KR> big boy 3100

[jsmon...@aol.com]

A couple quick questions for you... how would you pay for it??  

There is another guy from Brazil that is interested in it and he has not  got 
all his paperwork done and was looking at mid January, but he had it set up  
so I would crate it and deliver it to the Long Beach, CA dock and he would pay 
 for shipping and all I had to do is drop it off.  

I have local people interested in it as well... but I definitely recognize  
your name as a long time KRNet guy so I do feel a little more comfortable if I  
have to ship it out of the country,  but I also need it to be a little  
easier for me too!!! so if you can do the paperwork for customs or whatever...  
(don't want to call it an airplane engine .. just a car engine for the paper  
work)

Let me know.

Thanks,
John Monday

My spars are a little taller than stock KR2 Spars.  Still has enough wood to

the spar from the casting to strengthen it up (size of casting).  Will still 
use 
washers on the backside.as well.  Any problems with that?? other than a 
little added weight?

PS most of us probably shouldn't worry so much about our plane weight but 
could much easier loose 10 pounds... of course except for Mark L.!

That's about how my next one will be.  I've seen that in an old Newsletter, 
and Steve Trentman with the turbine built his that way.  It looked a lot 
better, at least, and with proper spacers like you mentioned, would reduce 
parts count and put the joints in double shear rather than single shear.

I'm finishing up my elevator with Dr. Dean REB hinges.  What did others do
to finish the holes where the hinges enter the leading edge of the elevator,
if anything?  Do I need to flox the sides or anything?  You can't see the

hole.  Thoughts?

One of my partners races cars with fiberglass bodies.   They put what they

protect 
areas as well.

Has anyone had any experience with this product?  seems like it would be a 
good addition to leading edges... will definitely handle 170+mph in the hot sun.

KR>First flight for low time pilot (long)

[jsmon...@aol.com]

Thanks for the input on your first flight!   A couple of questions?

You mentioned a 2" x 12" Aileron trim and then you mentioned you needed to 
enlarge it?  is 2" x 12" the final size you feel that works well?

Does the 2" x 12" trim (flap) extend past the trailing edge of the aileron, 
or was it cut of the aileron to make the flap?

Also if you have a link to a picture posted somewhere that would be awesome!  
Thanks for your input!

Also it seems to me that if you could have an offset bellcrank (or something 
like it) perhaps you could increase stick movement with less cable movement 
close to center, and increase the cable movement as the stick extends further 
away from the center, like variable power steering.  This would still allow you 
to get the full elevator movement, and reduce the close in sensitivity that 
everyone seems to have problems with when starting to fly.  Has anyone done 
this???

Art, while technically correct, the use of non TSO's equipment for IFR use 
is very restricted.  Now, I am not referring to airspeed, altimeter and so 
on.  This equipment is definitely non TSO'd proper.

Ref. FAR 91.205

Required. Ref. FAR 61.57 (c)

Required. Ref. FAR 61.3 (e)

The first three show IFR qualifications, required equipent and currency 
requirements.  AC 20-138 points towards your answer.

(FAA Advisory Circular 20-138)

I would also encourgage anyone interested to go to the following website:

http://home.hiwaay.net/~sbuc/tvrvbg/_borders/IFR%20equipment.pdf

Now the nuts and bolts.(FAA Advisory Circular 20-138)

The "box" used for primary navigation in the IFR environment must meet the 
requirements of TSO'd equipment.  While technically not being TSO'd does not 
exclude you from using the equipment.  However, it must meet the 
requirements of TSO certification.  This is not just satisfying the 
judgement of the pilot but the actual requirements of TSO certification.  
This would probably only come into play if ramp checked, violated or 
involved in some type of incident.  The simple VOR requirement check at a 
compass check painted on a ramp would not satisfy the TSO requirement for 
enroute navigation.  Only after the unit had been "self certified" could a 
required NAV check performed this way be appropiate for use in the system.  
As for using a NAV for ILS operations, you must certify a one dot deviation 
equates to the allowable deviation vertically at the outer marker, middle 
marker and inner marker. For some reason the distance of 10 feet floats 
around in my coffee induced thinking this early. While doable, I seriously 
doubt an individual flyer would be able to accomplish the requirements.  A 
GPS must automatically transition sinsitivity between enroute, terminal and 
approach.  In addition, it must possess the ability to self check it's 
signal reception and automatically identify the pilot of potential signal 
discrepancies.  Once again, this does not apply to instruments not 
specifically used with the appropriate "ground facilities".

So is TSO'd equipment required for IFR operation..No.  Is it 
practical to be able to self certify non TSO'd equipment?  That's your call, 
but I don't have the ability nor do I know anyone with the ability to 
perform all the checks required to satisfy the requirements.


