KR> 2015 KR Gathering @ McMinnville Web Pages Are Up
The prior KR Gathering web site isn't available any more. I volunteered to get something running. You'll notice what we have again is the web site that Bob Lee created and Sheryl passed to Mark Langford. Until Mark gets the KRNet.org link repointed, you can see the 2015 KR Gathering @ MMV pages here; http://bouyea.net/KRGathering I have most of the 2015 Gathering web pages ready; . The Home, Airport Info, Lodging, Schedule, Contacts & Cash Flow pages are updated . The Prior Gathering photos are available again. Thanks to those that said they were having a problem. It was on this end. . Marc Bacca & Greg Skidgel sent photos from 2014 and I'll build a photo page for Chino that is missing in action. Thanks guys! . Steve Glover said he'd get to the Cash Flow numbers soon Please note: we lost our current list of attendees. As soon as I get the Registration page working (hopefully tomorrow) I'll let you know you can sign up again. Sorry about that. Going forward I'll update the roster at least weekly. If you have any constructive comments, please address them to me at kr2s at bouyea.net Thanks for your patience guys! John Bouyea N5391M/ KR2 OR81/ Hillsboro, OR
KR> Secondary plugs
They do break down on car and bike leads. Most people just don't care enough, or operate the engine in ways that they'd pinpoint the problem to being degrading insulation on spark plug leads.

Mike, why not use same leads on the airplane?

KR> Secondary plugs
All ignition wire insulation breaks down over time, and if yours are not shielded wires, it becomes visible in total darkness when the engine is running. If you have a car or truck with a few years or many miles, take a look some dark night. You may be surprised at what you can see happening. Yes, it also happens with motorcycles , but usually their secondary ignition wires are not as close to a ground so is not that apparent other than performance degradation or poor spark. They also have metal core wires more often than resistance types, the latter which can also develop gaps in the conductor over time in any installation. Years ago, the worst case I ever saw was a friend's Olds 98 which he said "just wasn't running right" on a trip to SFO. I raised the hood while it was running one night in his carport, and it looked like the 4th of July, crossfiring and firing to ground everywhere. A new set of ignition wires cured all his problems. I agree that combining resistance wire with resistor plugs is a bad idea. George --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
KR> Nvaero plans/supplements
I ordered my plans in early Feb. , Emailed nvaero about the status last week, got a prompt reply which indicated the plans should be shipping out soonrobert?

I sent multiple, never threatening,? emails to nvaero inquiring about status and even asking to cancel the order.?

KR> Secondary plugs
Steve was using 10mm long-reach Champion G59C plugs for the secondary ignition when I got my plane from him. I've done a lot of research on plugs - both for the secondary system and for the mag - back when I was going through the engine and systems completely - and decided to stick with the G59C plugs because they are a bit on the cold side and are non-resistor plugs. Adding resistor plugs to resistor leads, perhaps with resistor spark plug caps, is way over-burdening the coils. To prevent RF interference one should use resistor leads or resistor plugs, but not both. Or you can do it and reduce the efficiency and life of the coils. I've recently revisted this subject while researching new leads for my Dyna coils that came with my engine from Steve Bennett. My current leads that came with the plane are red 8mm Taylor leads that look and test fine but I'm going to put new leads on anyway once I decide which ones I want. I wrote Great Plains about availability of theirs and to see what they are selling, also to order a new mag puck. So far no response but it was only a couple days ago that I wrote. I miss being able to call Linda or Steve. They always answered the phone. I think my coils are getting a little weak with time so putting some new leads ought to help. The miss I've been experiencing with the secondary system on the right rear cylinder was corrected by reducing the gap on the plug - which means my coils are getting weak, or the leads are arcing since they also have some years on them. I'm reading the insulation breaks down over time . . . but that doesn't seem to happen with car leads or my bike leads and they get a lot more use . . . so I don't know. Putting some new 10 mm Taylor leads on can't hurt. Waiting to hear what GP is selling for their secondary systems these days. I've been reading some performance forums lately (motorcycle primarily) and apparently NGK and especially Bosch are considered to be junk by the guys whose lives revolve around these subjects. They seen to generally love ND - Nissan Denso, which is what I chose for my magneto plugs a long time ago based on research I did then. W27ES-V fine wire plugs. Took a bit of looking to find them. They've been great and so have the Champion G59C plugs on the secondary. The miss on the one cylinder lately is not the fault of the plug.

KR> broken head stud
Had one break on the way to Red Oak,Iowa.Cylinder temp went up and was unable to make the gathering but the plane made it home ok.checked the head nuts and sure enough,a stud broke.Only time it has happened.Tommy W.
