 Original message From: Phillip Hill via KRnet  Date: 11/6/16  9:30 AM  (GMT-06:00) To: KRnet  Cc: Phillip Hill  Subject: KR> Project 
for sale 
I've been sitting here for an hour, starting, erasing, restarting, editing,
trying to figure out how to say what I need to say, so I'll just say it I
guess. After a couple of years of trying to complete this project, I have
run into so serious snags. Pardon me as I get long winded.? First off, I
purchased an abandoned project that was quite far along that had one major
flaw and that was the glass parts of the structure was wavy and uneven. It
didn't matter to me, I have lots of fiberglass experience on boats and
hovercraft. I made this decision after many months of checking the project
over against the plans etc. Ok so I cut all the glass off, fixed a couple
little things and began making the other decisions necessary to move
forward, like center stick or dual stick, seat position, flaps of no flaps.
In the mean time I began contacting EAA Tech counselors to get official
guidance on my project. I decided to keep the project stock with original
retract gear and re-engineer the gear lock mechanism as everyone else has
done. Then my Dad became ill and I spent most of my time caring for this
great WWII Navy Vet and stopped working on the plane. A year later Dad
passed away and I took some time off to rest up and help my mom.

Lack of a Tech Counselor is one of the major problems I have. I initially
contacted the EAA and got a list, three in my area. I contacted everyone on
the list. One had moved and not updated the EAA so he was out. One had
moved farther away than he was comfortable travelling. One didn't give me
the time of day. I went to the local EAA chapter and they didn't have
anyone at the time but gave me the name of a guy who was going to be their
designated Tech Counselor (TC). I contacted him, talked to him face to face
at the meeting and set up an appointment. He had t drive through my town on
the way back from work so it was perfect. Well, he was a no show. I called
him several times and got no answer, left messages etc.? Nothing.? Ok, so
now what. I continued down the path I had started so as not to be just
sitting around. I knew where I was going and until some told me otherwise I
was just going to continue but I couldn't get too far ahead of myself.

So I finally made phone contact with the original guy from the EAA list
that didn't give me the time of day.? He was about to go to Europe for a
month and we set a time to make contact again after her returned. He asked
me for my contact details etc. I was excited to get this underway. Well,
the allotted time came and went, no contact. Sent the guy several emails
(his preferred method of contact), and left him a couple voice mails and
got no return.

I kept on working, I got an experienced KR builder to stop by and take a
look. He gave me a few pointers, and suggested a few things, which I did. I
heard a fellow KR builder had enlisted the original guy I had arrangement
with as his adviser, so I made contact with him again. I told him about the
project again and he said he had a few other things to do and he would call
me right back. The call never came. So now, I'm really ticked off. I get
the fact these guys are volunteers but wow. I decided I was going to have
to be the worlds biggest pest and push the issue then I thought, do I
really want someone inspecting my project and giving me advice whose heart
is not in it. Not a chance. If I was the TC and I had a guy hounding me,
would I have a good attitude about it? Would I be able to look at his
project objectively?? Probably not.

Now the WAF (wife approval factor) is at an all time low.? She has asked me
to give up my dream. She wants me to concentrate on my artistic skills
etc.? I can't afford to buy a plane, I can't afford the high annual
expenses etc. My only option was to use my engineering, intuition and
skills and build something that I could use to stay flying. I'm in great
health, take no meds for anything, and it would be a shame to waste a
perfectly good FAA Medical. But alas, it must not have been meant to be.

So, for a reasonable period of time, my project is for sale. I have a
conventional, retractable gear, slightly widened (2"-3") KR-2 torn down,
back to boat stage with 2 sets of wings. One set built with Deihl wing
skins with 10gal fuel tanks in each wing. The other set was built to plans.
I have VW engine engine mount and a few other odds and ends. Gear just
needs to be re-attached etc and its rolling or convert it to fixed gear.
Also have forward deck with fuel tank built-in per plans. Pictures upon
request (Off List Please). Second set of wings (Deihl skinned) for sale
separately from the KR-2.

