-mail posts from the Area 51 Skunk Works private
e-mail list that the contributors from around the world used to
communicate during the development of the new wing. There is little
need to try and second guess anything about this wing. Real documented
scientific test data exists.

Larry,
You are right on. Mark Lougheed did extensive CFD analysis of the wing
to come up with the optimum angle of attack and washout. The goal was
to be flying level at the higher cruise air speeds and to have as close
to the optimum elliptical lift distribution as possible to minimize drag.
Steve Eberhart
Mark is right. One of the things the original poster wasn't taking into
consideration is the pitching moment of the airfoil which tends to
rotate the wing down.

It is Friday after all, so Dana, Larry wants to know if you used a BLACK
powder gun to get those deer?
Steve Eberhart
RV-7A, the last parts kit shipped today. About another year to go. And
to be legit, I have played around with some KR parts.

Only built two three foot sections of KR wing

you are feeling, congratulations again.

Hi Bob, you too? My ride with Marty was one non-stop roller coaster
ride. He kept his hand about two inches over mine and kept dropping it
to stabilize the stick. That was my first KR ride. Not the way to gain

to Ashok, the 15% and 16% airfoils are well suited for
use in single airfoil wings. I don't remember any discussions about
using the 18% in any configuration other than as a root airfoil tapering
to a 15% at the tip.

Building an RV-7A but I still have the original AS504x wind
decisions on their own. My AME
is also in my local EAA chapter and goes the extra mile to work with
problem cases.
Just a story where I was very impressed with my AME and the FAA. How
often do you hear that!

Yeh, I have played around with things KR but now my hands are covered

The horiz. Stab. Langford has on his KR incorporates all of the
modifications you have described short of the Armorall dispenser. His
plane just keeps adding up flying hours. Don't know if it is proving
anything but it seems to be well mannered. He has engineering drawings
for all of the airfoils used on his plane.

The last time I talked to Mike Selig I told him that your plane just
looked right. That is the best compliment I can give itit just
looks right. Congratulations on a job well done. Will see you at the

Can't wait to hear how the stability is with the Mole horns on the

AS504x airfoils. The number is growing. So far, the airfoils are
performing exactly as predicted.

the standard RV metal prep practice:
1. Wash with Dawn dish washing detergent using a scotch brite pad to
scuff up the surface.
2. Thoroughly rinse with clear water.
3. Acid etch
4. Treat with alodine.
5. Prime with Napa self etching primer.
6. Paint with your paint of choice.

A lot of good stuff here.

Because KR is more a state of mind than it is an airplane and like minds
tend to find one another.
