I tried the fiber glass tank and could not keep it fro leaking so I used the fiber glass as a mold to make an aluminum tank 17 gal. and it works fine. It has a odd shape so a radio can fit and other things.

KR> DAR vs FAA

He did send a new information package to me and included 3 names of AB-DAR's. He also wrote a lenghty letter that outlined what they would be looking for. Most things I knew and had taken care of but there was a couple surprises too. I will scan the letter and see if someone can post it in the next couple days. My choices are to pay a fellow $475 or pay milage from Maryland. The guy at the FAA inspection office also requested that all paper work be sent to him for review and if all was correct they would forward it to the inspector of my choice. At my current rate of progress I should be ready for inspection in 3 weeks,. Wish me luck Joe Horton ;-) On Mon, 2 May 2005 07:50:50 -0500 "Joe" writes: > I used the FAA for my KR-2S.

Thanks for the tip I'll try to find a way to get proper lubrication without flooding. - Original Message - From: "Barry Kruyssen" To: "KRnet" Sent: Sunday, April 17, 2005 7:38 PM Subject: Re: KR> Starting the VW Hi Bill, Your method scares me. "Pump the throttle TWO times leaving it in almost full throttle" Starting at full throttle will shorten the life of you engine. When starting there is minimal oil on the bearing surfaces and no oil pressure. Starting at full throttle will give high RPM and high load on a cold, unlubricated engine. If my plane has been sitting for some time I crank it over with ignition off till I get oil pressure before I operate the choke and try to start it. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm - Original Message - From: Bill Starrs Few years ago some one wrote a sure fire procedure in starting the VW.

Pump the throttle TWO times leaving it in almost full >>throttle ...just a small crack I'm really interested in this, since I own an 1835 VW with an "underslung" Zenith carb on my "KR Construction Trainer". I think it's important for Bill Starrs to tell us what carb he's using, since the majority of the carbs on VW setups don't have an accelerator pump and stroking the throttle does nothing to introduce fuel into the intake tract or carb. It only exercises the butterfly in the throat of the carb. Now on a carb with a needle and slide, it may let liquid fuel come up into the throat of the carb. I don't know what pumping or stroking the throttle does to a POSA, a Revflow, or an Ellison on an engine that's not running yet. The starting drill I was told to use on my engine was to crack the throttle with ignition off (single Slick mag) and pull the prop through a few blades until fuel drips out the intake, then energize the mag and start the engine. Understand that the Zenith has a choke for cold starting, too, and it's used in lieu of a primer to enrich the mixture when the engine is cold. This is why I say it's important for Bill to let us know what kind of carb he's running and where it is in the intake tract. Thanks, Bill!

Very bad habbit to get into, no engine starts better with the throttle full open instead of just cracked, unless it's flooded first.

KR> New wing
very interesting . Do you have a diagram ? - Original Message - From: "JAMES FERRIS" To: Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2005 11:04 AM Subject: Re: KR> New wing The GAW-1 airfoil is a modified Supercritical airfoil and started out as the 17% supercritical airfoil that we tested on the Navy trainer T2C and was the first supercritical airfoil to be demonstrated in flight, it has a flat pressure distribution on the upper surface that allowed laminar flow back about 55 % chord at subsonic speeds and was used on the varieasy wing. A varieasy was investigated in the NASA full scale wind tunnel to confirm this. This airfoil was used on a supercritical prop designed by Jim Raisback in the mid - seventies, He said it worked well but I never seen any data on it, it would be something to consider for the outboard 20 % of the prop that may reach supersonic speeds on the convair if you get over 3000 RPM. Supercritical does not mean the same thing as very critical as some people have indicated. It was named Supercritical because it has supersonic flow on the upper surface without shock induced separation, this can give a 15 to 20 % increase in speed without wave- drag. Sincerely James C.

Happing flying , Bill Starrs - Original Message - From: "Mark Jones" To: "Corvaircraft" ; "KR Net" Sent: Friday, November 05, 2004 10:54 PM Subject: KR> Update As most of you know, my plane is at the airport and I have been taxi testing with no wings. Last weekend I installed my right wing which houses a 12 gallon aluminum fuel tank, nav lights, strobe lights and a landing light. All of these components were connected and worked perfectly. I even filled the wing tank with fuel and have no leaks. Tomorrow, I plan on doing some more taxi runs less the left wing. Now that should turn some heads. Everyone at the airport is well aware of the new Corvair powered KR on the field and are anxiously awaiting that first flight. My left wing will be completed this weekend and I will take it to the airport and mate it to the plane. After that is done, I will get the FSDO out for an inspection an hopefully get that first flight in by the end of November.