Anyway, this is not the way I wanted to go. I have engineered and air
tested several innovations I thought would enhance the KR but now that

Unless you will be flying from very short runways, lift producing 
flaps are not necessary.? However, drag for the landing approach is 
critical , IMHO.? If you want flaps, build them to produce drag also 
for the landing approach.? A simple speed brake will suffice for 
drag.? There really is no need to try to combine the two unless you 
are looking for an aeronautical / mechanical challenge.? 600 hour 
with speed brake only.

KR> ferrite toroids

[ppaulvsk at aol.com]

I got a response from Jim at RST Engineering. I will past it below.  So with 
this info and the links that Steve G. gave me. I should be able to make some 
good and inexpensive nav antanas.

Paul Visk
Belleville Il.
618 406 4705


We recommend RG-58.  If  you choose to use another coax diameter, you are on 
your own.  It took us two years of experiments to determine the best toroid mix 
for VHF antennas for RG-58.

Antennas are reciprocal.  That is, they have no idea whether they are transmit 
or receive.  We believe ferrites are necessary on both transmit and receive 
antennas.

KR> ferrite toroids

[PPaulVsk at aol.com]

I've got one of those as well.  Put the response public.   I'm sure other 
people care too.





Ray_pilot

Ok, here is one of the responses I got off net.

Name has been removed to protect his smartness.

Paul,
Receiving ONLY antennas do not need a RF choke, which is what  those 
things really do when installed.   They are used on  transmitting coax to 
keep reflected RF energy (standing waves) from feeding  back down the 
coax into the transmitter and usually ruining the output  
transistor(s).   Sort of like an electronic check  valve.

RST engineering is still in business, and they sell kits of stuff  to 
make antennas - which included's  20 ferrite toroids.  Check it  out at

http://www.rst-engr.com/

I don't know what the diameter of  RG-400 is, so if you can tell me I 
would appreciate it.

Have a good  4th weekend

Thanks for the response.
The RG-400 diameter is .200"  
What you said is my understanding. But on RST front page they have a  
picture of a VHF Nav antana. It looks like it has toroids. This is were I'm  
confused

Paul -

Right you are - I just looked and sure enough, there seem to  be toroids 
in that picture.   Now I'm not sure whether he used the  wrong picture or 
the wrong description, or whether he really does use  toroids on 
receiving antennas.  I can see no reason to have them . .  .  but read on.

That pictured antenna is a dipole, and I have used  dipoles with no balun 
in ham radio - and believe me, they receive fine for  VOI

CE reception.   Whether or not a NAV signal is that much  different I do 
not know, or whether there is something about it that   would make a 
difference.   I don't think so, but could sure be  wrong.   One thing  I 
have noticed about NAV antennas (OMNI?)  on planes is that they are vee 
shaped, usually pointing the open end of the  vee toward the front of the 
plane, but sometimes toward the  rear.   Maybe that makes a difference as 
well so there are not  blank spots in receiving  NAV  signals.

I guess I should not  really have commented without absolutely being 
positive about the toroids on  NAV antennas, but for what it's worth, it 
is true that for other uses  RECEIVING antennas do not need a balun or RF 
choke to function  well.

Could you experiment on the ground with a temporary setup to prove  the 
proper reception, or would it have to be done in the air to be able to  
receive a signal where you are ?   I don't have a nav receiver and  
indicator here to test with, or I would.  As I learned many, many years  
ago with ham radio, experimenting in that field is as much fun and pain  
as doing it with airplanes. :-)

If you find out what the answer to  the toroid question is, please let me 
know sometime.  I can always  learn something new.

Thanks for the coax diameter info.  That helps  me.

[ppaulvsk]

I wasn't planning on going to the spar cap. Just the center of the web. After 
the holes are drilled. ?I'm putting a 1/8" plywood doubler over them.Then run 
the tube threw it. Like what Mark said.?My goal is to keep the fuek coming out 
of the ?tanks in the same plain befor going though the firewall to the duel 
Facet pumps.?Larry, there is a horizontal brace on the back side of the spar 
and my floor covers the front side. Like most KR-2S

If your KR is built like most KRs, the center section spar is sitting on top of 
the bottom longerons which leaves a gap underneath the spar where the fuel line 
would easily fit.

