KR> Composite KR

Hi Charles,   Morphing a Dragonfly toward a KR2 is also what I have in mind.I haven't decided on a header tank but I would have hollow wings with fuel-tanks in the inboard leading edge.   The LongEz and Cozy have fuel-tanks in the strakes and use a different foam in that area which doesn't

KR> Wing tanks/Fred Keller

My first KR had 12.5 gallon tanks per side plus a 12 gallon header. With the Revmaster and Maloof CS prop I had 1200 SM range with reserves. I remember filling all the tanks and taking off without problem - with just me in it. It was the "standard" KR and was really only suitable for one person

Hi Larry, Do you have any photos of your tank? Gods Speed, J.E. Caudle Fenwick, WV 363TB (On the Bench) <> My tanks are in the outboard wing panels only, 12.5 gallon in each wing and no header tank. <>

Larry Do you have any pictures of your tanks installed?  I like the idea and think others would like to see them too.  Didn't see any on your webpage.  Thanks Craig www.kr2seafury.com --- On Mon, 10/25/10, Larry Flesner wrote: From: Larry Flesner

If you copy and paste the link below it will take you to a page that we scanned from the Omaha World Herald this past Sunday. Photo is of a Red Flyer that Fred Keller of Alaska built, I presume for a Grandson/Daughter. Fred built on of the original KR-1's in the early 70's and trailered it

KR> Outboard fuel tanks

Watching this discussion of fuel tanks closely. I have built a Dragonfly (hasn't flown yet) and found the construction technique to be fast and easy (you have to be fast when applying epoxy). However, I want to start over with a conventional design that fits the requirements of E-LSA. I

Robert, I'm planning on using the one peice spar as well. I can't seen to get the link to your webpage going. Can I have the address to your build log/ website. Thanks, Curry > > Congrats.. one of the nicest builder logs that I've seen so many good > ideas and good picts..

Hello All, Just wanted to toss in my most recent experience and the value that I got out of it.  I know some of you guys out there (it feels like most of you) are experienced mechanics, fiberglass repairmen or aviation engineers.  For people like me who are real estate guys it has been a big

Yes Paul. I believe my old 1970's plans has an alternative engine installation print that has a drive pulley on the flywheel turning a slick magneto. My brother-in-law put an alternator in place of the mag. This was done in the rear tho. - Original Message - From:

Yes, why not put it on the market? Can it be calibrated? Do you have pics and plans for it? I don't need it, but every KR builder out there could use something simple and in-expensive. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics  See you at the 2011 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon,

KR> outboard wing tanks

Craig, yes they have. Search the archives. Spin recovery with the extra weight on the tips versus rudder effectiveness, aileron effectiveness in lifting the tip at low airspeeds and fuel lift from the lower tank in an unbalanced steep turn are two issues to think hard about. Also if you drop a
