Hi All,
Sad to say my KR2S, VH-KRT, has been sold.

Thanks to all who inquired and apologies to the ones that missed out.

Hopefully I'll get back into another KR when I have the time to finish it.

KR> Fuselage width

2008-10-12 Thread Bavo
Darren,
I've gone for 40" internal also, with the widest point where the seat goes
(further back than the plans suggest).
And I've made it 'square' (ie. sides at 90deg to floor). This means that it
was VERY easy to get the top longeron flat, and there's plenty of room
inside. There has been some discussion about the merits of vertical sides,
it comes down to cosmetics.
I'll try to update my website this weekend so you can see how mine looks so
far...

Cheers,
John

Hi all,

Does anyone have, or know where I can get, a CAD file of the KR2S for laying

I'm intending to build the fuse 40inches wide, and need a drawing showing
this.
Hopefully someone has done this already...

I've made the fuse sides, so it start to look like something soon.

Moving the WAFs further outboard would also decrease the amount of dihedral.

KR> Springs

2008-10-12 Thread Bavo
Hi All,
I'm about to start gluing the fuse sides together, and am planning on using
springs to hold all the little gusset blocks in place (as per a few of your

Can anyone recommend what type of spring to use? What I really need to know
is how stiff does it need to be (and how 'stiff-ness' is measured)?

Thanks,
John.

KR> wood turtle deck

Chris & Co.,
I've been toying with the idea of wooden turtle deck for some time.
I'm not that far advanced yet, but am keen to go that way. Partly due weight
& cost, but also as I figure it will save time.
I'm doing my fuse in Hoop Pine ply (being an Aussie also, it's easier to get
here than Spruce).

Have you got a web page, or any pics?

Thanks,

2008-10-12 Thread Bavo
Hi All,
I live just out of Melbourne (Australia), and am having trouble sourcing
local timber for my as yet unstarted KR.
Does anyone know of a timber supplier in this part of the world (Victoria)
that has suitable timber?
Thanks,

 PS. Spruce is almost unheard of here, or WAY too expensive as it's all
grown in North America, so most builders use an Australian timber called
Hoop Pine.

Phil,
Most farmers up your way should have plastic silage wrap for thier hay

it only sticks to itself (like super heavy duty cling wrap).

2008-10-12 Thread Bavo
Hi Ron,
Great pics, and a very nice looking fuselage. Thanks for putting them on the
web for us all.
I've got very few ideas about most things, and NO idea about carbon. So
here's a few quick qns to start:
Where do you get it?
What does it cost?
Does it use the same resin as glass fibre?
Does it require vacuum bagging or baking or anything else?
How does the weight compare (your carbon & foam vs ply as per plans)?
 Thanks,
John.

KR> Spitfire/Bunyip

2008-10-12 Thread Bavo
Steve,
You've never heard of a Bunyip?
It's an Australian monster. It exists in Aboriginal stories and art, as well
as in modern reports. Descriptions vary widely- the Aborigines describe it
as having tusks, flippers, and a tail like a horse. The Aboriginal Bunyip
lived in or near water such as creeks, pools & billabongs.

The Bunyip is supposed to emerge at night to prey on animals, and women and
children. It gives a loud bellowing cry if approached. When the Aborigines
hear the cry, they stay away from the water.

More recent accounts vary widely in their descriptions, ranging from hairy,
scaled, feathered, fur, long tail, long neck, horse head, bird head etc...

Is it real? Camp by a billabong on a hot summer's evening, listen to the
noises in the bush and you be the judge.

Folks,
A quick check of the archives shows that this issue has been discussed
briefly before, but I wasn't a member then, so please excuse my question...
I'm just in the process of laying out the full size plans on the workbench,
and am wondering about the perspective that the plans were drawn from. ie.
They look at the measurements of the finished boat, not the flat fuse sides.
 Has anyone got a plan of the actual flat fuse side available (with the top
longeron bent upward slightly), or do I need to draw it up myself?

2008-10-12 Thread Bavo
Getting hold of quality Spruce at this end of the world is tricky and
expensive. The Australian Standard Specification for Aircraft Material
(1944) "Australian Timbers for use as substitutes for Sitka Spruce" 
tells us about other usable
timbers. It certainly does not say "lesser quality than spruce", so
you may have some confidence in them.
? Hoop Pine
? Queensland Maple
? Bollywood
? Silver Quandong
? Silver Silkwood
? Bunya Pine
Also known to have been widely used in the past are Oregon or Douglas
Fir, and Klinki Pine from PNG

I'm planning on using Hoop Pine from Queensland, but I'm not sure how
useful that is to you. (Maybe as good as Spruce is for me?)

Hi all,
I've got my KR construction site up and running at:
http://au.geocities.com/johnbavington

Have a look and let me know if I can improve anything, or if you find
any broken links. If anyone would like a link to thier page added,
please feel free to let me know.

Mark (or who ever is the Web Master), could you please add a link on
the "KR2S Construction" web site. Thanks.

Happy building,
John.

KR> Vapor Lock

2008-10-12 Thread Bavo
Yes,
My understanding is that the facet pump is a diaphram type positive
displacement pump, which will pump air (or fuel vapor) as well as
liquid, which a centrifugal pump will not do(as it relies on the
'weight' of the liquid to move it). So vapor in the line will not stop
the a facet pump working.
