Awesome video Larry! It is amazing how much your belly barn door affects the 
wind noise when it is first deployed. With the recent discussions an excellent 
example of what it should look like.

Larry, 


Nice video!  I also noticed how clean the bottom of your airplane is! I don't 
think my airplane bottom has been that clean since I painted her.


Thanks,

KR> Back to the KR...Finally

[CraigW]

Finally done with the Colt and flew .7 today.  Now on to the KR again.  But
first, todays lesson will be that no matter how hard you try you will miss
something.  My flight today after 10 months of work was anything but uneventful.
 The small oil leak turned into a big oil leak.  Good thing I am staying right
over the airport and flying oval tracks.  Oil cooler line was dripping a little
but I couldn't find the source.  Oh well lets go fly it and maybe the leak will
stop.  It only got worse.  In 45  min I lost 3 qts that mostly resides on the
belly of the plane now.  Lesson...find and fix the damn leak.  The second thing
was that if you know a plane and then make a change,,,in this case I added about
40 Hp.  Then you should expect to relearn the plane...I was not expecting all
the torque and extra right rudder I was going to need.  While learning that
lesson I fail to notice that I had no airspeed  by time I looked at it I was
half way down the 1900 foot runway.  Oh and 40 extra ponies make things happen
faster too.  So I decided we were going flying even with airspeed stuck on 0.
 Flew fine for 45 min and watched the oil pressure slowly slip down...down...
down, at 50 psi it was time to land.  Time to make an approach and see how thing
felt since I only have 1900 feet.  First  approach looked good so I went around
and came on in.  Finally something that went as planned and the landing was
uneventful.  Turned out that when we reskinned the belly we forgot to open the
static tubes.  A hot soldering iron fixed that.  So even though we had 3 people
(1 was an IA) working on the plane we all missed that static vents.  The oil
leak was all my fault as I backed off a 45 deg fitting to get it to line up with
my oil line.  So even though we try hard to think of everything.  We always will
miss something.  If were lucky, it a small something that does not become life
threatening.  Now back to that KR.

KR> Finally

[warrong2]

   Any of you that know me from past writings know of the long length of time 
it 
has taken me to finally finish my Kr2-S. Starting in 1994, going through the 
building process, then in the final stages having a Soob blow up and destroying 
that engine, Has been truly frustrating and then economics.  Now this weekend I 
finally started reworking the engine mounts for my newly built Corvair. I am in 
the process of setting up the cg due to the lower weight of the 'vair and what 
a 
ball it is.  To be able to finally see the end of this long long road, I 
couldn't even begin convey my feelings to anyone else.
  i just received the 5th bearing,  a prop I purchased from good friend Steve 
Makish.  The help from hangar buddy Bob Lester and also Steve Makish has also 
been invaluable towards the final completion and wish to express to them and 
all, my appreciation for their friendship and loyalty. Without them I would 
have 
taken a saws-all to my baby  ( "The Mistress")a long time ago. keep building 
and 
never never ever give up.

KR> Finally making a little progress

[Dan Heath]

Still VW for a while longer, as I think the time for building is almost
over, for a while.  I need to see if I still remember how to fly this bird.

Today, I have one tank tested to not leak, and the other one undergoing a
little repair due to a small leak.  I have fuel lines run from the wing
stubs to the fuel valve.  I am now waiting for some fittings and will
install the tested tank in its wing over the next week, and get the bottom
of the wing ready for finish work.



It has been a long time coming, but I might just make the good flying
weather when it starts sometime in March.

KR> Finally got my plane!

[Jose Fuentes]

Yep, got a good project, now I just need to gather up the items I hit the
list about earlier.

Though my top item is landing gear, perfer tri-gear. I'm looking to get the
Diehl gear, thoguh if anyone has some from an old project then let me know.

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2094554=1106895076=f07ac91656

For anyone interested, these are my BD4 pictures
 http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2035597=1106895076=c02c8404e0

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2061761=1106895076=570a3f7bfa

Yea I have a few repairs and changes to make, I got the Diehl wing skins so
that should make things alot faster for the wings, spars and all, are all
done.

It looks like it had the Grove landing gear on it at one time, though I
don't like the way it hangs on the outside, so I want the better loking tri
gear.

So if anyone has the

WHeels, brakes
Gear Legs
Front Nose Gear (wheel too)

Just let me know ASAP.

To add to the list I would also be interested in flairings and wheel pants.

Thanks everyone.

you were absolutely right about the increased performance and thanks for 
the heads up. Of course I didn't exactly put it to MY CFI as you did to 
yours. ONE of us has to have some sense of SUBTLETY and MANNERS The 
landing was one bounce (actually a skip) and a good recovery. I expected 
that actually, with the reduction in weight. I probably could have come 
in with 20 degrees of  flaps and made a nice landing. I think two more

Subject: RE: KR> finally current again


I don't know if I am doing this correctly or not.  But I am a want-a-be that
soloed some years ago but never followed through due to financial
considerations with small children etc.  Now those considerations are all in
their forties and I am approaching retirement at 70.
  __

First consideration is your licence do you have the correct licence to be
able to fly a KR2, if not sort that out.

