KR> collapsing gear

[Gabriele Morino]

Dear David,
I sure like to have a copy of the quadrant gear lock system. And which 1/4 
plate alu quadrants were replaced with steel?Are the plate gear legs also of 
steel, and work as additional shock absorvers?
With many thanks?Yoshio Morino,Hamburg

 Betreff: KR> collapsing gear

First flight on my KR-2 was in 1984, built pretty much to plans including the 
original gear. Did not trust the mouse trap spring down lock latch. Norm Taylor 
of HAPPY ENGINES came up with the solution. a pin lock quadrant gear lock 
system.? Over the years I had to make other improvements: 1/4 inch steel main 
gear hinges, and replace the 1/4 inch plate aluminum quadrants with 1/4 inch 
steel; plus 1/4 inch welded cold rolled plate gear legs. 

Almost 1500 hours on the meter and hundreds (thousands?) of take offs and 
landings does take a toll on the retract system.? I can supply copies of the 
quadrant gear lock system if needed. 

In closing I have to say that the retract system has saved me from probable 
injury and prevented serious damage to the aircraft by collapsing during a few 
excursions off the runway and into the ruff ,and on one occasion into a snow 
bank.

The flight was worth the marinated grilled chicken breast lunch 
alone.  Thanks Michael. :-)

The KR flight and working on a KR was fun too.

I flew my 2013 VW Jetta TDI from about 13 miles away. LOL.  It's like
flying, really...

That't the widest KR I've ever seen.  You'll need the Corvair on that thing.

KR> Gathering Hotel info

[Dan Heath]

I just registered at the Vineyard and want to let Dan know that this is the 
first time I have called to register for a Gathering, anywhere, that the person 
who answered the phone knew exactly what I was asking for and was able to 
handle the transaction easily and efficiently.  The person?s name is Katie, so 
if you go by there, be sure to let her know that her professionalism is greatly 
appreciated.



I called directly to the reservation desk, (503) 472-0868

Hey, we just did it to FLY somewhere, and the free lunch, of course! 
Anytime I can put 5.3 hours on the plane on such a gorgeous day, it's a 
good thing.  Paul, Larry, and Phil did the work.  I just took pictures 
and offered commentary from the peanut gallery.  I can verify that 
Paul's dihedral is likely more accurate than most.

On the way back, I was able to do some more flight testing and gather a 
lot of data, including a glide back to my home airport from 11,500' with 
the engine at idle.  I also discovered that my oxygen saturation rate at 
9500' is 91%, compared to 98% at my normal 800' elevation.  Apparently 
most people don't get into cognitive problems until it's far lower. 
Just for kicks, I started breathing a little deeper and in a minute or 
so got it up to 97%, which is something I'll keep in mind in the future. 
  Yes, I do have an O2 tank, and carry it when I expect to fly high, but 
just in case, knowing that deeper breathing can help if I suspect I'm 
getting ditzy is a good thing.

Well, after a couple of tries, I got it to work this time.  I think the rate 
for the Vineyard Inn needs to be changed.

Tried to register, but it does not work.  I see something trying to direct

Also, I will order a hat, but I want to see what the shirt looks like before
I order one.
