Hi Dan.
Are you going to install an electric contact/reaker switch on the flap
screwjack?
Will you install a download spring to keep the spoilers down during slow
flight?

Hi Bill.
I took a pair of the springs and tested them for flex. They would have been
a bit soft, but quite doable with some additional wrapping.
I wrote of the efforts some years ago, along with concerns for converting
the springs to gear legs. You'll have to search the archives.

I haven't read all the posts about the dual stick assembly so this may have
been mentioned...
Have you thought about installing a single, center stick and putting a 'T'
or 'Y' on top?
The Zeniths have this and apparently there is almost no time required to
adapt to it.
A thought.

Since I posted yesterday about surface coating with epoxy I have been
reminded that there are products on the market that are designed for this
purpose. International Paints 'Everdure', and Smith's 'Clear Penetrating
Epoxy Sealer' are two. These products are designed for coating without
For what it's worth, epoxy and wood could not be further from being good
bedmates when coating wood with a thin layer of epoxy with no cloth. Wood
is indifferent to temperature changes but changes volume due to changes in
humidity. Epoxy is indifferent to humidity but happily changes hardness
.
Where did you buy the aircraft John? I know of one fellow in Michigan who's
selling his.
Thanks.

I need to add to my previous email of a moment ago regarding Falconar Avia.
I've just spent a few minutes perusing their website. They are still
offering the wood float plans.
And, Chris Falconar is also still involved with the business. He's a HUGE!

cured, the portion or edge of the block that is standing proud is easily
sanded down flush with the surrounding material.

I don't have any photos of the arrangement, only autocad drawings. It's a
simple arrangement. A hinge point is located beneath and just aft of the

One thing I've not seen mentioned in the discussion about polyurethane glues
is the fact that they produce a 'flexible' joint.
If you take two thin pieces of wood and glue them together with epoxy the

Hi John.
Hi tried emailing you direct, my note bounced back so I'm sending this to
you via the KRNet.
I'm in Kenora, Ontario and have a KR-2S that's stretched, widened, and
deepened. I have two Corvair RH engines that I intend to use.
You can email me direct at the addy below.

Hi Chris.
I suggest you look at the 'MDRA Inspection Services' website. If the info
you're looking for is not there then there will be a link to where you will
find it.

Hi Dana.
Good move deciding on using a wankel. Your description of them being
'bullet proof' is absolute! And 180 hp topsnaturally asperated in somethng
the size of a large breadbox IS impressive!
I got into the rotary about 6 years ago, bought and rebuilt one, and am
amazed that there are not
or Morse cables.
Dial into the net and look for 'Teleflex' or 'Morse' Controls and you will
find the technical info. I think it's the 44C cable that I will be using.
It has the 1/4" diameter ends with the bulkhead fittings.
Hope this helps Russ.

Hi Gavin.
Definetly clean up excess glue before it sets up. If you wait till it cures
and then chip if off, it's not only a lot of hard work, messy when you're
finished, and you run the risk of shattering the joint!
As for your spar, laminate it up in 1/4" sections or so. 1" thick laminates