Suggest you go to " The Gathering 2009 "

I suggest you buy a KR2 Flying or a project that is well on it's way there
are several around.   It will save you a lot of time. Even if you have to
redo some of it you can see how someone else has done it.

Good luck

building a power plant for Kabul.  If anyone would like to come over and
help out I may be able to fine room in the man camp for you! We are only

through down town and that is a 10 or 12 mile trip through one of the most
dangerous slums in the world.  I expect to be finished over here in 2010 and
retire at the age of 70 so will need something to do in my spare time then
like building an airplane.  My Corvair will help but I want to build an
airplane also. How does one get started with a KR? By the way I have a
nephew who is also interested in building, he already has his ticket.  I
have not told him yet but I may just help him build.  He is currently

Hi Lynn.

I clicked on the link on your signature file to have a look at your KR but
it is not working.  The location of your web page has changed and is now

  But one thing I never see elaborated on is how does one start to build a 
KR.
 Where do you buy the  plans, or must it be a kit or what? Also for one who 
has never actually had
a license to fly can I master this aircraft after I build it?   I understand
that I would have to almost start over on the licensing process as it has
been 40 years since I have last been at the controls.  Any encouragement or
discouragement or comments would be welcome.

Well Larry, The building of a KR is a great experance. I enjoyed it very 
much. It will take some time to complete a KR-II. Don't let happen to you 
what happened to me. I completed mine with all the paper work and signed off 
for flight.  I was into high speed taxi runs up and down the runway and 
flying my old Cessna every weekend.  My medical came due.  I didn't pass. I 
locked the hangar door and left for Alaska.  A few years have passed now and 
I've become used to the idea.  I'm now ready, to let go of my life's first 
love (flying). I'm returning to Central Oregon this summer.  N37LH and 
N7215T need to be dusted off, sold and see some sunshine again. So Larry, my 
advice is, that the building experance is wonderful but, If you want to fly, 
GO FLY.

Larry,

Assuming you haven't seen too many completed KRs in the flesh or have had a 
ride in one, I'd start there with my decision making. Your physical size and 
weight could be a factor.  Try to find someone in your area that is willing 
to give you a ride - that may the best info you could  use at this point. 
Let KRnet know where you live and there are guys that will steer you in the 
right direction.

KR> finally current again

[John Gotschall]

Guys,


I can't help but be happy today,  I finished my first BFR after more
than 10 years of no flying (well, full scale anyway)..

Divorce in Washington will strip you of all your posessions and future
wealth, but only for ten years or so.. ( I'd guess about $650k or so)
After  10 years of state imposed poverty: I am finally free, and now I
can say flying again!

wooo hooo!

After ten years, I went to "get current"  the instructor could not
believe how greasey those landings were, so he made me do a few to be
sure it wasn't just luck.. greased them all.  Then on the second flight
(today) I greased two more in a 18 knot 90 degree sidewind..  I crabbed
it to the deck then kissed the windy wheel first, drug it along for a
while then let the rest down.  Sweet...

The instructor was laughing hard when he saw ten years of dust bunnies
and laundry room lint flying off my flight bag at the airport..

Too good to be true.. now I can fly, I just need to massage my kr to
fly..

jg

KR> Finally got to fly again.

[Mark Jones]

This morning I made two hour flight at daybreak. I had to climb above the 6500' 
cloud deck to get out of the 5 mile visibility haze. Once I broke out on top it 
was beautiful clear flying from there. Winds up there were giving me a 35 mph 
variance according to my GPS. When I landed we had 17 mph almost directly 
across the runway. It was not my best landing but it was ok. This was my first 
flight since Sept 5th due to weather here has been wet and not favorable for 
flying. Sure was good get back in the air. The rain is coming back tomorrow. 
You guys need to pray to the weather gods  so we all will have good weather to 
get to the Gathering.

KR> Finally Home after Oshkosh!

