2010-10-24 Thread Craig Williams
Still thinking about fuel tanks.  I have seen at least 3 KR's in South Africa with tip tanks.  It's a thought but I was looking at my RAF48 skins and wondered if anyone has used the wing outboard of the spars to create an internal tank.  My rough calc puts the volume at 10 gallons. Craig www.kr

I would like to cut the main bar and use it for the diehl length of fiberglass springs. I would buy the mounting brackets to the back side of the wing and also buy the brackets to mount the wheel to the spring. Can this be done or is the steel too heavy verse the fiber glass with all the hardware.

A friend of mine who is 84 or so and flew recon P-38's in WWII was over looking at my project the other day and we got to talking about the landing gear. (taildragger). I mentioned that I had thought about replacing the composite gear with a taller aluminum gear, but since the wing is built,

Hi Everyone,  Today I got my nerve up to start cutting on the panel.Before long I realized I made a mistake on the 3 1/8" cut outs, I placed them to close to each other.So to fix the problem I turned the two on the bottom into 2 1/4" holes. One very important thing to remember when building

Joe Are you asking if you could use the spring bar in place of the Diehl glass springs?. If so are you planning on cutting them to Diehl Lenght? Making your own mounting and axle brackets? Or, simply moving the bar to the rear of the main spar? That begs other questions such as control stick loc

Hello Joe, Yes, you could feasibly make them fixed. The down side is you still do not have much in the way of ground clearance. The Diehl gear will give you a bit more clearance for the prop as well as increasing your angle of attack for 3 point landings. It is still not quite high enough for a
