KR>Sale of my KR2
Hi all, I regret to say that I had to sell my KR2. Sometimes other obligations have to come first. I am in the process of finishing building my house and unfortunately I had to sell it for that. I plan to buy another one in the not too distant future though. I enjoy reading and occasionally adding a suggestion or two. Thanks for all the help everyone has given me here on the net.

KR>Passion, I think we all can relate to this.
Richard, You are not alone, Coming up with $20,000 would be almost impossible for me too. Passion is the only reason a lot of airplanes ever get completed. You are a big step ahead of lots of us by just holding a pilots license. I have managed to get my hands on a nearly completed KR2,I may be lucky in one respect. If I don't have to sell it my hangar rent is only 40.00 a month when I do get it to the airport.

KR>KR2 for sale
Hi, I hate to do it but I'm putting my KR2 up for sale. I'm in the middle of building a new house and I could use the money. It has a Continental 0200A that is fully certified. I have all logs for it since new. The aircraft has VFR instruments and standard engine guages. I have a set of Dheil fiberglass main gear legs I will let go with it. It needs some cosmetic work here and there. There are some pictures at: http://mywebpage.netscape.com/rlwno7/index.htmlIt looks better now than in the pictures. The instrument panel has been refinished and I've put an almost new wood prop on it since then. I will sell it for the value of the firewall forward. $7000.00.

KR>Ballast weight with heavier engines
Hi all, I am just curious as to whether any of you guys flying the standard KR2 with 0200's have had to add any weight to the tail to get your cg to work out? The man I bought mine from added 17 lbs to the tail.I'm just wondering if I can rearrange some things and get rid of that. My battery is mounted just aft of the seatback. It would be a long run for the cables but I think if I move the battery to the tail I might can lose the ballast weight.

Sidney, My KR2 is set up with a center stick and push-pull tube going to the aft side of the rear spar and cables from there to the elevator.

KR>Control tubes
Sid, I'll do my best to explain how mine is set up. I'll get some pictures in a few days and you will see it's really quite simple. First, the stick is mounted through a cutout slot in the top and bottom of a piece of 2-1/8" aluminum round tubing-1/8" wall thickness. The slot has flat aluminum pieces welded in the sides of the slot on the bottom side, with flat pieces welded on the top side of the tube with tabs that stick up about 1/2" above the top surface of the tube. These tabs are drilled for a pin with brass bushings. The stick is pinned through these tabs so it can pivot fore and aft. The stick extends through the slot in the bottom of the tube and slides against the flat plates on the sides. When the stick is rotated side to side, it rotates the large tube side to side also. The stick is mounted approximately 1" back from the front end of the tube. There is a smaller piece of tubing welded to a flat plate and bolted through the front spar.The larger tube is slid over the end of the smaller one and rotates around it. The push-pull tube for the elevator is pinned to a fork at the control stick and fits inside the large tube. At the aft end of the large aluminum tube There is an aluminum plate with a hole in the center large enough to allow the push -pull tube to slide through it. The push-pull tube goes to a bellcrank mounted just behind the rear spar, where the elevator cables are attached. The flat plate that is welded to the rear of the large tube has control tabs that are at the top and bottom. The aileron push-pull tubes are attached to the tabs with rod ends and go to the aileron bellcranks in the stub wings.There is a collar welded around the large aluminum tube in front of the rear spar, Before the aluminum plate was welded on, There was a piece of tubing welded to another flat plate and holes drilled in the flat plate to bolt through the rear spar from the back side,This was slid over the larger tube before the last plate was welded on to the rear of the tube. You simply bolt the first flat plate on the aft side of the front spar, Then slide the big tube through the rear spar and slip it over the tube at the front spar. The flat plate at the aft side of the rear spar is then bolted to the rear spar and the aluminum tube is captured between them. It rotates side to side and the stick pivots fore and aft. I hope you understand all this.I know it sounds complicated but when you see the picture you can see how simple it really is.

KR>Training Quandry, can KR's have dual pedals and sticks?
Thomas, Most KR2's are equipped with dual rudder pedals. I've very seldom heard of one that doesn't. As for dual sticks, If the one you buy doesn't have dual sticks, you can buy the dual stick controls from Rand-Robinson and several other suppliers. You can have it put in or put it in yourself without too much difficulty. But again, I've seen very few KR2's that don't have dual rudder pedals, even with a center stick.

