Yes,I am the builder,owner,and pilot of KR-2 N455JS, who was found in a VERY dense woods outside of Mobile,Alabama,in 1986. Even though more than a dozen people saw me go down from nearby, they found me with an aircraft tracking my ELT. Even though my radio was not tuned to 121.5, I could hear

For another point of view, I tried the "hard shell" and found it so difficult to work with, that I will never do it again. I suggest you do a test to see if you can be successful with this method before you mess up your nicely sanded foam base. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on

I used the micro ballon method years ago on another project. You have to mix it to the consistancy of peanut butter as I recall and aslo as I recall I had some problems working it in such a way as to get it to stick.   I still have a bunch of it and as for the weight difference, I can not give

KR> ELT's? Yea or nay?

I have to agree. There were 8 people rescued in 5 incidents by aviation ELTs in 2009 according to NOAA/NTSB last year. They go off correctly 75% of the time, originally it was 25% for the first generation. A major part of the reason for going to 406Mhz is that each one has a identifier. They can

Let's put it this way, in my alum RV I installed the elt antenna inside the fuselage as I considered the thing to about as worthless as ti1s on a boar hog. Consider you go through the trees on the way down, it rips the antenna off, the plane ends up upside down, antenna stuck in the ground.

I wouldn't put anything on dry.  It leaves you open to air pockets under the finish which causes bubbles in the paint later on.  Peel ply works and helps remove excess resin. --- On Tue, 2/16/10, Dan Heath wrote: From: Dan Heath Subject: RE: KR>

Good Grief! Why is there all this inane discussion, about ELTs or any other regulations? It's such a simple procedure to e-mail the FAA. Geeez . . . . . . . . . An ELT, in my opinion, is the same type of 'insurance' as motorcycle helmets on road machines and shoulder

The ELT has to be a self activating type. These turn themselves on when a high enough g load is applied.(as in a crash or hard enough landing occurs) Here are some examples at Aircraft Spruce http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/av/elt.html Larry Howell

When I started "finishing" my KR Mark sent me this link. It is excellent and it works, at least read it because it does shoot down some of the old ideas of filling, sanding, filling, sanding...etc. You probably know this but I will go ahead and say it anyway. You are now at the most critical

I like peel ply. I know it works. If the micro does not wet out, then it will just flake off and you will not have accomplished anything. A quick test on a small piece should tell the tale. Not sure about the "lighter" either as peel ply actually sucks up excess resin, but I will bet we are

The last I heard on it is that if it is a 2 place plane, not 2 persons ever flying in it, but just 2 place, it had to have an ELT, but if it were a single place, it was not required. But you know the FAA. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics  See you at the 2010 - KR