KR> Gathering

I have been checking flights to Portland and noticed Southwest  just opened

I followed the prices last year and noticed that  they didn't get any 
cheaper the closer to the date.

KR> center spar analysis. Just an idea. (Repost sorry)

[PPaulVsk at aol.com]

Just an idea. We have a gathering coming up in September.  I would  imagine 
there is a set of fwd spars lying around gathering dust  somewhere.  If we 
can get them to McMinnville with some  sandbags and do our on test. I would 
be willing to pitch in to  help defray the cost.  

I might be able to talk to Eric at Wicks to donate some of there  scrap 
spruce if someone would like to build a AS5048 Spar. We would  just need a 
center and one outboard spar.

since all my time is spent at airports well above 5000', but; while I think I 
could get my KR in and out of a 1200' strip under the right conditions near sea 
level with a bit of practice, I don't think I would want that to be my normal 
operation. I don't think take off would be a problem at all, but it would be 
challenging to hit the front edge of the runway every time. Eventually, you'll 
end up in the position where you're too fast to stop and too slow to get back 
off for a go around. I'd opt for keeping the plane at a longer runway if that's 
a viable option. As always, your mileage may vary, and my opinion may be skewed 
by the conditions I normally fly in. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM

There has been lots of buzz of late about the FAA dropping the requirement for

acknowledged that most GA pilots, and probably most KR pilots, are over 55 
years old. They and we are getting into the group where cancer, circulatory 
issues and such are more and more prevalent. Physicals are an excellent 
procedure to find and head off those health problems. Colonoscopy is considered 
the "gold standard" for detecting and preventing colorectal cancer. Blood tests

At an actuation rate of 12mm or .472 inches per second it will take 
approximately 12 seconds for the belly board to fully extend. 

Is that fast enough?

One exception is aircraft certified without an electrical system. Maybe my 
purist idea to replicate Ken Rand's KR1 should hold true and include no

Dihedral is good.  Why would you want to do that!  That had to be a

I wonder if I can shim my wing attachments to create more dihedral?  I could 
use some help with my instrument approaches  too.

The only discussion I remember is when I said I'd INCREASE the dihedral 
on my next plane to improve roll stability.  I'll probably increase it 
by a third for starters. Others may have other opinions, by every KR 
I've flown liked to wander off to the left or right by slowly dipping a 
wing and never come back again...

Got the brake lines reconnected to the main wheel brake cylinders on my 
KR-2 
today.  Had to extend the Nylaflo tubing 1-1/2 inches due to moving the 
wheels 3 inches further aft.   I can see why some manufacturers pipe the top 
of the master cylinder back to a reservoir.  Bleeding the brake system is 
fairly simple but messy and downright awkward on my KR-2 with the master 
cylinders tucked away under the panel.

My first flight of the year,  1/11/2015

Aires landing and come back to San Pedro, the flight was 50 minutes on very hot 
day, 95? f  out and 101? f into the cockpit 
San Pedro landing was at 1470 feet over the soft runway (grass), in San Nicolas 
was at 990 feet with a density altitude of 2170 feet.
the climb was very soft to keep oil temperature below 248? f, the cruiser to 
1500 feet was comfortable if we forget the heat.

We're I'm coming from with my comment is that in ?recent years it has been 
demonstrated that there is so much unutilized potential of a KR when you put a 
smaller horsepower engine on it. ?
I can understand if your tying to make an LSA out of a KR. ? Other then that I 
feel that a KR is a some what of a high performance aircaft and deserve a big 
engine. ?So build it that way. ?If not build yourself a?Pietenpol. ?: )

I am thinking along these lines, not building yet. The airport where I 
will base my completed aircraft, whatever it may turn out to be, is at 
6200'. Much as I like Jeff Scott's O-200 approach for a hot and high 
home airport, a VW based engine is about the size of my budget for 
purchase and to keep running. There will be way more times I would be 
flying alone and it doesn't make sense to me to build a 2-seater. The 
added span and wing area of a KR-2 on a single seat fuselage would seem 
to make the most of the available power of a VW at high altitude.

