KR> Throttle cable update

I had a vernier (sp) throttle cable get stuck like that on my Mooney once. Later was able to spray LPS directly on the outside of the whole cable, the oil penetrated right through it, the cable that is. The cable was like new again. I had no idea that would work until a mechanic friend told me

Thanks for all the methods posted. I'll have to try some of them and see if they are any easier than just using the old wind triangle method my dad taught me back in the sixties, but which requires an accurate Airspeed Indicator to calculate winds (or if I had an accurate wind speed I could

No, Joe, you are the only one who screws up. The rest of us are not capable of all those screw-ups. But, if we were, I am not sure how many of us would live to tell about it. I would be pointing at the Carb, rather than the cable. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics  See

Hi Netters, Thanks Patrick and Robin for your input.A netter calculated the load on a typical KR dive brake as about 130 lbs,deployed.I tried my brake at 2600 rpm static and while the lever pull was firm it was quite comfortable,and gave me a ball park idea of what to expect. Best Regards,

I've seen reference to using GPS to verify cruise speeds before, and this seems like a great way to get an accurate ground speed, which is a great starting place for calculating airspeed if the actual wind speed and direction is known. Can someone walk me through how to get accurate wind

Joe said, am I the only one to screw up so much or am I the only one that admits it? Joe Horton, Coopersburg, Pa.rous Just look at so many of my posts and you will see I screw up as much or more than you. Remember, I was the one limping around on crutches with a broken foot at the

KR> Throttle cable update

Dave, I did not have any good indication that something was going wrong with the throttle. The clues in hind sight was the first go around that it would not go to low idle more like 1200 rpm and it went to full throttle fine for go around. The next try I shut it down on roll out and restarted a

6399U ( KR2S ) has been flying now for 10 years, the first 2 wo the belly board. All I can say is the difference is remarkable, if I need to I can get down on an 1800' runway I can, and wo I used up at least another 500' minimum. With the KR it's all about killing the float. I tried brakes with

Robin I layed up the whole top and then the whole bottom with a 2" overlap at the leading edge (where its needed). I then propped the wing up on the trailing edge and the laid up the second layer forward of the main spar in one piece. Each to his own... Peter Drake - Original Message

KR> Cruise Speed/Dive Brakes

I've always assumed cruise speed meant, for a normally aspirated engine, full throttle at 7-8 thousand feet. * My belly board has holes. It came that way. A long time ago I was wondering if it would be more effective if I filled in the holes and so did some research regarding why WWII
