KR> Spar dimensions

[null]

Thanks Mark. That question Was a little premature. I was thrown by the fact 
that they sent me material for the verticals that was too small (which I had to 
reorder) and the vagueness of the plans. Makes sense now. Had an issue with 
which way the laminate was supposed to go and the size stock they sent me. Long 
story short, I flubbed that one and will be ordering more stock. This story 
could go on and on. I did find though that A/S part number for that stock is 
bigger than what they send with the kit, also if you order it a bit bigger it 
is cheaper per linear than the smaller stuff. Over 2$ per foot cheaper which 
ends up being almost $50 for just the fore main spar caps unless I'm missing 
something there. Anywho, thank you.

Spar cap only.  The "drawing number 12" covers spar and verticals, and 
underneath shows the additional web plywood added, with no dimensions, 
so I assumed the dimensions applied to caps only. And my spar material 
came very close to 2-5/32, so that clinched it for me.

Quick question. The dimensions for the main spar called out in the plans. 2 
5/32" top view. Is that to include the birch ply or is that the cap only?

Thank you

Does anyone have the dimensions of the spar caps (width and depth) and the 
length and thickness of the blocks between them handy? I'm bored and feel 
like figuring out how strong the things are.

And he who plans ahead and verifies the spar design in the plane is suitable 
for his uses will survive to fly again.

KR>Spar dimensions, help needed

[veedu...@aol.com]

To All,

I've been asked to assist in the repair of what appears to be a KR 
derivitive. The center section of the box-type front spar is fabricated in the 
typical 
KR method of upper & lower booms faced with ply shear webs.  Wing is fiberglas 
over foam.  The plane is not new and has accumulated quite a few hours.

The booms appear to be vertical grain DF,  probably the Mountain variety, 
very nice stuff (about 20 annular rings to the inch).  Their dimensions appears 
to be 1-1/2" thick by a tad over 2" wide.

Question:  Is 1-1/2" the normal thickness for these booms?  

  This airframe appears to be a stretched KR-1 fuselage with a KR-2 wing 
(307" total span).  I do not hold a set of KR-2 plans, have no idea as to the 
original spar dimensions.

The KR main spar caps for the center section are usually 2" thick (top to
bottom) and 2-5/32" wide with vertical spacer blocks every 7-9", faced with
3/32" plywood.  The whole thing is about 7.2" tall.  The outboard wings are
a quarter inch thinner at the root (so the wing attach fittings can nest),
and tapered towards the tip (down to about 1" wide front to back, about 5/8"
thick), and are faced by 3/32" thick plywood, along with spacer blocks every
5".

307" is about 25.5 feet, so I sure hope he's done his homework on this...

Does anyone realise that bob hoover is on the krnet? I'll look on my plans
as soon as I can get to the hangar, but you will probably get help from Mark
or others befor I can get back to the office tomorrow.
P.S. I have most of your VW sermons on the wall of my garage.
Thanks

Dear Wayne,

You may have me confused with the real Bob Hoover.  He's the world's best 
pilot.  I'm a part-time mechanic.   

All Robert's get Bobbed at birth; we really don't have much say in the 
matter.  But in the aviation world there's only one Bob Hoover and I ain't him, 
which is why I'm careful to sign my aviation-related messages as

Sorry I guess I just got all afire and jumped without looking close.But just
so you know I'm telling my wife that I talked to Bob Hoover today.
Thanks

Don't let him fool you with that modesty.  He's THE Bob Hoover in my book...
the guy that's done more for the total understanding of VW engines than any
other person on the internet.  His website used to make mine look like a
random collection of trivia!

Thanks for taking the time to educate us all...

The Bob Hoover that has helped me be a better partime mechanic, engine
builder and made my VWs get home when others didn't. Is THE REAL Bob Hoover
in my book. That other guy can sure fly too though.
Thanks
Wayne
P.S. I second the Thanks Mark L. extended!!!

Yes, that is true while there is only one Bob Hoover.  You are the R. S.
Hoover who has helped me along with thousands of others with advice, answers
to questions, and the right knowledge to make VW run as they should. Thanks
also for the T2 stuff.
