KR> Gear alignment: was tail wheel/rudder interconnection
As always there are opinions to the contrary, as is mine. I had an EAA Biplane that was almost impossible to keep straight on hard surface. I asked an Aeronautical engineer about toe-in toe-out gear alignment. His response was parallel alignment, or slightly toe-out. With a toe-in gear, the weight is shifted more to the affected wheel and increases the dive, where as a toe-out wheel will decrease the weight on the tire. --back to my biplane: the gear had a toe-in alignment, and was my problem. We had the same problem with a TailWind this summer. Once the toe-in alignment was corrected to slightly toe-out, the directional control issue disappeared. "As always, your results and opinions may vary" ;-) L. D.

Never, ever should you have toe out. TOE OUT IS BAD. Let me explain (from what I know), a small amount of toe in is required as when the vehicle is moving forward, any movement (give, spring) in the suspension (and steering on cars) will result in the wheels pivoting backwards (every so slightly) and thus the wheels will end up parallel which is where we want them. Now with toe out you will find that the vehicle will veer (dive) left or right and when you correct it, it will over correct. In cars (where I have most of my limited experience in wheel aligning) toe out makes it hard to drive a car straight on very smooth flat road, the car keeps wanting to wander. Having a toe in of zero will most likely result in toe out when the vehicle is moving forwards. Too much toe in will scrub the tyres causing unnecessary wear.

Actually, I'm building Little Wing Autogyro. But Joe Weber has talked me into making it a fixed wing. The fuselage is essentially a 3/4 Cub so it won't be much of a change over.

I would use the AS series airfoil if you were, the only other airfoil I would even consider for the KR is a modified Riblett G37U215 airfoil. It has a bit more camber than the AS but the AS has a flatter camber line so is more stable under large changes in CG compared to the Riblett. Just my two cents worth.

KR> How to widen and KR2
Help! I just bought the KR2S that was on Barnstormers in Sparta MI. The cabin width is 32"? The plane is at the boat stage with both spars in place. Any ideas of widening this fuse so my wife and I can fly together--without a complete rebuild? We would need 38" to be comfortable. Or should I put it up for sale . . . ; - ) And thanks for all the hospitality @ KMVN. We enjoyed all of it--Nancy especially enjoyed the rides and flying that she got. Larry and Nancy Mueller L. D.
