Any chance we can use our collective memories and come up with a list 
of year and location for all the past Gatherings?  I've attended 25 
of the last 26 Gatherings but can't remember all the years and locations.


1990 - Rough River, Kentucky
1998 - Perry, Oklahoma ?
1999- Perry, Oklahoma ?

2001 - Pine Bluff, Arkansas?
2003 - Red Oak, Iowa
2004 - 2009 Mt.Vernon, Illinois
2010 -Richmond, Kentucky
2011 - 2013 Mt.Vernon, Illinois
2014 - California
2015 -- McMinnville, Oregon


Others:  Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley, Columbia, Tennessee,  (all in 
the 90's)   Which ones am I missing.  ?

KR> Gathering update

2016-06-18 Thread Larry Flesner


I hope to have the 2016 Gathering  forum schedule posted in the next 
few days. There have been some changes and additions.   I'll advise 
when it gets posted.

If you haven't registered yet and hope to order a hat and shirt, 
please do so in the next few days.  I hope to place the first order 
in the next week or so and would like to include as many as possible 
in order to hold down shipping cost.

Thanks

KR> VW engines questions

2016-06-18 Thread Kayak Chris
Few VW questions, anyone know any significant differences between
Great Plains and Revmaster approaches to VW Type 1 engine?

In particular, Revmaster has a hemispherical chamber and improved
alloy in the heads. Wondering any feedback on that.

Also, would welcome any comments on ignition types, aircraft plugs vs
automotive, dual ign/plugs "required"?

And as far as electronic ignition, major pros and cons, and do those
have knock sensor options in this application?

One last thing, ken rands KR1 had the mag as belt driven and up high
so the engine could be against the firewall. I would like not to
extend the engine mount out just to accommodate a huge center magneto,
so anything which speaks to this would help.

Sorry for the newb type questions but I'm at where I'm at and some of
this info could be quite new.

Thanks!



KR> 19 year old KRNet "blast from the past"

2016-06-18 Thread Oscar Zuniga
Wow... it HAS been a long time, and there really are a lot of names that I 
remember from that era.  Mike Mims hosted me at his hangar in CA and showed me 
how to do a fiberglass wet-out and layup.  Right then and there, my first ever. 
 John Roffey, the maker of the famous wind tunnel model spars.  I had just a 
tiny bit to do with the development of the AS50xx airfoil, and am glad to have 
been a part of that.  Steve Eberhart, what a guy.  Of course Mark and Jeff- 
permanent friends of mine.  Troy Petteway.  Ross Youngblood.  Randy Stein.  So 
many others.
One thing stands out: a lot of you are still out there after all these years, 
still experimenting, still flying, developing, giving, sharing.  And it's still 
fun!

Glad somebody is having fun on http://www.sport-aircraft.org &.com & .net I've 
hosted those domains 12 years. I guess I should more actively promote the 
content...

Wow!  A bunch of names in that thread that we haven't heard from in ages, and 
many I had forgotten. 
-Jeff Scott

I was doing a search for some plenum differential pressure measurements last 
night when I ran across this snippet of KRnet archive that rekindled some old 
memories. 
See http://www.sport-aircraft.org/digests/1997/197.txt if you have 10 minutes 
to kill, and still remember those earlier days on KRnet...

?
19 years ago.? Reminds me that 19 years ago last week was the first flight of 
my KR.? 19 years and 1120 hours later, I'm still having fun... and still don't 
quite have the plane finished. :o)? Tomorrow the KR goes on the scales to see 
how bad I've fouled up the W with the changes this year... and to help me 
make a plan to get it right... again.
