decreasing drag.
While i don?t trust Mythbusters fully, some of there data is quite accurate. 
This is one of those times that they proved the dimples help.

KR> Tire questions

[Dan Heath]

You're right, totally confusing.  I just gave up on all that and used 5 X 5
and don't even really care what it means cause the tires roll really nice on
pavement and grass.  For the numbers, I just hope that 5 X 5 today means the
same thing 5 years from now when I need another set, so I can get the same
thing when asking for a 5 X 5.  Now, you need to start thinking about how
many "ply" do you need?  How many is too much?  Is there such a thing as too
much?  How many is too few?  What are the consequences of all these
decisions I must make to get my plane rolling?  I think I will just go back
to bed.

How do these systems work? In neither case does my guesswork at what the
codes mean correspond to the actual dimensions of the tires. 

KR> Belly Board

[Dan Heath]

Now, you are hitting the nail on the head.  That is what I was trying to get
across on my first post on this subject.  Is the effort really worth the
increased drag, when the board with NO holes has worked on many KR?  Even if
you go to all that work to fill the holes when the board is up, you are
never going to be able to get a smooth surface, thus, will you be able to
eliminate all the drag caused by the holes.  Everything in Aviation is a
compromise, just pick your poison and build the thing or you will be too old
to fly it.

I always suspected that holes would give you more drag, and this confirms
it. But the problems with holes is how do you keep them from causing drag
when you're not using the belly board?  I'm pretty sure a surface parallel
to the airflow that's punched full of holes would have more parasite drag
than a smooth surface, and this would be your condition all the time. Could
you build up the area under the holes with epoxy/flox or something similar
so it would be level with the surface of the belly board when it's tight
against the bottom of the fuselage?
