KR> Paint Balls

[Rick and Pam]

 Ive seen this Idea before however the paintballs will probably not be fast 
enough to not come back and hit the kr2 ,also in some states air operated 
guns are classed as firearms 

KR> KR WORKSHOP #1? - Gear install - stub wing

[Rick and Pam]

could it be possible to document these workshops with a video? I would love 
to come to the gear workshop but I still have to earn a living. you could 
probably make quite a bit of money just by setting up a camera and editing a 
little.  Just think what a construction video would be worth to someone 
just starting

could you do the faa inspections that are required

KR> selling out

[Rick and Pam]

It looks like I may be transferring to SC before to long, which may lead to the 
sale of my "Project" here in ohio. If anyone is interested ,this is where I 
stand at the moment. Plane runs and can be taxied, carb was just fitted last 
night however I havent dialed it in as yet, has not been inspected but really 
isnt far from it.I will try to get some pics for anyone interested but I have a 
night flight Ihave to go do so it will be a few days. It has a 1835 hapi with a 
aerocarb, also has auto plug conversion ,plane is built and painted ( however I 
was going to repaint ) It is a taildragger. I dont believe to much time is left 
until it flys I just wont have the time or facilitys once I move. Im asking 
$5500 for it . this is a kr2 not an s , it does have instruments installed, 
however Im not sure as to the calibration of them. Im in north western ohio and 
the plane is in a hanger currently at dfi awaiting wing bolts from wicks 
(backordered) If anyone is interested contact me offline.this would be an 
excellent 2nd plane for you guys that already have one and want to fiddle with 
a 2nd.

KR> vacuum

[Rick and Pam]

thanks thats what i was looking for. all the "over the top" posts got me 
thinking about if the price of these attitude indicators aren't so far out 
of line why doesn't anybody have them, instead of trying to fly south to get 
thru the clouds

this wood prop

KR> discouraging

[Rick and Pam]

Heres my story to date. I bought a KR2  last month from grand rapids Mi 
(Im in Defiance Ohio). basicly it needed a seat and all the small things 
that these planes need. so Ive been working on it for a month now and I 
figured I would take it to the local airport and rent a small hanger so 
I could mount the wings and do some taxi testing, well as luck would 
have it 2 hangars down is THE local eaa guy,(white beard,eaa tech rep, 
ap mech, 2 taildraggers sitting in his hangar) basicly the whole 
package, so Im thinking man what a great resource 2 hangars down from 
me. I go down and introduce myself and tell him my story and he proceeds 
to tell me in short that unless I have 5 to 10 thousand hours of 
taildragger time that I shouldn't attempt to fly the kr2. He then went 
on and on about why I should buy a cessna 150 cause as a certified 
aircraft. I would be able to just "fly it" (that would be the only thing 
I could do to it) To top it all off he then lets me know that the last 
thing we need is someone crashing on the runway.wouldn't do our 
Image any good he says, Now Im no idiot and I know that Im not Tom 
Cruise in top gun, as a matter of fact Im not even a pilot as of yet 
{although Im working on it}  I know when Im talking to someone with a 
lot more experiance than me to listen but I got to believe that this guy 
really doesn't like home built aircraft ,which is what I thought the eaa 
was all about.He practicly had me talked intoselling it before I left.On 
the way home I realized that this was the type of guy that made me look 
at experimentals to start with...I understand I need some taildragger 
time , I understand it will require maintenance, I understand that 
things go wrong, I accept these as challenges to be overcome. WHAT I 
   DONT EXCEPT IS PEOPLE TELLING ME I CANT DO IT. anyways I just had to  vent

KR> discouraging

[Rick and Pam]

 wow what a response I think this beat out the over the top post, anyway 
everybody thanks for all the posts, I really appr. the support. Ken Jones is 
hopeing to fly out sunday to give me an "educated" assesment. Im looking 
forward to compareing my kr to an actual flying one.

KR> How to install Grove Gear

[Rick and Pam]

 Ok I have a different problem. . I am trying to go from taildrager to tri, 
I think I have the grove gear. now I talked to Dan Deihl today and he was 
saying that If I turned the gear around and placed them on the back side of 
the front spar the center of the main gear must be less than 4.5 inches 
behind the rear of the spar, also he said that the belly of the kr2 should 
be about 16.5  inches at the spar. He said that his nose gear would be to 
short for anything higher, of course my measurements are 5.5 to 6 inches 
behind the spar and 18.5 inches from the floor . did anyone have these 
problems? I need to talk to Dan and see if I mount the mains on the front of 
the spar but turn them around if they will be to far forward . has anyone 
shortend their gear and do I need to?

had $500 and needed a carb , which one would you buy?

KR> carbs again

[Rick and Pam]

come on guys I need some input. Im leaning twards the aero but Im not sold 
on it. I know everyones got their opinion on this one but I need a quick 
answer. I have a posa thats leaking like a sieve out the side and Im not 
real interested in fixing it giving to the fact that it doesn't have a rich/ 
lean adjuster.I have an 1835 hapi and am thinking in the future of a 
possible turbo but thats years away. Help
