KR> First flight of the year

2015-01-01 Thread John Bouyea

Well, since Mark Jones didn't pipe up with "first flight of the year" news, I guess I should take up his slack. I flew 1.8 hours today, doing 10 landings at three airports. N891JF has been down a few weeks, as I had to send my iEFIS and iBox back to MGL for some maintenance. I still haven't

No Dan they are not fiberglass, some kind of poly that has been roto molded I think? most like other ultralight tanks? I will investigate the Pro-seal to see the specs?. as you guys have used it successfully I have no doubts?. I will attempt to obtain the specs on the tanks and then return?

Jeff, Have you used Proseal on fiberglass tanks? I was going to suggest that, but did not know how well it worked with Plastic or fiberglass. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics 2015 KR Gathering - McMinnville, OR. September 3 - 6 -- See

Joe, By plastic, do you mean fiberglass? The fittings in the fiberglass tank in the KR are secured in place with a flox resin mixture. Use Vinyl Ester resin and you should never have a problem with it. My Panther Building Documentation at PantherBuilder Web

Vulcan's are made of chunky aluminium. Its designed to handle all the stress. And at the speeds they fly the aerodynamics is different. Solid belly boards for krs would work fine. Those with holes are way more efficient though. You are the chief aerodynamicist! Take your pick! On Jan 1, 2015 1:3

Mike - Perhaps you can explain why in the report the term, "/normal to the airflow/" rather 'than parallel with', or 'perpendicular to' the airflow is used. Is that a common reference in the UK? It just seems a little nebulous to me in understanding immediately upon reading the report, and i
