Personally, I think "Trust but Verify" is an oxymoron. As in, "I really
trust you", but "I am not sure you told me the truth". Not KR related
unless you are talking about not trusting that your engine in your KR is
always going to perform as it told you it was.
See N64KR at
We are reminded that we must trust, ...but verify. Peter
. . . just pointing out that someengines, especially the sometimes
overly-sensitive immigrant ones, willbehave better if they feel they are
trusted and not given the thirddegree every time we go somewhere with them.

My KR and several other aircraft I own have the wire hinges for the cowl
and I have never had an issue. Take a look at how Van's does theirs. It
makes for a nice clean look and a better looking fit on the cowl.

...the reason way I plan to install VG's on my Kr is to prevent loosing aileron
effectivety in some worse flying situations. For example,when you must handle
a forced landing after an enginefailure,or you approaching a short airfield
with a small pattern.I think it's always an adventure to
I'll put that on the list.

Hi everyone,
On the subject cowl hinging, it doesn't take any longer to remove three wires
then it takes to remove a dozen or so screws. Maybe at our next gathering a
contest is in order. Well I better get back to work so I can get it in the air.
The only thing only thing I lack is finishing
About 30 years ago, I flew Fly Baby from Minnesota to Florida. The cowl
had a hinge and wire set-up and the wire was not secured at either end.
Twice after landing, I had someone ask me what type of tach I was using. The
wire would work out about 5 or 6" after about three hours flying and
I installed VGs on my SuperCub. My testing didn't show much of an impact on
stall speed, so much as it made a big improvement in aileron response at slow
speed. However, a small impact on the stall speed may be all you need to make
Light Sport numbers in a KR. VGs also have an impact on top

I will do that on my Kr in the area of the alerons toward the wingtips and
probably on the bottom of the HS.

I seem to recall an article in Sport Aviation many years ago about a
Midget Mustang builder who attached the cheek cowls with piano hinges.
When installing the wires, he would lube them with something which I
have forgotten and spin them slowly with a drill while running them in,
reporting no
Most times it is the "pilot" who is not operating the engine properly is the
one that causes the problem. All engines need to be looked at regularly.
I've had Cont/Lyc people switching to 2 stroke powered airplanes who have no
idea how to run one and apparently don't care to learn first. None

Thank you Mike. You make a great straight man.
