KR> Glassing Tiger Gear legs
I think when Dan Diehl tested the KR2 unidirectional glass legs that he manufactured or cut from from Scotchply he found that due to the offset in angle forward and outwards that there was a tendency for the legs to twist slightly as they flexed on landing. The glass 45 degree wrapping was intended to reduce that torsional influence. However, I don't know how significant either the twist or the wrapping to address it proved to be. Nor do I have any knowledge of how the Gruman legs would act although because they are thicker it is possibly even less of an issue. Scotchply has since been taken over by others (Cyply??) and is hideously expensive.

KR> Glassing Tiger Gear legs
I purchased the blanks for the AA5 series main gear fiberglass struts for $17.50 each plus shipping from Fletchair Parts - Call 800 FA-WINGS (329-4647) The parts that I made are on my KR-2 now and appear to working ok. The ready-to-bolt-on parts cost $245.00 each for the Tiger. The blanks are 1-inch thick; you will need to plane these down to 3/4-inch, cut to shape and size, and find some bolt holes. A power wood planer and a power metal band saw works well for the first two operations. I will not bore you with the details how to go about it. However, just one inquiry on this forum will get the details flowing to bore the rest of the 600 or so netters who really don't care about that.

I thought it was because the Scotchply was unidirectional and it was to prevent the legs from splitting through the bolt holes.

Phil, Structurally the added layer is not necessary but it will protect the real fine uni on the surface. I added a styrofoam leading and trailing edge then wrapped with one layer of 7533 (KR cloth) including all the flat surfaces with bolt holes. I then filled the flat between the leading and trailing edge with micro to smooth the contour. Pete
KR> Aircraft Spruce Gift Card & Future Gatherings
As promised at the Gathering, I checked with Aircraft Spruce today and found the gift card from Aircraft Spruce awarded at the Gathering Banquet was worth $25. I sent a note of thanks to Jim Irwin. Guys, from my perspective, I really don't care whether anyone reports back on the accounting about the various Gathering finances. Nobody is padding their bank accounts by hosting a fly in. From my point of view, those involved have all been forthright and honest over the years. In my previous email, I only suggested a donation to help offset the costs since this year wasn't yet at a break even point, and I want to help ensure the future of this event by helping build the funds for the future. Nobody had said anything to me about anyone's handling of finances and/or the passing of previous funds, nor did I intend to imply as such. If someone read it as such, please accept my apology as that was not my intent. My comments were strictly about ensuring we have this event somewhere again next year. How that got misconstrued into accusations, implications of impropriety, and aggressive defensive emails is beyond me, and really isn't of interest. At least for my part, any discussion about gathering finances was and is only intended to be looking forward. >From here forward, I'm going to sit back and allow whoever is on the Steering >Committee (I don't know if that includes me or not) figure out how we should >proceed from here, and will wait for the committee to float their ideas asking >for opinions. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM
