KR> Wing Cargo Wells?

I was an instructor for US Light Sport the original importer of the Sport Cruiser the day they first brought the first one to the US. The wing lockers as they are called are a great idea although they do leek and need to have drain holes in the bottoms. They make a lot of sense and are very

KR> Re: Cad program for RAF-48

Russell, I don't think you got my first response but on the ribs. When you fit the ribs you will cut them up to fit the skins. It won't be anywhere near the drawing anyway. You will take off about 3/8 inch in most places. This will be done by fitting so it's not anything that you could

KR> Learning to fly... in a KR?

Rich, As a CFII for 28 years now I may be able to shed some light on this. First off all experience is good experience. Over the years I have soloed a few students in experimental aircraft that were students and not private pilots. There's nothing illegal about it. It takes more time to do

KR> Inline powered KR's

I flew a Sport Cruiser for several years and it had a Rotax 912 in it and it turned 6300 in cruise. It was the best engine that I have ever flown behind in more than 17,000 hours. I am putting an O-200 on my KR simply because I have it but you may find that this modification of a Honda will do

KR> Add-on Lighting

Jim, Make a long drill that will go from the roof rib to the tip rib big enough to push a piece of 3/4 PVC pipe through. Flox that in place and fish your wires through. It's a piece of cake. Call if you have questions. Victor Taylor Irvington Alabama. 251-377-5216 Sent from my iPhone On Nov

KR> Tip tanks

I have about 500 hours in Cessna 421's and 414's as well as a lot of time in 310's. In all of these there is a fuel pump in the aft end of the tank that moves fuel from the front to the back of the tank where the pickups are. These pumps run all the time. These are the main tanks on all of

KR> stub wing baggage compartment

The Sport Cruiser I was instructing in had them on both sides. Great idea if between the spars. Make sure it has a small drain hole in the aft bottom Because in the Sport Cruiser in rain they would fill up with water. Victor Sent from my iPhone On Aug 1, 2011, at 5:44 PM, Donald Greer

KR> Progress Report Victor Taylor

Hello KR Addicts, I just removed the right aileron for final finishing and balance. It's getting there. Unfortunately I have to head back to work tonight unexpectedly so it's not going to get the progress that I had hoped for this time. One part at a time is still progress. Victor Irvington,

KR> BACK SEAT ON KR

KR's are a small airplane and thus have a narrow CG range. However even if the CG could be corrected having good egress in the event of an off airport landing would be questionable, especially if it came to rest upside down. I personally would not recommend it. Victor Taylor Irvington Alabama.

KR> Re: Removable Turtle Deck

My velocity has a removable hatch over the canard that would otherwise leak. Since it isn't removed often a thin line of silicone is put on it to seal it each time. That solution would make a lot of sense with the turtle deck since it would not be something that you would open very often.

KR> Ailerons

My plans were lost during Hurricane Katrina but the plane is moving right along. Can anyone tell me the size of the gap between the bottom of the aileron and the lower wing skin? 1/2" 3/4" etc ? Also what is the maximum degree of down aileron? Thanks in advance for your help. Victor Taylor

Hello Phil, I once had a conversation with an early KR pilot that personally knew Ken Rand. He said that he did a full power stall in his KR at 9000 feet. He said it took more than 8000 feet to recover. It was so bad he said he had already decided that he was going to die but tried one more

KR> Heat in the cockpit

After reading Mark Langfords post I must respectfully dissagree. The only heat you will find on a Velocity is from the oil cooler. Given that the exhaust is much hotter the real deal is that the air coming into the cabin is still about the same, "hot". I have flown in well below zero temps at