[william Clapp]

It has been a long couple weeks but Elaine and I finally made it home.  We left 
out on Tuesday the 18th and flew to Illinois, spent the night and flew up toNew 
Richmond Wisconsin to my mom and dads on Wednesday.  We spent a couple days 
there with family and helping my dad put the wings on his turbo 206 (one I 
painted last year).  Dad left for Oshkosh on Saturday in his VW Rabbit diesel.  
He voluteers for the MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) booth that was in Hangar 
D.  Last year he flew the Cessna 180 that was his mission plane in Mexico to 
Oshkosh.  We spent the last six years restoring it after it had been damaged.   
It is neat to see my dad own his first mission plane.  This year he needed to 
drive but I will try to talk him into flying in next year.
  Sunday, Elaine and I flew out to the mini-KR gathering in Wakesha...Mark 
Jones has some great pics from that - It was good to meet all the guys there.   
The other guys decided to make me try to lead them to Oshkosh - not sure if it 
was great decision...it can be confusing as they found out but we all landed 
safely at the World's busiest airport.
  Elaine and I stayed at the YMCA with Glenda McElwee (KR2 builder) during 
our time there.  It is a great place for those interested in indoor camaping at 
Oshkosh.  I believe you can check on it online.  Losts of fun - busy talking to 
people - seeing some great flying - we left out yesterday - stopped in KY for 
overnight and made it home about noon today.   Tired but a great tripMore 
to come...
  Keep building guys and gals.Bill and N41768  - 385 hours.

KR> Finally Getting the Hang of it.

[Barry Kruyssen]

Last weekend I had two flights, one on Saturday morning and the other on Sunday 
morning.  Could have done more but economics is restricting my flying time.

Saturday, Taxied out after a Cessna 170, take off was uneventful, climb up over 
the mountain range behind Atherton and as I near the top I see the 170 still 
climbing to clear the range.
Should have seen the smile on my face at that point.  Got to Chillagoe 40 
minutes later and lined up for landing, the approach was average but the 
landing was . YEH material.  As I wheeled on I 
heard the tyres chirp but didn't feel the bump of the touchdown (now an even 
bigger smile).  Had a drink and comfort stop, hoped back in and departed 
downwind (about 2 knots) back to Atherton. The air was quite turbulent on the 
return trip so a reduced speed was established for my comfort.  Average ground 
speed of 104 knots for the round trip including both take offs and circuits 
(calculated from the GPS track).

Sunday, Took off and tracked for Wangettie Beach from Atherton. Made my 
departure call, a little while later another aircraft said he was departing 
from a private strip that was along my track line but should be clear before I 
got there, I asked for an exact location. "Koha" he replied, to which I replied 
"overhead in 1 minute at 2500ft". His reply was "God that thing moves".  Big 
Smile again.  Continued on to the beach then tracked north following the 
beaches but just out over the ocean, nice and smooth.  Once I reached my fuel 
limit I turned and headed home tracking a straight line.  Again very turbulent 
and also very windy, so a reduced cruise speed for comfort again.  All this 
bouncing around made it necessary to land for a comfort stop, so I landed at a 
little private sealed strip nestled in between the hills.  A very turbulent 
circuit was experienced followed but another squeaker of a landing.  Took care 
of business and headed home to Atherton.  As I flew along, passing over a 
friends coffee plantation, I got a call to come and have a cup of coffee.  I 
had never landed at Nat's strip because it is only 800m with very tall Gum 
trees on the approach end. I literally weaved between the trees and made a 
lovely 3 pointer, rolling to a stop 100m before the end of the strip.  Had a 
drink of water and a chat (I don't drink coffee, but Nat is hopeful he'll 
convert me) and flew back to Atherton.

As I was leaving, the hanger after packing up my KR2, I was reflected on the 
past 2 days flying and thought "I'm finally getting the hang of flying this 
KR2".

78 hours and can't get enough of it.  YHAA

KR> Finally Home from trip!

[ifly...@aol.com]

Hello to Kr-landia!  It has been a very busy two months with  41768.  A 
little update on what Ive been doing. 

Elaine (9yr daughter) and I left Valdosta GA and  flew to Tulsa OK on 
July 3rd to visit with my sister.  Did that 840 mile  leg in 5.1 hours on 26 
gallons of fuel.  I had a little headwind but not  bad.  Cool weather at 
11,000'.  
My dad flew his Cessna 180 down from  New Richmond WI and we spent the 4th 
there in Tulsa.  We then flew to New  Richmond WI together in formation.  The 
180 does about 145 mph at 70%  power.  I was at about 50% and 19"MAP keeping 
up. 
 My mom took a few  nice in-flight photos that I will try to post somehow.  
We did that trip in  about 5 hours as well.

I sent a week or so helping my dad with a Cessna  170B that was ground 
looped and damaged - rebuilding everything forward from the  rear door post. 
Lots of riviting and making panels.  

New Richmond had a small air show and my dad and I  displayed our planes 
on the tarmac there.  A couple KR guys came by to  visit.  Del Magsam had his 
Corvair powered Sonex there as well.  

On Friday before Oshkosh Elaine and I flew to  Waupaca WI to visit Pete 
Broadagan and see his Corvair KR2-S.  Very nice  and well on his way - it is 
running now.  He and his wife took great care  of us.  The local airport had a 
great cookout there and many airplanes flew  in from all over for the get 
together.  

