KR>Window under the passenger seat

I once flew a Piper Apache that had been modified for aerial surveys. The back seats had been removed and in place was one small seat for the camera operator. There was a large hole in the floor about 18" diameter with a glass cover. In flight the cover was removed and the camera inserted into the

KR>Visit with Dan

Just returned home after a 5 day vacation. This afternoon I found myself in the vicinity of Columbia SC so I made an impromptu visit with Dan Heath. I visited with Dan for about 2 hours and I drooled all over his KR, especially the canopy. Dan and Jerry have done themselves proud with their KR.

KR>Control tubes

Steve I used a control tube system for my elevator control and experimented with a control tube system for ailerons/ flaperon but scraped the ideal because of the time, weight and expense involved. Went back to the cable system for ailerons. Go to http://www.jackandsandycooper.com/kr2.html and

KR>Canopy Hinges

Mark Lankford Do you still have the CAD file of your canopy hinges? Can they be plotted on graph paper? I don't have a CAD program and I am CAD illiterate. Robert J. (Jack) Cooper kr2coo...@earthlink.net Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.

KR>Change of address

Dear friends Please note a change of email address. My new email address is kr2coo...@earthlink.net Jack Cooper mailto:kr2coo...@msn.com http://www.jackandsandycooper.com/kr2 Fayetteville, NC.

KR>How do I do that - What would Langford do.

Dan - Dana doesn't have to think about what size bolts or what kind of bracket to make or where to put it, it is already figured out and all the brackets and bolts and other stuff are ready for him to buy. Mark - One of the things I do at work (and at home, on KRnet) is spend a lot of my time

KR>Appoligies

If I offended anyone, especially Mark or Dana with my remark about Dana finishing his airplane before Mark, I sincerely apologize. I have nothing but the highest regard for Dana and Mark both as gentlemen and craftsmen. My comment was made in jest and was not meant to offend. Jack Cooper

KR>Subaru Power

I was impressed with the Subaru when I first considered building a KR. About that time I acquired my mothers car which was a Subaru. From what I had heard the Soob had to rum at approximately 5000 RPM to develop its rated power and torque. I don't think I ever ran my Soob at 5000 RPM. I

KR> Wing Skin / Wing Tanks Questions

Phil My wings are from Gene Byrds crashed KR so I cant answer most of your questions. As for the sender question, I got mine from J.C. Whitney. I removed most of the mounting hardware and mounted it to a lastafoam sandwich and floxed it to the fwd. spar side of the tank it in the lowest part.

KR>vinylester resin

Marks point about being ready to use it when you buy it is very important. I have bought 2 gallons and have used maybe 1/2 gal. total. Now I need more. I tried to revive the hardened resin by heating but it did not work. Does anyone know a source for vinylester resin other than A/C Spruce or a

KR>FYI

I went to Harbor Freight a few days ago to get some large diamoter drill bitts. I also bought a 9.6 Volt cordless drill with a keyless chuck for $10. That night I was working on break pedals. I was drilling with one drill, countersinking with another and using another for a screwdriver. I am

KR>dual sticks...finished!

I wonder how many KRs have their elevators "biased" by the aileron cables, and are trimmed out to compensate? I'll bet this is a major reason why some KRs are fast, and others are "not so fast"... Mark, Can you explain the above remark further? Also I was looking at this page a few days ago as

KR>Wood Question

Justin You can get aircraft quality birch plywood from A/C Spruce or Wicks or any other supplier. It is cheaper and heavier than Mahogany and I have used it. I would not attempt to cut corners on plywood even on my tight budget. Jack Cooper mailto:kr2coo...@msn.com

KR>Foam question

Alex I have used construction styrofoam on rebuilding my wings. I'm not sure if this is the same type of styrofoam you are refering to but it works for me. With styrofoam use only epoxy resin because styrofoam is not compatable with other resins. Vinylester resin will disolve the styrofoam. Ken

The Festival of Flight in Fayetteville, NC. is one of the largest celebrations of 100 years of powered flight in the country. There is a 6 hour general aviation (Barnstorming at its Best) airshow on the 18 of May, and a two day military airshow at Pope AFB on the 24 and 25. There are also many

KR>KR sale and libality

Most of us work a lifetime to retire in dignity and worry that a law suit could wipe us out financially. Most KR builders are not rich but I'm sure that some have a net worth that would attract an attorneys attention. I wonder if there is a net worth that is a cutoff to an attorney. Must you be

KR>Be Repaired

KR netters I'm back. I left the net about two weeks ago for surgery and the list crashes. I'm still undergoing Physical therapy for replacement of my right hip but already I feel much better, no pain and much more mobility in the leg. Of course at this point I'm still not full weight bearing
