KR> engine progress

[Larry Flesner via KRnet]

I've spent the last several days cleaning and painting engine 
parts.  Progress, one piece at a time. I hope to be flying by March 1 
or I'll be out of money. :-(

Re: KR> AIRCRAFT INSPECTIONS

[Sid Wood via KRnet]

Before my KR-2 airworthiness inspection, I had an A do a "practice" 
inspection.  He found a few minor things and I fixed these before he left. 
He never charged me anything.  He just wanted to crawl around a KR-2 for a 
nostalgia trip.  He had built a KR-2 some years ago.
I used the Washington FSDO for my KR-2 airworthiness inspection; actually 
two FSDO inspectors showed up to do the inspection.  They each wanted to do 
the inspection because they had never seen a KR-2 until I sent them the 
three-view pictures.
The DAR happens to be a member of our EAA Chapter.  He charges $500 per 
visit and goes all over the East coast.  He tells me what invariably happens 
is: He finds stuff that the builder has to correct.  So, he has to return 
weeks later for another inspection and finds stuff needing correction that 
the builder screwed up since his last visit.  That needs fixing, so then he 
has to come back a third time.  He complains "Haven't these guys ever heard 
about 41.13 or Tony Bengalis?"

Sid, are you saying your DAR usually charges $1,500.00 for a sign off?
If so, he seems like he is taking advantage of you guys!!
Larry H


Our EAA Chapter has a member who is also a DAR.  He charges $500 per 
inspection visit and usually takes 3 visits.

Finally the Rt.aileron is made. The counter wieght came out really well. 
?Once I got the lead melted I poured it into a wooden box that I made in 
about 2 minutes with my brad nailer. This weight was a little lite. ?So made 
it a little wider and it came out perfect.?

My DAR found a couple of very minor items like a placard on the 
external canopy latch and the like.  He made a note in my log, as I 
recall, had me correct them, make a log entry of such, and send him a 
copy of the log page.  In was noted on the inspection that I was good 
to go after correction and log entry.  Your results may vary..

Re: KR> In-flight Fire

[Tinyauto--- via KRnet]

Well that is scary!  Lucky he didn't get to pattern altitude and then  
break out in flames.  Looks like the only thing salvageable would be the  
engine.  Thank goodness the guy will survive!

Re: KR> In-flight Fire

[Randy Smith via KRnet]

Tripacer has fuel in wings.  That was an electrical fire. 95% of in flight 
fires are not survivable whether fuel is in the header or wing. I carry a small 
hellion fire extinguisher up front. I had a DME smoke a couple of weeks ago and 
my wife had the fire extinguisher out before I realized it. She pulled the pin 
before I stopped her.

That hits close to home having put 500 hours on the old TriPacer I 
had and reaffirms my decision to eliminate a header tank and put all 
fuel in the outboard wing tanks.

I wish your friend a speedy recovery.

It may have been electrical but what had the 
outcome been if there was a 16 gallon 
"fiberglass" tank behind the panel.  And in the 
case of a roll over / crash where airframes break 
in to pieces I don't want a fuel tank in close 
proximity or100LL soaking my cloths.  Seems like 
a very sudden and intense fire to injure the 
pilot as it did.  I hope they can figure out what 
happened and if they do, Sid, keep us posted.


In flight fires may be seldom survived but I hope 
to have improved my chances in a crash.  We each have our own comfort level.

Glad the pilot survived & hope he recovers fully and quickly. That's