>>If the box was capable of meeting the requirements of the TSO, the
manufacturer would sell it as TSO'd so he had access to the type
certificated aircraft market.  And I have difficulty believing a
hobbyist will cobble together a homebuilt GPS that meets all the TSO.  <<

will be ordering the Diehl mains as was thinking about using these wheels, 
brakes 
and tires as was suggested by Tracy.. does anyone have any input???  the 
package for tires wheels and brakes comes in at under $600.

I wanted to mount these on the Diehl gear

3/4" Cessna type axles
C-90 Hydraulic Brakes
6x3 Azusa Tristar wheels
13-500x6 Low Profile Ribbed Tires
Hegar Heel activated mastercylinders - modified for pedal operation.

I was going to use the stock Diehl nose wheel.

Does anyone have any comments plus or minus???  looks like package is rated 
for 1200 lbs, and 60 kts landing speed which should pretty much cover it I 
think???

Upgraded to AOL and don't have a problem at all.  I really like the filter 
for the e-mail that allows you filter out unwanted e-mail by words in the 
e-mail... helps alot.. had the same e-mail address for over 10 years and get 
very 
little spam.

I would be curious to see if anyone has plans for the extended elevator for 
counter weight.  I have heard people wanting to extend the h/s 6" on either 
side for better pitch control (when they are heavier!)  Can I add on to the end 
of my elevator 6" on each side and add counter weight.. should it be the full 
length (deepth) or the horizontal stabilizer???

KR>William Wynn - I can't find him!!!

[jsmon...@aol.com]

I spoke to William and sent a check to William Wynn for the corvair manual 
and video over four weeks ago.   The check hasn't been cashed, and I haven't 
gotten the letter back (returned).   I e-mailed William a week and half ago and 
haven't heard back.  I called William last week and left a message on his 
answering machine and he hasn't returned my call.

Is he around???  or does anybody know if he is OK???

You bring up an interesting point!

So if you upgraded your plane to a minimum IFR requirements,  and have an FAA

[jsmon...@aol.com]

Wait until you discover pvc pipe tape in 2" widths! if you haven't already.. 
just about as flexible and bendable.  It is used to protect galvanized and 
other pipes from corrosion or sunlight!  can be found at irrigation supply 
houses.

I would assume you would need some kind of clear enclosure in the wingtip to 
install them, or do you put the leds just out in the weather exposed???

I don't believe the KR can be certified for commercial rating/use,  or can

Perhaps Business use is a proper terminology...

KR>KR Questions - Stick Control - Prop

[jsmon...@aol.com]

Looks like it will be official.. I will be a KR Builder by the end of the 
weekend,   I am purchasing a partially completed kit and will be hauling it 
home 
this weekend!

A couple of quick questions from a beginning KR builder!-

>From the article Mark Langford put up on his website (I think by Neal) - it 
appears that the stick control is over sensitive - 3/4" in either direction is 
all that is needed to fly the KR most of the time.  It would seem that it 
would make sense to shorten the hinge length/bellcrank distance so it would not 
be 
so sensitive, or have a progressive linkage if you couldn't get full motion 
out of the ailerons in a reasonable motion length...


Also on the corvair aircraft engine, it seems like the RPMs for aircraft are 
lower and a higher RPM could yield a lot more horsepower.  I understand the 
prop tip speed limitation, but would it make sense to have a shorter diameter 
prop with more blades?  would that allow higher rpm and still obtain the same 
bite, without exceeding the maximum efficient tip speed???  I see the composite 
propellers often could have up to six blades  - was just thinking about four!

KR>Duplication of parts

[jsmon...@aol.com]

I seemed to be confused on "Jeanette's Specs"  being soon to be a new KR 
Builder, the only specs I know of are the ones on her website... top speed 200, 
 
cruise at 180.  Are there other specifications that are posted and available 
somewhere  like a chart of what everyone is getting for speed, with what 
engines, gross weight etc available somewhere???

KR>Keeping my Finished KR-2S on an Outside Tie Down

[jsmon...@aol.com]

I am purchasing a partially complete KR-2S and was thinking when it was 
finished that I would store it outside, covered on a tie down.  The location 
would 
be Corona, CA which is in southern california with fairly stable temperatures, 
and not very much rain.  I was going to make a complete cover for it.   Tie 
Downs at Corona AJO can be obtained for $30 per month, and hangers generally 
run around $300 per month.

There has been a glassair out there for several years with no cover and seems 
to have faired fairly well.

Was just looking for input,  I am planning on flying it quite often, and may 
actually dismantle it in winter time and garage it.  However it would probably 
never get below 45 degrees in the winter time, but we do get some short but 
heavy rain.

We need checklists!!!  But since I guess we can't attach files to the

could we just cut and paste the checklist into an e-mail and send it to 
everyone 
through the normal kr-net e-mail?

John -  I am thinking about building a KR-2 and the gross weight listed is

listed.  What did you do to get the gross weight up to 1200 lbs?
