KR> Snapped Longeron

Hi Nick, being about at the same stage you're at in my building I can imagine how you must feel. I'm not an engineer, but if this happens to me I would probably be prone to try and repair it. Ed is right, a picture would be helpful. I feel bad for your mishap. Russ - Original Message -

Not a big deal Nick. Just cut another verticle and glue it in behind the scarf joint. Russ - Original Message - From: "Nick Brennan" To: "KRnet" Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2007 10:11 PM Subject: KR> Scarf question > Well, it appears I may have

KR> Repair to a Longeron

Tough break Allen, I haven't bent mine yet. So, my heart goes out to you in this. If your'e going to swap ends, that means taking apart all your glued up joints, (that sounds horrible). The repair should be stronger than the original wood. I would probably just try and repair the break, and then

KR> Plans question

I'm at the same place you are Nick. I took it to leave off the last verticle before the long piece that goes to the top of the vertical stabilizer. I could be wrong; I'll read more about it this weekend. I finished the second side this last weekend, Yay! I'm tired of the gussets! Russ

KR> forming boat, glueing on plywood

Hi Everyone, I'm kicking around whether to glue the plywood on before or after forming the boat? The plans recommend before. I guess I'm afraid of breaking a longeron in the bending process. Russ http://home.bendbroadband.com/russkr2s

KR> Plans question

Hi Nick, I'm at the same place your at; and I've been scratching my head abit also. I've left the verticle at N out, and left myself about 8" extra on the length of the longerons, (since I'm extending the length aft 6"). I wanted a little extra to play with. I noted on Ricky Farleys webpage he

KR> sanding joints?

Hi everyone, I've searched the archives on the topic of roughing up/preping joints prior to glueing with T-88. I recieved some input that this practice was not recommended. I used resin bond sandpaper to roughen the joints. Any new feelings on this? I glued up a couple of test joints, and

Lots of airplanes have been built using Douglas Fir. It's a little heavier, but also stronger than spruce. Russ - Original Message - From: "Darren Crompton" To: Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 2:37 AM Subject: KR> Spruce vs Douglas Fir > I am

KR> Waiting for the plans...

oking at the plans. To go with Wicks or A.S.S. co is a personal decision. I'm not much of a kit kind of guys, so I prefer to buy the stuff as I need it. I'm not in a big hurry for the WAFs yet, as just getting the boat built is my first priority. I wish you the best of luck, and a good build.

of the spars to each other. It seems to me one would want enough play between the slot in the fuselage and the spars to enable tilting the wing to set the incidence? Russ Kendall
