Re: KR> In-flight Fire

[bjoenunley via KRnet]

I don't worry a lot about fire, never have.  I do wear a fire retardant long 
sleeve shirt most of the time in the winter to keep me warm, but it probably 
won't do much good if it got real hot.  A fire extinguisher and a parachute is 
probably the best option for in flight fire response but a parachute wouldn't 
fit in my cockpit.  I do know of one guy who used a parachute to save his life, 
not to fire though. He told me the story himself.
P.S. I got a gopro camera today.  All you with videos made me want one. 
Be safe.

When it comes to the pan I learned the hard way.  I was interrogated after the

My fishing weights melted just fine on the stove but I haven't been fishing

KR> Stick Interference

[bjoenunley]

After looking at pictures of other KR2 control sticks I have another idea. ?I 
could also shorten the control stick. ?I added a control grip head with 
switches for the radio and belly board actuator, etc. ?The control grip makes 
the stick much taller which is most likely the cause of my problem. ?(It's not 
often that I want to make things smaller.)
Joe Nunley?CW2 US Army RetiredBaker JROTC Instructor?Baker Florida?

KR> Stick Interference

[bjoenunley]

?I'd have someone 
measure the aileron travel to see how close to 
?full travel you have before your leg stops??the stick.
I get about 50 percent travel before I need to drastically reposition. ?
Does anyone else hit thier leg with left stick?
Joe Nunley?CW2 US Army RetiredBaker JROTC Instructor?Baker Florida?

KR> Stick Interference

[bjoenunley]

Yes, adjusting the cables would take care of the stick clearance on the left 
side of the cockpit. ?With dual control sticks I believe that adjusting the 
cables will just move the problem to the right seat. ?I've removed the left 
control stick and intend to bend it or weld and elbow to it to shift it to the 
right. I can bend it tonight and have it ready for tomorrow, weather permitting 
I can try again.

mentally prepared to lift of the ground and fly down the runway landing safely 
on the ground and then do it again. ?I lifted off the ground and landed again 
just fine but I feel that my left leg keeps me from getting full stick travel. ?

I don't have turn buckles to adjust so I would need to make new cables, a 
possibility.
I could take my left side stick out and bend it to the right. ?Most likely. ?
Did anyone else have the same problem??

still read "0". ?I tried it with a pulse generator and nothing, I tried reading 
from the P lead, ?I finally conected the tiny tach to my car just to make sure 
it was working and it was. ?I like the digital Tachs because they provide more

KR> Hand propping VW

[bjoenunley]

?Joe, somewhere on the net is a drawing of ?a tail tie down that you can 
release from the cockpit and take with you. You can pull the chocks, climb 
into the plane and then release the tail tie??down.
I have one of those mechanisms sitting on my work bench.? ? ? I haven't always 
been cautious. ?My engine starts with one pull at the lowest rpm. ?I became so 
confident that I stopped tying it down when visiting other airports. 
?Eventually I stopped tying it down altogether. ?One day the throttle was not 
all the way to idle. ?The engine roared, the plane started rolling forward, the 
tail came up. ?I couldn't get around the propeller to get to the throttle 
before the tail came off the ground. ?My favorite propeller hit the ground. 
?The tip of the propeller started flinging dirt and then splinters. ?I finally 
got to the throttle to shut it down. ?I miss that propeller, I have tried three 
propellers since then and none are as good.

KR> Hand propping VW

[bjoenunley]

?If you tie down the tail, why is it necessary to chock the wheels?

When i hand prop I chock the wheels and tie down the tail. ?When the ingine is 
running I untie the tail, the chocks hold the plane in place after the tail is 
untied. I pull the chocks and climb in. ?Probably just my redundant mentality.

?i agree with the use of a small oil pump ??forcing the brake fluid in from

I ended up using a 60 ml serenge and 10 inches of 1/8 inch ID clear tubing. ?I 
sucked the brake fluid out of the bottle. The tubing fit onto the serenge and 
to the brake bleed fitting. ?Opened the bleed screw and slowly fed the fluid 
into the system until the reservoir showed fluid, pumped the brake, then 
continued until the reservoir was full.
I found that my brake cylinders only work in one direction. ?In other words 
there is an upside and a wrong side. ?It is a good thing I found that out 
because if I flew inverted then my brakes wouldn't have worked!

caps. ?You can purchase them at Walmart or auto parts stores for about $10 or 
less. ?When your tire pressure is good then the cap is green if the pressure 
gets below 35 psi the tab turns red. I look at them every time I walk by. ?Even

KR> Who's working on stuff

[bjoenunley]

