KR> fibre frax

[Gary Hinkle]

Since when have chutes been mandatory? ?I got my Commercial Glider rating in 
the 80s and never heard of that.

Ask around amongst glider pilots which chute they would recommend for 
comfort. Chutes are mandatory for flying gliders. If you can find a few 
glider pilots close to your size, ask if you can try on their chutes to 
see how mobile you can be while wearing it.

Chute can stay in the plane and is just another set of belts holding you into 
your seat. PETER

like I said  "make fun of me all u want..."

but the chute is a couple extra inches on my back and will be the rear cushion, 
planning on moving the seat back rearward the 2 inches I need. In fact, the 
thing fiberglass seat in my avid was so comfortable, I once flew for almost 12 
hours (2 quick fuel turns) with zero soreness. I saved that seat and plan to 
use it in the avid. moved rearward with only the bottom upholstery, unless the 
geometry wont work.  there was also almost no legroom in the avid, you fly with 
knees bent, which was also not a problem.
not to mention lets face it, climbing out of a single place with chute on has a 
certain coolness factor. at my increasing age I can use all of that I can get!
at this point of course this is all talk. the avid is not fully sold yet and on 
the the kr project, I have only bought the plans from nvaero so far. hoping to 
go forward and accumulate skins, canopy, etc etc nd of course the wood fairly 
soon.

Try putting a chute on and getting in the plane. You won't have room to fart. 
And if you did gas, you would pass out before you could get out of the plane.

I'm sure it will slow things down, but wouldnt an engine fire eventually (and 
quickly) burn around the edges and catch the wood behind the firewall that way?
make fun of me all u want but my KR1 will have a BRS and I wear a personal 
chute that way I can save the plane if possible, myself if necessary

I used a "paint on" coating from AS.  It is supposed to actually extinguish the 
fire as it tries to burn the wood.  Don't know how well it works and thank God 
that I never had to find out.  Of course, that is with stainless over the wood 
as well.

I would use the 1/16 that will be plenty. .if you use anything thicker it will 
cause stainless steel firewall metal to distort a lot more.
