KR> Getting off of the list

[Kirk Lacewell]

Does anyone know how to get my address off of the KR list?

I have sent two requests to be dropped from the list over the past month 
with no response, and I still get mail from the list every day.

Thanks,

KR> Working on KR2S Flight manual

[Kirk Lacewell]

I'm working on my flught manual for my KR-2S with the Subaru engine and need 
some advice.

The sample manuals I have are both for KR2, not 2S. 

How should my airspeeds compare to the KR2? The same, higher lower?

The inspector wants green/yellow and red markings on the tach. Does anoyne have 
those numbers for the Subaru engine?

Thanks,
Kirk Lacewell

KR> KR-2s Has a gap

[Kirk Lacewell]

I'm in the final stage of preparing my KR-2S for inspection. This is a plane I 
purchased 95% complete, I didn't do mst of the build.

I am concerned about the gap between the canopy and the body forward of the 
canopy. I have a gap all the way across the plane, which is just under 1 inch 
at it's widest point.

Is this a common prolem?

Is it a problem at all?

Any recommendations as to how to address it?

A picture is available if it will help, but it wouldn't go to the list.

Thanks,

I hope you got the plans ( blue notebook) with your project.  The 
measurements are in there and I'll bet you find them before someone 
posts them to the net.  If not, we'll get them for you but you ought 
to have a set of plans anyway.

KR> Certification questions

[Kirk Lacewell]

I'm finishing up a KR-2s which I bought 90% completed and need some advice.

The DAR I plan to use has a checklist I need to fill out and it asks for 
"Designer recommended limits and this plane's measurements for:"

Aileron up travel/ down travel
Elevator up/down
Rudderr left/right travel.

I can't find the designer recommendations information in my plans book. Can 
someone point me to it?

Thanks,
Kirk Lacewell

[Kirk Lacewell]

KR> Looking for a student pilot

[Kirk Lacewell]

I'm helping a friend in Brazil who is a fellow pilot and free lance magazine 
writer with his next article. We are hoping that you can help us find a subject 
for his article.

My friend's name is Ruy Flemming. Ruy lives in Sao Paulo and formerly flew with 
the Brazillian Air Force's "Smoke Squadron", their version of the Thunderbirds. 
He is currently a corporate pilot flying an Augusta helocopter.

Ruy is planning to write an article on young student pilots around the world 
and how they view their futures in flying. He has interviewed a Brazillian and 
a German and is looking for a young, American student pilot to interview. He is 
specifically looking for someone 16 years old.

I wonder if you might know of someone like that who would like to be 
interviewed for a Brazillian flying magazine.

Thanks,

If any of you want a copy of my KR for your X-plane you can e-mail me 
privately and I will send you the files.

KR> Venturi on a KR2S

[Kirk Lacewell]

I've been struggling to find a way to drive my vacuum pump on my KR2S and just 
had the thought. Why not forget the pump and use a Venturi?

Anyone know of a good reason not to use a Venturi?

Anyone know of someone using one on a KR?

Thanks,

KR> Pulley assembly for Suburu engine

[Kirk Lacewell]

Willie,

I'm just getting into this project and haven't thought about weight yet. The 
airplane is basically finished, so I have what I have and will try to make 
the best of it.

  Hi Kirk

  Don't you think the Subaru will be too heavy when you are finished? I also
have a 80hp model but refitted my Limbach (VW) due to the weight. What is
your Hp?

  Regards

  Willie

KR> Pulley assembly for Suburu engine

[Kirk Lacewell]

I'm trying to cpmplete a KR-2S started by someone else and have run into a 
stumbling block.

The Suburu engine runs the generator through a belt drive. There is a second, 
smaller pulley mounted flush with the generator drive pulley which drives the 
vacuum pump.

This system seems to work, except that the guy who started the plane ground the 
center of the pulleys down so far that they wobble terribly.

I need to replace the two pulleys and can not find anything to replace them 
with.

My first question is: Does anyone know where I can get pulleys like this? They 
both should have 15mm inner diameter. One is 60mm OD and the other is 100mm OD.

Second question: Does anyone have a suggestion for a better system to drive my 
generator and vacuum pump?

I have a quote from a local machine shop to custom fabricate a dual pulley 
assembly for me for $400, but I'm hoping to avoid that option.

Thanks,
Kirk Lacewell