What I should have said is that liniar travel is easy - i.e. 20 deg up and 20 
deg down on the opposite side. I was actually thinking that the differential 
deflection had more to do with not having to use rudder for yaw


I did not have full deflection and by the performance, I could not tell.? 
However, I can imagine that under slow flight in windy conditions, it might 
become a problem.

to twist when the brakes are applied. ?So the glass stiffens to legs. With our 
legs being 1" thick we may not need to wrap them.

Bill, 

Sure have.? Kept them at 1" thick.? If you want I can send you the drawings
of the legs, photos and the bracket CAD.? Email me at dprich01 at comcast.net .
As the plane sits right now with me in it there is about .5" deflection.
I'm not sure why folks wrap the legs in fiberglass.? Grumman doesn't.

Ray's bug 
I've gotten things (including this most recent one that Larry is
referring to) from Ray's address for quite a long time.  Never very often
and never anything that has caused a problem, but something got into his
address book a long time ago and occasionally sends things out to the
addresses in it.  I'm no expert on this subject but it could be that his
computer doesn't have a "bug" exactly but rather his address book
contents have been harvested and used to send out spam.  Or maybe that's
the very definition of an internet bug - I always think of bugs as
defects in programming.  In any case it is very infrequent that I get
something from his address and it's always easy to identify as spam since
it's an impersonal message including a link we're supposed to click on. 
Of course I never click on such links from these kinds of emails.  I'm
very clever.  I'm a pilot.  

Mike
KSEE

For what it's worth, I'll mention that I never have ever used an "address
book" packaged with email clients.  They are prime targets for the
spammers & other evil doers and of all the prime targets, Internet
Explorer and Outlook/Outlook Express are the most targeted since they are
packaged with Windows and therefore give the spammers & evil doers more
bang for their buck.  That's the way it used to be anyway.  I'm sure
they've gotten a lot more sophisticated with their tricks.

Only one side failed...the beauty of a double pole switch...the two

one enclosure.   I'm pretty sure WW got that idea from me...I did it 
first and he liked the idea, at least that's what he told me.  You could 
use two SPST switches, but when you do that you have the possibility of 
having them both turned off at once...not good in a rapid-first highly 
tense situation where that could be overlooked, and you'd also be 
connecting fuel to ignition, rather than keeping them separated.  You'd 
need four SPST switches to accomplish the same functionality, with an 
increase in human error potential.  When I flip my switch I wouldn't 
even notice anything happened except the green LED turns RED (it's a 
bicolor).  See http://www.n56ml.com/electrical/index.html to get the 
gist of how mine is done (although the bicolor LED isn't shown here).  
N56ML flew 1130 hours with this setup without a single hiccup.

Since the bad switch incident, I now start the engine with the switch in 
the "backup" mode, so the ignition gets its juice from the backup 
battery, rather than the main circuit.  This not only gives me a check 
of the backup battery, but it ensures the ignition system is getting a 
full 12.8V during starting, rather than "whatever is left over" when the 
starter has taken a huge bite out of the main battery power.   Once it 
starts, I swap it over to "primary" to make that red LED go away, and 
continue to fly it that way until I land. Works for me!   Of course the 
iEFIS also monitors and displays the voltage on both backup and main 
battery at all times anyway, so the main point is more juice to the 
ignition system and a check of the switch, rather than doing it on runup.

Hey guys
I have mentioned this once before and am repeating my request now.
I have a very good friend and KR builder/pilot who is currently in the USA
and would very much love to get a ride with someone in a KR, specifically a
corvair powered KR.

His name is Rob and he is currently staying in Valdosta North Florida but
will be making his way towards Washington next week via Charleston and then
West before returning to Fort Lauderdale to board a plane to Trinidad and
back to his yacht.