KR>Why trailer a KR?
Thomas, One reason that comes to mind is simply to get the plane and your car or truck back home at the same time. Another reason is so that the pilot can familiarize himself with the airplane by flying short trips around the area he knows at his home base. If there happens to be a bug or two that needs taking care of, it would be easier to do at home.

KR>Vortex Generators
Mark, Actually I should have said that vortex generators are effective on swept wings, such as the vari-eze and longeze, velocity,etc. The airflow seperates from the top of the wing more on swept wings than on straight ones. Vortex generators are like small gates or dams that make the airflow stick closer to the surface for a longer portion of the wing surface. It makes the wing fly better at slower airspeeds. This is about the best I can do in general terms. You can read more about the subject on some of the canard aircraft sites. Rick Wilson. ps. That was my point, they don't help that much with bugs or rain. --- Mark Youkey <myou...@cox.net> wrote: > Rick, > > Perhaps you can explain the vortex generator to me. > We have them on the > E-3, which is a modified Boeing 707.

KR>Fuel pumps
Hi, I just thought someone might benefit from this- The fuel pump used on 1000cc and 1100cc Yamaha Virago motorcycles might be just what you need on a system with float bowl carbs. They are one piece, self contained with a pressure sensing diaphragm built in. When the pressure required by the carb is reached the diaphragm opens a set of points in the end of the pump and disconnects the 12 volt power from it until the pressure drops again and then closes the points so the pump runs again. The fuel pressure needed by a particular carb would be automatically controlled. The pump would put out until the needle closes against the seat and then stop until it unseats again. It would also stop a steady drain on the battery. It may be worth trying. All that's needed is a 12 volt connection and an in and out fuel line.

KR>West system epoxy
One paragraph on the website mentioned, says that west system epoxy in it's primary form is not an adhesive, You make it into glue by adding fillers. It would probably be excellent to use as glue when the right fillers are mixed properly. I believe I will stick with T-88 and not have to mix fillers every time I want to glue a joint. Everyone is entitled to use whatever they feel comfortable with. I guess in my mind I've just never thought about using epoxy systems for anything other than laying up fiberglass.

Hello, Does anyone know Ken Thomas' email address or his phone number? I live about 30 miles from him and would like to contact him regarding a ride in his KR2S. I have heard he has given other people familiarization flights. I am almost ready to fly my KR2 and it would be a great help to know more about the controls first. Thanks in advance, Rick Wilson. = Rick Wilson, Haleyville, Alabama KR2-0200A -99% rwdw2...@yahoo.com __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

KR>Psru
Gavin, There is a man who advertises in the classified ads in Kitplanes magazines who sells plans to build PSRU's. I don't recall his name, but the name of his business is "Reductions". I believe he is located in Canada. I bought a set of plans from him and was well satisfied with them. He also sells complete PSRU's. Hope this helps, Rick Wilson. --- Gavin Donohoe <gavinandlou...@bigpond.com> wrote: > HI all I've been looking back through the archives > about PSRU's for Subaru engines, and in about 2001 > there was some posts about plans to construct one.

KR>Curing temperature for epoxy
Hi, Today I did some fiberglass work on my project, but before I was done the temperature dropped to around 45-50 degrees. Can anyone tell me if the epoxy will setup tomorrow when the temperature gets back up to around 70-75, or will it not cure at all? Hopefully it is not ruined.

There is an ad on Barnstormers for some VW parts for sale. I remember one of the parts being an accessory case. If you are not familiar with Barnstormers, I believe the address is www.barnstormers.com Once you get there you can do a search for ads that mention VW parts, accessory case, etc. and find the ad.

KR>Aircraft lumber
Greg, When you buy the wood kit from aircraft spruce or wicks all the lumber is already planed to the peoper dimensions, as well as inspected for the correct grade. This eliminates any guesswork and insures that you are using wood that you will be satisfied with in the end. I doubt whether you will be thinking of a few dollars you saved on lumber when you are cruising at 5,000 ft. (that is if you save any money,) the wood kit for the kr's is not that expensive. Just my thoughts, Rick Wilson. --- ggrabow...@lwtm.com wrote: > Greenville, SC > > -Original Message- > From: larry severson [mailto:lar...@socal.rr.com] > Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 5:01 PM > To: KR builders and pilots > Subject: Re: KR>Aircraft lumber > > > > > Greg S.
