I think the top bolts would go into the fuel tank and foam.


KR> Landing speeds

2015-02-17 Thread Joe Nunley
Dear Colin,

If the weather is good, I fly about 3 to 4 times a week.  I fly with my
"other"plane out of the 1200 foot strip.  I have been testing different
landing techniques in preparation for the completion of my KR2.  I have
found that the technique that you describe, "push the stick forward to pin
the aircraft on the ground, ride the bumps, I can see clearly and you
balance the aircraft on brakes and rudder and slowly have to push more
forward as the speed bleeds off",  is the technique that I believe to be
the most viable option. One reason it appears viable is that  I spend less
time floating and more time slowing down.  A given touchdown speed gives a
fairly consistent landing distance taking wind and weight as variables. I
can duplicate landings consistently and so far safely.  I have found that,
for me, I use 70 MPH instead of your 80 MPH, 70 MPH is still
a controllable speed and I only have 1200 feet.  Everything else seems
about the same.  Thank you for sharing.

I greatly appreciate everyone's input and value their opinion.  This is a
fantastic group.

thanks,

Joe

KR> Belly Board

2014-12-25 Thread Joe Nunley
RE: Multi-holes drilled air brake : any good ?

I just spoke to my flying buddy, Carl "Flaps" Laffert, 84, who flew both
the SBD Dauntless during WW II with the Marine Corps from Mindanao. He also
flew the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver. He told me the perforations create more
drag. They were first used in the US on the Northrop (a Douglas division at
the time) A-17, built for the Army. It had 3-section flaps, one under each
wing and one in the center. These were on the bottom only, not split as on
the Dauntless. The Army didn't like dive bombers so Douglas built the
Dauntless for the Navy with the split dive flaps/brakes.

He said the first version on the Helldiver had "smooth" flaps (as he called
them) and the dive speed was 315 knots. On a later version they perforated
then like on the Dauntless and at the same dive angle, the dive speed was
285 kts.

Story by Ed Moorman, Shalimar Fl, 553, Former R/C Report Fun Aerobatics
Columnist. 76 and up to my old tricks!

Also found this;
Abstract

Measurements are described of the drag coefficient of porous circular
cylinders (60% open-area ratio) fixed between solid hemispherical end caps,
for five values of aspect ratio between 7.92 and 2.67. The Reynolds number
varies between 104 and 2.6 ? 105. It is found that the drag coefficient
increases with aspect ratio much as a solid cylinder's but its drag
coefficient is about 20% higher (varying between 0.88 to 0.96 as the aspect
ratio is increased).

Flow-visualization experiments have also been conducted, and show how fluid
passes through the cylinders and how the vortex shedding is weaker than for
solid cylinders.

Although based on a cylinder and not flat plate.

KR> Grass Runway

2014-10-28 Thread Joe Nunley
Of those who fly their KR2 off of a grass runway;  what distance to take
off and land, tail wheel or tri gear, engine type and horse power if you
please.

My hanger is on a grass strip.  Want to be able to take off and land at my
home field.

Thank you!

I was at SERFI. Where were the KR2's?  I was hoping to find someone to talk
to about them.