Is there anybody on or near to his route willing to give my buddy a ride?

KR> 819JF Performance

[ppaulvsk via KRnet]

It would be interesting to see if there's a difference in cooling efficiency 
between the baffling and the?plenums on the same engine. I talked to WW about 
the conversation we had about you and ?Joe H's had same engings and similar 
temperatures. WW?said that Joe's baffle design could have been made more 
efficient. ?That is why you had similar numbers. ?I think with you changed over 
to plenums and have a good temperature comparison. ?It will finally put this to 
rest.

KR> N891JF is flying again

[ppaulvsk via KRnet]

Congratulations Mark. I to made my first flight in left seat in a C172 in 25 
years. It felt like I was a brand new student pilot at first. The instructor 
was very impressed how I progress throughout the flight. He said one more 
flight should do it. ?
How does 819JF performance and weight and balance compare to 56ML?

  N891JF flew again yesterday.  It felt like a "first flight", given that I'd 
removed, upgraded, or replaced just about everything in the plane, so the 
stress level was a bit high.  It was a fairly uneventful flight though, 2.4 
hours and 9 touch-and-goes just to get the feel of it (and the new speed brake) 
again.  I do very much like the speed brake.

  I'm now working through a short list of minor squawks, and number one on the 
list was the deletion of the tailwheel cable springs and slack and making them 
"straight wired" like N56ML, which I've already dealt with.  A lot of data was 
gathered, the Explorer is being recalibrated based on that data, and it's now 
full of fuel and awaiting the next flight.  I'd have flown again today but it 
was a bit windy for that, and will be for the next several days.  Tomorrow 
night will likely be the reinstallation of wheel pants. 

  I think this will do nicely...

KR> Sanding blocks

[PPaulVsk at aol.com]

Thansk for the Ideas. I have a piece of 4" schedule 40. It's a  little 
heavy at 4'. I might go to Home depot and get a piece  of schedule 20. I'm 
trying a 1' x 4" with a L angle on top to stiffen it  up. With two vise grips 
clamped on to it for handle it working good. I  found a can on of  brush on 
Contact cement in the basement  which is working much better then the spray. I 
think for the outboard  wing and the turtleback I'll use the PVC pipe. 
I didn't know sanding could be so fun. Seeing my strips of  wood and foam 
blocks turn into a horizontal  stabilizer.   .

I did  the same thing with a 2x4.  Staple the edge of the sandpaper to the  
vertical side of  the 2x4.  Worked for me.

KR> Sanding Blocks

[PPaulVsk at aol.com]

Any suggestions on sanding blocks. I made a 4ft board for my horizontal  
stabilizer out of a straight 2x4. I'm having problems keeping the sandpaper on 
 the board. I used contact cement and that's not seem to hold and when the 
edges  peal up it digs into the foam. I'm at the start of a lot of sanding 
and I figure  there's a LOT of experience out there with sanding.  I could 
definitely use  some suggestions. 
Thanks

KR> Diehl gear legs

[PPaulVsk at aol.com]

Can someone tell me how thick the Diehl gear legs  are. 

 A  few months ago someone posted about some fiberglass gear legs that look 
 similar to the Diehl gear legs for $50.00 a set on ebay. I got a  set of 
them.  
. 
One  thing beside needing trimming them is that they are 1" thick.  I  
think that's thicker then the Diehl gear and might be too  stiff.

KR> Fwd: Grain direction

[PPaulVsk at aol.com]

Larry, the mark that you see is a burn mark from my sander. I did remove  
the mark but that brings up a question.  
Would sanding burn marks affect the bond with T88 epoxy. I  think I've been 
wearing out my sandpaper a little far to save $ and get to  a point to were 
I burn a lot wood.

Paul,

Looks like you're moving right along on your  project.  Are you using 
aircraft grade spruce?  It's hard to  tell from the photos, they are a 
bit blurry, but the grain on one piece  looks widely separated and the 
other looks like it has a knot on the end  grain.  The photo makes it 
look like white pine you'd get at the  lumber yard.  Just checking..
