KR> flying stories ?
All the best Mark. Glad to hear you are OK. I know just how you feel. Sounds like similar damage as mine had. They are a mighty aircraft, and easy to repair. It will be interesting to see your next engine design. Phil Matheson
KR> Fwd: Cranks and flywheels
Also remember a belted gear reduction will take the loads and not the crank, the engine can the produce the RPM it was designed to, and produce the HP it is said to. You can also run a larger prop or more pitch or both. Phil Matheson KR2
KR> wing tip slop
Martin I'm in melb for a few days. How are you. Any more news on the Damage, Can it be fixed. Phil Matheson
KR> Fuel System
When first installed, I noted that it would nearly flood the engine and that an immediate leaning of the mixture was required whenever it was turned on. I solved this one by installing a 5/32" bypass line from the pump outlet back to the header tank. Mixture adjustments from pump on to pump off are now minimal. - Facet come in all different PSI pressures. My carb ONLY needs 3psi. So find out what you need and buy a inline pressure reduction, or but the correct pressure pump. I have a great unit one on my KR but I am away at the moment and can not remember the name.

KR> Re: Removable Turtle Deck
Sid. I was reading your web page fuel tank section, and was wondering what you used and how you sealed you fuel tank inspection ports, and your unions you used for the vents. Phil Matheson. phillipmathe...@bigpond.com
KR> Removable Turtle Deck
I have some questions about whether or not to build my TD removable. For those that did, have you found it useful? Is it worth carrying that extra weight in the tail to do so? For those who didn't, have you been able to maintain your aircraft without? Paul I have a complete removable forward and Turtle deck. No crawling under dash or peaking through inspection holes. The turtle deck comes completely off in a few mins. I removed it at the Natfly a few weeks ago in Temora and bystanders could not believe their eyes. (thanks Mark L for your ideas). I can do a complete inspection in mins. WOULD not be without it. I am doing same on my current project.

KR> Additional Corvair Bearing

KR> Stalls
Video full stall. - Joe that is a good idea. I have now purchased a small hat mount or glasses mount camera. I will look at that soon. Phil Matheson Down under.
KR> WAF spacers/individual bolts
I have been around this thing for a long time and this subject keeps coming up. I think that the consensus is that the single bolt, with spacer, is the -- Dan I use the single bolt, but what I did to make aliment easier was, I installed the was in anyway you see fit, then I glued a 5/8 block across the bottom of the top WAF, so the wing attachment rests on the block and lines up the bolt holes.
