KR> Grounded - wheel pant
How do you attach something to the end of the axle, that can be used for the attach point for the wheel pant? - Dan I have Matco, I drilled the axle, as per the KR instructions, made a "C" clip to replace the split pin through the bearing nut, I then made a nylon bush to fit on the end of the axle, to the wheel pant, bolted the unit to the axel. I glued a small bracket to the pant to lock wire the drilled bolt head. Phil Matheson
KR> Encapsulating
I've heard you can mix rubbing alcohol with it and the alcohol will evaporate out after you have spread it. You might test that on something first. -- I have been using what your guys over there call rubbing alcohol ( Mentholated Spirits) for years with great effect, in sealing timber, filling pin holes, etc. Phil Matheson.

Well I can not believe how quiet the net is. I have been modifying my cowl to suit my engine air in takes, as my RG 2000 has a gear drive, the engine sits lower in the cowl and the cowl in lets are to high for a good direct flow, as well the inlets need to be low enough to have a ramp so the air can climb up hill to get to the barrels. This ramp allows a more direct and better cooling when the KR is in it's nose high climb configurations. So I cut out the old in lets last night and glassed over them, now I have to cut out new in lets and flare and glass them. As my engine has twin Stromberg Carbs with the oil dampened slides, the carb oil level has to checked before each flight or the carb will NOT get full throttle. I cut three inspection hatches in the top of the cowl, 2 for the carbs and 1 for the oil dip stick.

KR> Wing tie downs
Has anyone put tie downs in their wings ?. --- My tie downs are from the Dan Diehl web page of instruction on his wing skins. Eye bolts through the spar out near the wing top end, or epoxy a block frame to spar in same place and drill this for eye bolts. Remove eye bolts when not needed and keep in tie down kit in plane. see Dan's web page. at the bottom of page under KR2 wing skins. Then click on the wing skin instructions. see step 4. http://www.diehlaero.com/ Phil Matheson SAAA Ch. 20 VH-PKR Australia EMAIL: phillipmathe...@bigpond.com KR Web Page: www.philskr2.50megs.com http://www.vw-engines.com/
KR> Roll over Pertection
This is the requirement for a roll over bar, as per regs " The structure must be designed to protect the occupant in a complete turnover, assuming, in the absence of a more rational analysis:-" (1) An upwards ultimate inertia force of 3g's ; and (2) A coefficient of friction of 0.5 at the ground. SO, KR2 of 1000 lbs weight X 3 g's = 3000 lbs, times 0.5 = 1500lbs. force hitting you bar. Then remember that you plane is then sliding backwards over the ground?? so the force is then trying to push the bar onto YOU. ( that's why I have two cables back to the tail bulk head). So, IS can your glass roll over protection strong enough??? Always ask someone qualified, who knows.

KR> KR Construction Update
Well guys and girls, I have all but finished my KR. I have just spent two week holidays in my workshop and my KR is all but, finished. I have done all those little jobs, like upholstery,calibrating fuel senders ,installing flightsel for my mobile phone usage via headset,The engine will be refitted next week, as I return to work tomorrow, The cowl has a few minor glassing jobs around the exhaust outlets then I can paint the cowl and wing gap seals, THAT will be it. Then sort out the C of A and YeeeHaaa. I had added two photo's to my web page, less the engine. I'm still in two minds as to the colour of trims to add to the fuselage.

KR> Contemplation
The KR2(S) seems to offer a good combination of simplicity, economy and performance, and this might be a really good project to do with my 10 Y.O. son... -- Personally I think the idea of building with your son is fantastic. What a way of learning and spending quality time with him. BY the time it is finished he would be getting close to be able to fly it. My KR is just about finished with I had a son to share, On the other side my dad has been a great help to me, and assisted when I needed help. I took him flying in the 152 yesterday, and we landed at an ultralight flying in with a full size Kittyhawk up my rudder. A very good chose of aircraft to build.

KR> 6063 aluminum/ Brackets
what will current builders use to make the brackets that we always used this stuff for? I never found any 4 inch angle. So I just got T6 in small sheets here in Australia. and just bent and made my own brackets. as per plans measurements ( available from a number of places in Aust. down to 1 foot x 1 foot, ) Piece of cake. Just make sure you bent it around a correct radius. ( I found a 1 inch by 1 inch hollow section had the perfect radius) Look in the Tony Bingelis books for help!!

KR> Belt Drive PSRU
Up date My engine has been returned to VW Engines to have a problem fixed with the oil Cooler set up. (a damaged fitting in the block that needed some work.) Ron Slender has phoned to say that VW Engines will not be making anymore Helical Geared PSRU. ( Geared Drives) Instead, because of the cost of production and they are trying to stay competitive, They will be using a belt drives from now on. He offered me a great deal to change it over to belt drive while he has the engine. This is worth some thought, has it will save weight, less moving , and wearing parts, less noise, vibration and harmonics, as well as less service costs. Belts should last ??? 500 hours plus Comments for far have been positive. What do you guys in the know think?? So I need to make up my mind quickly. So I will be working to have the airframe finished when the engine returns in a few weeks. VW Engines have yet to update their web page to reflect this yet, as these things take time. Retail Cost of the Belt PSRU should be out soon if anyone is interested., But I would think they will only be available for the Type 4 rear drive.,but I will let you know soon.

KR> The Poor Man's Engine Pre-Heater
Sorry it's not Friday, But I have added a copy of an email below from a builder in Australia, who is now not going to build a KR because he says he can not contact R & R or they will not return is calls or faxes. Very disappointing!!!! Phil Matheson VH-PKR Australia KR Web Page www.philskr2.50megs.com http://www.vw-engines.com/ Hi Phil, Thanks for adding me to the local KR list you have here in Australia but I won't be proceeding with building a KR plane. I sent Mrs Rand my money about 5 weeks ago and I have tried nearly every day for one whole month to get a few simple questions answered by her about buying kit components - but all to no avail I'm afraid. Her refusal to communicate in any way, shape or form, made me realise the futility I would face if I ever needed to actually try and order some components from RR, so I sent her a fax last week asking for my money to be refunded (though I haven't had a response to that request either). If I can't get a refund I will offer the plans up for sale as soon as the arrive. All the best to you and the other local builders. Regards Chris O'D

I'm wondering if that canopy will fit a KR that has been widened? Thanks all, Mark Mark welcome. YES The canopies are very flexible, and you make it fit your own KR. as you know most ,if not all KR's are different. You make canopy rails to fit your fuse, and cut down the canopy to suit the rails,front deck and turtle deck.

KR> Intake Manifold - Oil cooler relocation.
Dan Before I mounted my cooler under and behind the engine, I was going to mount it flat against the firewall ( or about 1 inch or so off it)and use the fire wall as the outlet, allowing the air to run down the firewall and exit out the bottom.( with a light guard) OR I was going to mount if on it's edge, on the firewall running along side the cowl, with air inlets as I have on my cooler now, and have the outlet through the back edge of cowl on one side, and add exit slots like you see in the Vintage Car bonnet. I would seal outlet to cooler with foam, so the cooler would not be removed with cowl. I would have braced the cooler to the firewall and off the engine mount.
