are limited. If I repair and modify this engine mount, what
material should I use and If replacing it, is there a proprietary mount that
suits the Suby / KR2 (narrow mounts) combination .
Cheers and a belated happy new year to everyone .

I have what I believe to be Deihl legs on my KR2 and two months ago had a
landing mishap which appears to have been caused by the two lower bolts of
the four ΒΌ bolts that attach the axle stub to the undercarriage leg having
their nuts stripped off and the top two bending severely. (This was the
will move one to the other causing
wear to the bolt holes and the bolts .
I am thinking of applying Loctite "wick in" to the WAF blades after assembly
to increase the friction and so improve my safety margins

of the bolt.
Today I purchased new bolts 1/8 inch longer, and yes, I will need an extra
washer or two, but the bolt is a MUCH neater fit in the hole than the old
one . gunna do a trial refit of the wing tomorrow wish me luck!

.. I would recommend that every KR owner should loosen
the WAFs annually and check / measure any wing tip movement. This will
indicate the presence of wear and enable the owner to monitor its progress.
Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated ...

" An additional step might be to place a very thin plastic like "Glad cling
wrap or equivalent" or other no stick cover on the bottom half to have the
silicone form a seal without binding."
A smear of oil or grease on one side only will also do the trick with no
risk of wrinkles .. done that
over time?

is the tangent of the AoA .
By the way, from that, if you know your stall speed, you can guess your
touchdown speed in a three pointer ... its stall speed x sqr root(stall
speed coefficient of lift / touch down Coefficient of lift) ..

considerably more worn than the left. These
facts seem to indicate that I am likely to need a fair bit of right rudder
work on my first flight in a few weeks time and I wondered if it was easy to
measure and perhaps adjust the offset a little?

I squeegee thru the peel ply but make sure that the area outside is
well masked off as the otherwise you will end up with a lot of sanding to
do! I used two widths of 50mm duct tape for this

a hole saw or similar to cut out the fractured skin, glue in a plug of

sure about the bottom of the rudder .

Hi Craig
I just made a new panel for one I am refurbishing. I used 6mm birch 7 ply.
Expensive, but easy to cut with a hole cutter fitted into a hand held drill
and looks gorgeous after a Baltic Pine tinted varnish finish .
Oh and I nearly forgot to say that the new wood panel with
I have two Kr2 a/c in my garage, recently imported from Canada, one for me
and one for one of my good flying friends.
Doing a W & B I found both to be very similar in weight. A/c #1 (neither yet
have an Au rego) appears to be in good balance and has a small tail down
force when empty in the
.