We then left on Saturday enroute to Broadhead for  the Peitenpol fly-in 
bu never landed there due to really bad weather that ha  moved in so we went to 
Madison WI where we had been invited to stay with Dick  Hartwig (Kr wanabee) 
and his wife.  Dick invited us for a hanger Swing  dance that EAA was 
promoting.  What FUN!.  Elaine and I got to try our  hand at dancing (not a 
pretty 
sight) and we listend to the sounds of Glen Miller  music all night from "The 
Ladies must Swing" big band.   They were  very good.  We also got the 
opportunity 
to get a tour of "Fuddy  Duddy"  a B-17 that is on loan to EAA since 
"Aluminum Overcast" is under  repairs.  We had opportunity to get some picture 
of 
N41768 under the wing  of the B-17.  Looks really neat!   The main tires of the 
B-17 are  taller that the KR!

Sunday - After a peasant visit with the Hartwig  family we flew to 
Hartford and had a brat and soda with the likes of Mark Jones,  Mark Langford, 
and a 
bunch of other Kr enthusiast.  Joe Weber flew his KR  in from Cuba City WI 
and we flew to Oshkosh together from there.
Charlie Becker (EAA Homebuilt manager) got me prime real estate in the  
homebuilt section.  He had me parked right in front of the new Homebuilt  
Headquarters and had made signs for my plane about building a low cost  plane.  
Some of 
you may have seen an article that was done about it.   My dad arrived in 
Oshkosh the day before with the 180.  He was a former  mission aviation pilot 
with 
MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) and helped out at  the MAF booth in Hanger 
D.  The 180 was his first plane he used in the  mission field in Mexico in 
1969 (after I turned 1)  which we were able to  purchase about 15 years ago and 
rebuild.  It has a lot of interesting  misson modifications on it.

Monday -Monday - Oshkosh- was a lot of fun but I  spent most of my time 
talking to people about the KR - the Corvair Conversion  and flying.   Elaine 
spent most of her time at the local YMCA and the  EAA museum.  I met a lot of 
known faces and many new ones.  Forgive me  but I am sure I will forget most 
names.   It was nice to meet Burt  Rutan and see Spaceship One and Global Flyer 
and see all the cool planes.

A note about Oshkosh and KRs - WHY aren't there  more KRs showing up ?  
There is a need for low cost fun airplane to be  displayed there.  People are 
VERY interested in the KR simplicity and  uniqueness.  I hope to see more there 
next year.  Very few people go  and check out the RV's and Glassair anymore - 
they are pricey and look all the  same.  People are interested is something 
different.  Too bad Janet  Rand doesnt show up anymore but I sure hope more KR 
will start going.   There were a total of 4 KRs all week.  Mine, Joe Weber's, 
the Porgapolis  Pig, and another from a couple who trailered to to Fon Du Lac 
and the flew it  in.  A very nice KR!

Elaine got a ride back to Valdosta with Glenda  McKlewee and I flew back 
to New Richmond in formation with my dad on Monday  after Oshkosh.  More nice 
photos I can show soon.  I work on a King  Air and a 414 for a week to make 
some dough and then the following Sunday we gat  a message that my grandmother 
had passed away.  My dad and I ended up  flying people to South Dakota in the 
180 for the funeral that week.  I  really enjoy flying with my dad.  We both 
have Cessna 180 time - I have  about 120 hours and he has a little over 7500 
hours...it was great fun.

The following week was work with my dad.  We  are rebuilding a Cessna 
Turbo 206 and I took my paint 

KR> Finally a Pilot again

[Dan Heath]

Well, today I got signed off to be a pilot again after 10 years away from
flying. I did not remember that the 172 was so hard to fly. I guess that the
KR spoiled me. It seemed like I had to muscle it to make it go where I
needed it to go. It was most difficult to operate the elevator without trim
and in slow flight, I thought my arms were going to give out. It was like
flying a brick.

He said that I had a smooth touch with the plane, which is the nicest thing
that anyone has ever said about my flying. Come to think of it, it is the
only nice thing anyone has ever said about my flying. 

Even though I am officially signed off, he told me that I need to take some
remedial "landings 101", which I have set up for tomorrow morning.

Putting in the new fuel sender probe tonight, so maybe it won't be long now.
I think I NEED BILL.

[John Bavington]

After reading about all of your building adventures for the last 6
months, I've finally begun my own project.
I've picked up a trailer load of assorted bits and pieces, including
plans and 2S supplements from a builder who's not continuing.

At the moment there's no two bits of timber stuck together, but all
the control surface hinges have been made, as well as WAFs and gear
attach thingys, control cable pulleys, and all sorts of other little
parts that will - no doubt - be crucial when I finally work out what
they are.

I've also got all the ply (Australian Hoop Pine 'cos Spruce is way too
expensive here) and enough foam for just about everything.

Have a look at what's happening at:

Cheers,
John.
