KR>Vacuum

Has anyone tried to use a Chevy belt driven vacuum pump ? They are readily available, reliable and reasonably compact. They were used on the Chevy pickups with the 6.2 litter diesel engines. I put well over a 100K miles on one with no problems. They could be belt driven or a coupler could

KR> PPL Written test

Well I have made a benchmark today. I took my PPL written test and passed with a 97%. Two questions missed..one on ADF..(no biggie) and another on SVFR. I added a 1000 foot ceiling to the requirement in class C airspace. I had it right to begin with and second guessed myself, but I am VERY

KR> APRS/SLOWER LANDING SPEED

Too bad we have to worry about even having ELTs. If we can concentrate on developing our aircraft with slower, more survivable landing speeds, then the correct radio could be used once on the ground to contact the ham guys to come and get us. We may have to give up some top speed to have a lot

Lets not forget also that there are 2 meter (VHF) and 70cm (UHF) ham radio repeaters all over the world, and the same transceiver used for APRS can be used to send a MAYDAY call also. All it takes is adding repeater frequencies along the route of your flight plan. I program them into my 40

KR>Vacuum

Glenn, My dad's old KR-2S started out using a venturi that was mounted on the bottom of the fuse between the main gear to drive the attitude indicator and the DG. It worked, but only barley put out enough vac to get the AI to indicate right after about 10 min of flight time. This is

KR> Mending a wing tank leak

I wrote a week ago about my wheel bearing adjustment problem, Well I also had a fuel smell in the cabin, and when I checked it out, I found a small leak in the R outer wing tank, it was weeping into the WAF area, thus the fumes leaked into the cabin via the inner wing. I borrowed a 5 inch

Phil Did the gusset cut into the aileron spar? Peter - No Peter./ Gusset , but I think I trimmed a small section from the 1/4" spruce that the hinges attaches to. I will be flying in the morning, I will try and take a photo. Remember to ask me how I mended a leak in my R glass

I'm not much of an expert on that but mine are 1/8" aluminium Larry. -- Hi guys, my 2 cents worth. I made my bracket from T6 flat. I bent it to the correct angle, as close to rear spar as possible. I welded a gusset on the underside,( so it looks like a "T" section. very
