KR> FW: Fuselage dimensions for N729PK, rev 1
Joe I forgot to mention that that I used the NACA 63009 airfoil and added six inches per side to the elevator for a total width of seven (7) feet. The vertical stab is an additional 4" taller and I used the NACA 63005 airfoil. The wings are RAF 48 as I had the Diehl wing skins and the wing incidence is at 2 degrees instead of 3-1/2. > To: n357cj at ptd.net; krnet at list.krnet.org > Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2016 20:09:52 -0500 > Subject: KR> Fuselage dimensions for N729PK > From: krnet at list.krnet.org48 > CC: pkengr at hotmail.com > > Joe > I used all 14' of the longeron material from Wicks as suggested by Mark > Langford.

KR> Highly modified KR2S project for sale
Due to family issues, I am selling my KR2S project just when it was getting fun. The fuselage on this project is completely unique...it was built using aerocore which consists of strips of a sandwich of mahogany plywood and balsa bonded edge to edge and then covered with glass to form a stronger, more graceful shape than the normally boxy KR2S. It has been lengthened as well as widened to make the seating more comfortable. The Diehl tricycle gear has already been installed with Tracy O'Brien brakes. The engine is a 100hp corvair built per William Wynne's instruction manual with dual point distributer and an aerocarb. It has been installed but has not been run since right after it was built...it has less than an hour on it. I was planning on using the stock corvair exhaust logs, however when I installed it I found out that the mount is too close to the ends of the logs...so it will need exhaust manifolds like William Wynne's or Mark Jones'. I will include most instruments...altimeter, airspeed indicator, compass, turn coordinator...all bought used...not to be considered FAA certified, but tested. I was planning on using a venturi to drive the compass and turn coordinator...it is included. I will also include a Becker AR4201 radio. I also will include wing tip lights and landing lights. The wing spars are built for the AS5048 wing profile per Mark Langford's site. The wings have also been modified with larger spar caps to allow for a longer wingspan and higher gross weight than the standard KR2S. I was roughly estimating a 26' span. I am also including the wood and most of the foam required to complete the outboard wings including the outboard wing spars...the front spars only have plywood on one side as per the original KR2 plans. I am including the plywood necessary to complete the other side. I had my 6'2" son sit in the seat when I was building the canopy so it can take a taller pilot than the standard KR2S. The canopy still hasn't been attached, however I was planning on attaching hinges to the header tank and using struts like Mark Langford's. The standard sized KR2S turtle deck is also included, I was planning on splitting it along 4 lines and spreading it out to match the canopy...it should result in a graceful curve. I also will be including a standard 12 gallon KR2S header tank. I was planning on using it to gravity feed the carburetor with a 6 gallon tank (5x6x48) in each wing. I will include the William Wynn corvair conversion manual as well as the KR2S plans. I am asking $15,000.

KR> Tail Addition and fuselage lengths
Morning Folks, ?? I would like some more dimensions for the length of existing KR2 and KR2S fuselages, (foreword face of main spar to back side of firewall and foreword face of main spar to the intersection point of the tail post to fuselage bottom) I have about 10 so far but I would like to get 3 or 4 times that many to have a decent data base. ( I would like to hear from more of the overseas guys... I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to covert to/from meters) ?? The conversation below brings out the same dimensional issue as I am trying to document with the fuselage when adding what is the total dimension. I don't have plans in front of me but are we talking about 5 feet wide, 6 feet, or even 7 feet I had mentioned it a few weeks ago with the vertical stab... when adding height what is ?that from and to. I mentioned at that time for the vertical it might be better to talk in sq. feet. ?? Please send any data to n357cj at ptd.net ?I would like to get this out posted with inn a month allowing to get as much feed back as I can.

I built a 6 inch extension to my tail surface the way that Mark describe below. When I attach the new addition to the airplane I will t88 glue it to the tail and cover in carbon fiber. I want o overlap the old and new with carbon fiber. How far do I want to overlap? << I would have built the extension in place, as a piece of foam glued to the end, shaped using the existing airfoil, and then carbon-fibered in place, overlapping the existing stabilizer (after sanding to expose raw fiberglass) by something like 3"-4". ?T-88 isn't the first epoxy I'd have thought of for that job (the way I describe above), but given that it's already built, T-88 should work fine, as its thickness would help ensure all surfaces are in good contact. ?Rough it all up to ensure lots of "tooth", of course.
