KR> Keeping it outside?

> consider purchasing an enclosed trailer for your plane. A thing that has passed through my mind is that sometimes, particularly now, an older motor home can be a lot cheaper than an enclosed trailer. I was looking at some that showed promise. You could gut the interior, build a back door, and

KR> Keeping it outside?

That is a very nice trailer and ideal for ground transport of the plane. But I have to ask, with the plane stored sans wings, how often do you put the wings on and fly the plane? I suspect not much, which is kind of the problem with storing the plane in a trailer. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM

KR> Keeping it outside?

Hi Guys; This was my solution since I cannot find an exceptable hanger yet. Yeah it was pricey but O'l Blue is worth it and it doesn't take up garage space. http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo106/flightsimmer_2009/P1010007.jpg ?Regards, Myron (Dan) Freeman Indpls, Ind.

Hello Mark Langford, You made me bust up laughing with your " Mark Jones is now flying that prop, presumably on the hunt for more deer." Your going to give Jones a complex if your not careful!!! He just got back in the air and life is good, but I can still remember the deer hair

> Have I done my maths correctly?? I don't know about your math, but my KR will do 193 mph TAS at 1700' turning about 3630 rpm with a Sensenich 54x58 prop. KRs are famous for "breaking the curve" on what passes for prop efficiency. I've done 191 mph with a Sensenich 54x54 turning 4000 rpm,

I think the cabin and prop covers are essential,,canopies tend to leak a little...it would be good if you could also wrap your engine cowl---it snows sideways here too. Otherwise - with fixed aluminum gear, your sbiggest enemy will be wind.  I don't remember if the plans call for it, but

KR> 193 mph!

Have I done my maths correctly?? 54 inch pitch X 4,000 rpm = 216000 inches travelled per minute 216000 inches X 60 min = 1296 inches travelled per hour Divide by 63360 inches in a mile = 204.5 mph 10 % prop slip should be a possible 184.05 mph 58 inch X 3400 X 60 ~ 63360 = 186.74 mph
