KR> RUDDER SIZE
Mark; I am keen on discussing the purchase of a KR2S taildragger. I am looking at the market offerings but maybe you can share if you have an suggestions. Have a good weekend.

I say that, but the plans don't actually have a dimension on that, you have to scale it (1/4) to get 40.5" tall at the trailing edge. My rudder is a total of 44" tall at the trailing edge. The plane slips at a crazy sharp angle and drops like an elevator while doing it, so I like my taller rudder. It was added after initial construction by "scabbing" onto the existing rudder with fiberglass, and then overhanging the vertical stabilizer, which effectively gives me even more rudder. You can see it clearly in the photo at the top of http://www.n56ml.com/. You can see from the photo that the rudder is quite proud to be part of the action...

KR> parachutes
Mark; I agree completely with your assessment. I have had three events with my KR2 in the past and never was it the fault of the airframe. Always an engine event. Jumping out was that last thing I would consider, as the plane is a dream to fly! It goes exactly where and how you ask it. So landing even in difficult conditions or terrain is doable. I have a question however, I have stalled the KR2 but I did not spin it. Does anyone have experience with spinning a KR2. Seems the close coupling would make that an interesting aviation experiment. The tail is a bit small so would it stop the rotation? If you have any thought please share.

There may be others, but no spar or fuselage failure that I know of. So given that record and the many thousands of KR hours logged, what are the chances that you're going to have to go down somewhere so inhospitable that you can do some semblance of a landing somewhere? Even if it's in the tree tops, you'll likely survive it. So assuming you are still in control of a plane that's capable of gliding, I'd just stall it in the tree tops somewhere. John Schaffer did that in a flat spin from 8000', and survived. And how much time do you spend over that kind of terrain in Missouri anyway? Your chances are looking better already! Jeff Scott probably doesn't like what he sees out the window 75% of the time, but he doesn't wear a parachute. Jumping out of a spinning or otherwise disabled plane is not without its risks as well...perhaps higher than sticking with the plane to put it on the ground somewhere. You could get whacked in the head by the horizontal stabilizer, or your parachute might be a streamer, etc. And what if your plane crashes into a house and kills a family eating lunch? That'd be bad. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you are so concerned about a structural or control failure, you should probably start thinking twin engines and lot of other redundancy. Statistics are on your side though...if your plane goes down, it'll likely be a fuel problem or a broken crankshaft, and then you simply land in a field or on a road. At least that way you still have a plane that you can rebuild or scavenge for parts, or just maybe, it won't have a scratch on it! No need to carry 20 pounds around for years expecting it to pay off someday, when it likely won't. I have about 1400 hours of KR time, and I've had plenty of engine problems, and zero structural problems. With the plane 20 pounds lighter, and the comfort of not being packed into my seat with a parachute, I've had some pretty smooth and enjoyable flying so far. And yes, I do know that the second engine is just there to get you to the scene of the crash... -- Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
