KR> horizontal stabilizer length:
Hi Paul I will follow you with interest. I met you at the KR gathering last fall. When the wx gets warmer I am going to restart my construction after a 10 year hiatus. I cut my spars to the length in the plans and plan on the balancing horns. One of the things I noticed is that the stab/elevator rib templates go all the way back to trailing edge but if you look at the plans, they want a thicker piece of plywood on the elevator and offset to give rudder left/right clearance...have you seen this? I can see using the templates to install the hinges and keeping all three spars aligned then cutting off the back of the template & doing the offset rib for the elevator. Is this what you are planning on doing? r/Bernie Lusby, MD KR2S Builder - Original Message - From: To: "KRnet" Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2014 1:48 PM Subject: KR> horizontal stabilizer length: > I'm cutting my horizontal stabilizers spars today.

KR> Builders logs
Correction to below..KitLog Pro is not free..it might have been when I first signed up years ago, but I just checked the web site and after 15 days, it will cost $49.95. It is free after that since I have not paid for any annual storage/maintenance/renewal fees. The one time I needed Tech Support they were good in helping me out. r/Bernie Lusby Md > Does anyone have some advise on kitlog Pro or some other program to > document my progress.

Does anyone have some advise on kitlog Pro or some other program to document my progress. I have seen other builder sites and I'm not at a level to do something like my own. I have used KitLogPro since it was created over 10 years ago and find it an easy program to use and it is free. They have made several improvements from the early versions. I have not been that active a builder over the past few years but intend to pick up the pace soon. I would recommend it.

KR> First Flight N6242

I was the ground/safety crew & observer + picture taker. After reviewing the video it did not appear to be as bad as Sid described. If he had not said anything, to the casual observer it would have maybe looked like a non-event first flight that was shortened due to mechanical problems. But I am sure the cockpit view was a totally different perspective. He has joined that elite crowd of Orville and Alan and Neil as a fellow test pilot who took to the air and returned their aircraft safely :) Sid has been one of the most persistent builders I have known and all of his years of engineering and construction work paid off - I hope to join him some day in that elite group of first time test pilots. I also salute all those KR pilots who have gone before him! r/Bernie Lusby, MD KR2S Builder

On the way home from Corvair College I >>busted the special use airspace around Washington DC. I also busted the ADIZ (they have another term for it now) around DC last summer by a 1/2 mile while sightseeing around the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. When I got back to the airport, the airport manager had been called by Tracon and told me to call Tracon. While on the phone with Tracon, the TSA had called the airport manager and left all kind of threatening messages about sending the police after me. While I was talking to Tracon, TSA called them and Tracon relayed to them that I had busted it by less than a 1/2 mile and I must have realized what I had done since I had made a 180 deg turn...so Tracon thought that should be the end of it and to this day I have not heard another word. But a word to the wise, these TSA guys are on steroids ( I have a stronger term but won't use it) about the air security around DC and one should give it a wide berth. The Tracon guy told me that the "truth data" is radar, not your GPS, and not cut it so close. So in actuality, you may be outside the ADIZ, but if they say you are in there, stand by for a lot of attention :) r/Bernie KR2S Builder/air space criminal Lusby, MD
