Had a nice flight this morning to breakfast in Pagosa Springs, CO roughly 100
nm north from Los Alamos. Flew there along with a 200 hp RV-8, a 180 hp RV-7,
a 160 HP RV-6, a Cirrus SR-20 and a Tri-Pacer. By comparison, my O-200 powered
KR is a couple of knots faster than the Cirrus SR-20,
For $5000 wouldnt it be cheaper to just hit whatever's at the end of the runway?

I worry about the loss of continuity in the upper skin to make space for the
scissors where the fibreglass attachment to the spar is critical.

Why would you do something like this? ?When flaps and bellyboards work just

HaHaHaHa! Good one - Maybe with a KR but probably not with a Mooney...

belly by the tailwheel. Twelve minutes of video was cut to three.
Enjoy..."
Awesome video Larry! It is amazing how much your belly barn door affects the
wind noise when it is first deployed. With the
Kr friends,
I have maybey a stupid question.
We are almost at the point that we will start with the engine mount. So I have
heard that there is a possability to calculate the distance. So this I will all
understand. I want to do 1 weight And ballance sesion (2 pax, 1 pax, full fuel,
low fuel).
Weight and balance is simply a summation of weights and moments. If you
know the weight and centroid of the wings then you can certainly do a good
calculation without them. On the e-3 they often do the final weighing
without seats, paint, and other things. Those are added back later.
Hi All
I have just got a sheet of 0.5mm Titanium for my firewall.
Has anyone got any tips on how best to attach it to the ply bulkhead.

Hello Peter,
I used stainless steel truss head sheet metal screws around the perimeter. Both
sides have the traditional piano hinge and the top has the full width (radius)
angle for the forward cowling so the only place I
Hi Peter..I have a box full of 1/8th monel b/h tucker popsI've
been trying to give them away as we are downsizing and need the space!
If you know anyone who could use them they're welcome

Weight and balance CG,center of gravity, is a sum of the moments[arm x
weight]of each piece divided by the sum of the weight of each piece

Someone had to do those first. I like the idea. I have an idea how it could be
done. Maybe I will play with it a bit.

Does anyone know of a KR-1/Corvair that has flown?
I have a KR-1/VW1835cc that I fly as my daily flyer.
I am considering upgrading to a Corvair 3000cc since this is the
lightest version in the Corvair line.
Has anyone flown a KR-1/Corvair combo?

Yes, and look at the big HOLES in those things. :-)

My 3000 cc will weigh about 225 lbs. I don't know what your 1835 cc weighs.

Hi Craig,
I think they're a great idea. This is the fun of experimental airplanes, to
EXPERIMENT.. I found on my Moni that they don't have to be very long or very
high above the wing to work well. Obviously, correct placement on the wing
would be the important thing.
Look forward to seeing
I agree these are learning platforms. As to the effect, I think of how minimal
stall strips are and yet they have a major effect. BTW, the F4U Corsair,
arguably the best piston fighter ever made, had a dangerous tendency to
snap-stall the right wing under a couple different conditions during
I would make a spoiler very much like a belly board. ?Lay the spoiler flat
against the wing, hinged to the wing, use some sort of actuator arm to extend
it.?
I feel that I should make some comment about the holes in the spoilers but I
believe that we have had that discussion.?

I saw that someone put a turboprop on one. I don't know if it ever flew. ?Maybe
someone does.

I don't know of one, but Richard Shirley has a 3300 Jabiru on his KR-1,
which is essentially the same power, but lighter. Some weight in the
tail would be required, and the wing loading would be high, and landing

Look at the krnet. Lynn Hyder put an o235 on his modified kr2. I saw it a few
months ago at his daughters house in SW Portland. Wings were sawed off. He was
trying to sell the engine.