I am attempting to build a fiberglass spinner. ??It is harder than it appears 
or I'm not as talented as others. ?I first used the original aluminum spinner 
as a female mold. ?I waxed the inside, cut pieces of cloth, epoxied and then 
instead of vacuum bagging I filled a bag with water, placed it inside of the 
spinner to squeeze the layers of cloth together. ?When it was done, most worked 
perfectly with a smooth finish but I had a week spot and flaws. ?So I then used 
that part as a positive mold like Mark Langford I used duct tape as a mold 
release and cut the cloth to fit from a patern I made out of paper. ?The result

Subject: Re: KR> Removable Front Deck 


A removable front deck is a necessity, in my mind, and it's so easy to
do during initial construction, there's no reason not to do it (unless
the half a pound of flox and hinges is prohibitively heavy...and it
ain't!).?? I show one way to do it at http://www.n56ml.com/kmlfd.html
and I did the same for the aft deck at http://www.n56ml.com/kad.html. 
Risky?? Both have been tested for 1130 hours, and at 245mph top speed,
if that'll work for you.? Oh, and with a 245 pound Corvair engine
hanging off the firewall.

Imagine trying to access your brake cylinders.? First step is to climb
into the KR and lay down across the seat.? Impossible?? Yes, so you'll
have to lay across the seat with your butt up on the longeron and feet
dangling over the wing, while you finagle your shoulder through the 6"
slot formed between the panel and main spar.? But your shoulder is all
that fits...your body prevents you from reaching any further.? Now reach
way out with your hand, and you STILL can't reach the pedals or the
cylinders, much less get TWO arms in there to remove any bolts.? So
whatever you do, have to be one handed, which doesn't work, since you
can't reach anything anyway.

Next step, remove the instrument panel!? You did make all of your
electrical connections "connectorized", right?? No?? Then start
disconnecting the battery and all of your switches!? 

Oh, panel won't come out because of throttle, mixture, carb heat
connections?? Disconnect those from the engine and pull them loose so
the panel will come out.? 

You can quickly see that a removable front deck is simply a necessity,
not a convenience.? And after all that invasive surgery to your vital
controls and electrical connections, you may have compromised flight
safety in the process, just to access a brake cylinder. 

One of my POS brake cylinders leaks down after holding my foot on the
brake for more than about five seconds, and then I have no brakes on the
left side.? I'd love to fix it so my brakes don't go away while landing,
but I simply can't get there!? And bleeding brakes is not uncommon
(leaks so happen), so unless you have a remote reservoir on the
firewall, how do you refill them?

With a removable front deck (or at least a large access panel),
modifying or troubleshooting the instrument panel is a breeze.? If you
can't get these critical items, you're going to let things slide and
further compromise flight safety.? 

Just my 2 cents worth, based on experience with a KR2 that was built to
the plans...no removable deck, and a fuel tank between the panel and the
firewall (bad idea!).? I could go on, trust me, but I'm short on time,
since I really need to get out to the airport and tear my instrument
panel out to replace an IEFIS system that is simply not up to the job.

Hi All, 

I was just reading an old article by Stu Robinson in the March 1994 KR 
newsletter.? 

In it, Stu points out that the aileron gap serves to increase drag on the down 
wing, thereby reducing or eliminating adverse yaw.? 

However, I also read an article about how important gap seals are for 
increasing climb performance.

So?

Subject: KR> KR2/O-200 first run 

A red letter day in history occurred today. Rolled the KR2S outside, filled her 
up with non ethanol fuel, checked fuel flow, pump throttle one time, turned the 
key and the Continental O-200 came to life. Sweeet. Ran her for about 30 
minutes, I still haven't stop grinning. I took a video on my phone but it will 
not email to my laptop. Say's it's to large.

I am new to the list and still in the dream stage of building a KR2 since I 
just sold my Cherokee. I would like to propose KHQZ Mesquite Texas. If there is 
enough interest I will volunteer to see what it will take.
Just a suggestion to the group. Blue skies to all

Cris,
What is RR?
How comfortable is the sling with 2 people?
Where did you get the memory foam?

Joe,
I use the RR canvas sling seat and a 2 inch memory foam cushion that conforms 
to my butt as it warms up .
At 5 foot 10 , I have an inch or so to the canopy with this set up.

KR> Canopy/Seat

[bjoenunley]

I pulled out my beatifully apolstered seat with its plush thick comfortable 
cusion. ?I put a plywood board down as the seat and I have plenty of head and 
leg room. ?
I welcome you in joining me as I say goodbye to my beautiful cusion and hello 
to something more functional.
In my minimax I use one of those memory foam pillows to sit on.?
?What do you use?

Good evening,



I've been able to finish my seats, and I am very pleased with the
results.However (you know how it is when someone says "however") I sat in
the airplane (and, yes, I'll admit to making airplane noises too) and I
lowered the canopy-the result was needing to cock my head to the right in
order to close it completely.
