Hi Steve,

In a nut shell, what are the differences between the 3 airfoils performance?

Thanks for your time,

Sure looks mighty narrow.
It makes that 2 cylinder V look huge.

KR> Welder/Aluminum

[John Caudle]

Hey Guys,

Before you trash your MIG for a new TIG unit you might try using it to weld 
aluminum.
You must use 100% argon as the shielding gas.  Keep your torch as straight as 
possible and let 'er' rip...

Just an idea...

Hi Marlyn,

I think you have that backwards.  A/C is used for aluminum.

I researched this welder and discovered that it is AC only (DC sine wave
is required for welding Aluminum)that is why they say "(not suitable for
aluminum)"

Hi Steve,

I had a HF MIG and thought it worked great.  I upgraded to a Hobart
and then realized the HF MIG was not as good as I had thought.
You get what you pay for.  Sometimes that's good enough.  HF is
pretty good about taking things back that don't work as advertised.

 Has anyone tried the Harbor Freight Tig/MMA Inverter Welder part #98233 and if 
so, have any comments.

Hi Jose,

 Maybe you should work on an ejection seat/system first.
The USAF killed a few pilots before they got the FBW working
on the F-16.  Good luck with the project!  I hope you get it
working with out it killing you in the process!

Hi Every one 

 A friend of mine was traveling south on  I-65 last night around Huntsville 
Al., He told me your not going to belive this, but there is a KR sitting along 
the side of the interstate.

Hi Rob,

Was the problem an exhaust valve or seat?

Hi Group,

Aircraft Spruce sells a fine little tool for laying out instruments.
I found it to be very helpful.  If something can be screwed up
I'm going to do it at least once...8-O

[John Caudle]

Hi Dan,

The aircraft you mentioned, with out modification,
have always fit the "LSA" rule.  The Cessna 150 fits
the LSA rule save the gross weight.  Because of that
it will never be an LSA ruled aircraft.  Even if you put it
on a diet.  You can only be a virgin once...

It that were true, then how is it that Cubs, Champs, and some Ercoups, and
probably others, are now being flown under LSA?

Hi Steve,

Once again I apologize to you and the list.  I can make no excuse for my actions
other than I picked the wrong place to vent.  I am truly sorry!

Over the years I have seen this kind of letter from many experimental  
aircraft companies before.  Few are still with us.  Good luck with  your 
advancement of the KR.

Hi David,

Thank you for your reply!  I have no model building experience. My Corby is a 
little better than 50% complete and has been a challenge all the way.  The 
prints are good while the instruction manual is less than helpful!
 
After seeing a copy of the KR-2 plans I think I'll be alright.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have been to Mr. Landford's

Go to KR net and look at some of the buiding accounts, especially Langfords, 
you 
need to do this even if you had the best set of plans in the world.

As I'm building a KR-1 (kinda) I may be able to help out here.
I don't have the whole inventory listing of what you have, but I can tell
you what came with mine...

[John Caudle]

Hi Virgil,

While reading the archives it sounded like there  

has been issues with the KR-1 plans long before Steve took over.


You are correct!  I should have contacted Steve first and for that I
apologize to him and the group!  My post was not meant  as 
a flame!  
 
The biggest problem is I don't know if I have a problem. (Plans related that 
is.)

My question to the group is, do I have what I need to build the aircraft?

With the greatest respect,

KR> KR-1 Plans

[John Caudle]

Men of KR Flight:

I just received my KR-1 plans and am not overly pleased.

1)   Shipping and Handling cost $25.00 for a package the USPS shipped for $6.00
2)   No packing list.
3)   Several prints labeled KR-2...
4)   6 pages missing from the instruction manual.  

At this point I don't know if I have everything I need to build the aircraft or 
not.
I have a sinking feeling I wasted $139.00.  I thought my Corby plans left 
something
to be desired.  After paging through the KR-1 plans I will never say a bad word
about the Corby prints again!

I ran across a post in the archive that advised purchasing the KR-2 plans to 
supplement
the KR-1 plans.  It sure seems a shame to have to spend an additional $204.95 
plus $25.00 for shipping to get what you need to build the craft...  Is any one 
else having this issue?

Respectfully,

HillBilly John
