KR> Tip tanks

[Bob Glidden]

. Creating conditions to get you an unrecoverable spin or an uncontrollable
wing heavy condition at landing speed are things that can get you killed.

Jeff is spot on here. Just think if they had only three gallons each and for
our purpose fuel weighs in at 6 LBS a gallon. If your fuel don't transfer
out of one tank you got 18 lbs sitting on the wing tip. When you get slow
the plane is going to be like a teeter-totter. On final is not the place to
practice spin recovery. I don't care how good you think you are it only
takes one time. Some of the best pilot of our time are no longer with us
because of one mistake why increase our odds. Build smart...fly safe..

KR> Actual work on a KR

[Bob Glidden]

Well prior to the gathering I had no plans to finish the KR in my barn aka
the "mouse trap" but since returning from another AWESOME time at Mt Vernon
I decided that I would drag the plane out and give it a shot. I pulled off
the old firewall and took a 2180 vw off a Corby starlet and I'm headed out
for new plywood today to replace the firewall. I or I guess we since my 15
year old is helping would really like to have the front end repairs done and
the engine hung and get the first run on the engine before turkey day in
November. And I guess since Lee is so busy helping everyone else with their
KR work I will have to do all my composite work myselfthanks buddy,
actually he is going to do a pair of wheel pants I got from John B. he mouse
trap will make it to the gathering next year if I have to tow it. About
three years ago I decided I was going to slow working on airplanes and focus
more on my two boy's activities in their lives and believe me they have
many. Well that has not changed I just found a way to do both...get them
interested in airplanes and working on them. Even the wife thinks working in
the barn on airplanes is a good idea. It really was great seeing everyone
this year and it would be awesome to see 40 KR's at Mt Vernon next year.

Subject: KR> KR Gathering "Performance Evaluation"

KRnetHeads,

We talked about having a "race" Saturday morning at the Gathering, weather
permitting.  Jeff Lange worked out the details for us a few years ago, and
they're posted at 
http://www.krnet.org/misc/KRGatheringPerformance.pdf .  It's not called a
race because  you don't have to run wide open if you don't want to, although
some folks will want to.  This allows you to gauge your progress in
streamlining or sharpening piloting skills in order to improve performance
from one year to the next.  Planes depart the starting line in order of
expected finish time, so the gaps between planes should grow throughout the
short run, enhancing safety.  I think everybody who's done it has enjoyed
the experience, and I'm looking forward to it again this year.

Anyway, if you want to run it this year, the plan is 9AM Saturday morning.
Please print this out and bring it with you so you'll have the details
already in-hand.

Thanks,

Mark Langford

KR> EAA survey

[Bob Glidden]

EAA was founded on experimental aircraft, and I'm not thrilled that it's now

being expanded to "spam cans", a segment that is well represented in so many

ways.  Warbirds are nice from a nostalgic standpoint, but if I never had to 
stop another conversation with a KR builder to plug my ears while a Harrier 
showed off in front of the airshow crowd, it would be fine with me.


I think it is funny that the founder of EAA Paul P. started SAA a few years
back because he said EAA was becoming to commercialized. Wonder who
caused/let that happen. It is all about the money now. They would rather
have people giving massages and selling pots and pans then a guy selling
used parts. Anyone that knows me knows I love anything that involves an
airplane and Oshkosh is like therapy. If it was not for the great group of
people that get together every year, (most of them I met through this group)
it would not be worth going. It has became a family trip for us now and has
become the start of our family vacation every year. Oshkosh has always been
the place for anything new in aviation that hits the market. Both EAA and
AOPA are a big voice for GA and do a lot a great things, but I would love to
see the swap meet area get back to what it used to be. Anyone that goes to
Sun-N-Fun knows what I mean, their fly market is awesome. So go ahead and
flame away, but remember this is my opinion and has been shared by many
including the founder himself. We are the members and should have a voice,
if we all keep sending emails to them and voicing our thoughts maybe we can
get it back to the way it was.

KR> KR2S for sale

[Bob Glidden]

The FAA also says that we are responsible to self assess ourselves on rather
or not we are medically fit to fly rather we qualify for a medical or not,
and if you have failed a FAA medical you do not qualify for LSA. I would not
want to be on the wrong end of somebody's mishap flying when they should not
be.


It's my understanding that the FAA say's that your aircraft is what you say 
it is. If you call it a powered glider you can fly it without a medical. You

also can fly at any speed and at night. You do have to have a glider 
endorsement on your ticket.

[Bob Glidden]

Dan
That really should point toward the front in addition to venting it is also 
a way to put pressure into the tank to help move the fuel better. By 
pointing aft it is taking pressure out of the tank when you fly. Only takes 
one time for it to be an issue.

Let me make it clear to you up front I agree with you totally about what he

he is selling her plans,but there is not much of the plane that is actually 
not already been copied from somebody else by Ken early on. We do not have 
to support him and most wont,but the fact is ebay really won't be able to do

They have plenty of room to camp out.If you really want to enjoy Oshkosh,camp 
out and tell stories like the rest of us.I would not be surprised to see 
several KR's there this year.And if you really want info on KR's you need to 
attend the cook out at Mark Jone's hanger the Sunday before.That is what 
Oshkosh is all about is the people.And better yet plan to attend the KR 
gathering in September,you get a lot of good info there and again plenty of 
room to camp..

I have not seen a lot of replies to this and I'm no expert,but I would think 
that a 16th is pretty good and as I've heard many times and you will get

I second that motion.  That sixteenth could turn into an eighth, or even

KR> "fly-off" period after engine change

[Bob Glidden]

Unless I was told wrong 43. anything doe's not apply to your homebuilt 
airplane UNLESS you are running a certified engine and then all FAR's,AD's 
and such apply.I think Mark L hit the nail on the head with the part about 
using good judgement and staying close to a safe landing spot for the first 
few hours.Why would you want to put on a fresh engine certified or not and 
go flying long distances.I've not seen to many engine put on airplanes that 
did not require a little adjusting here and there.But as far as your auto or 
experimental engine on your airplane the FAR's do not apply

KR> Question about airworthy certificate

[Bob Glidden]

Jeff Scott is right on about home built aircraft.Just use common sense and 
the adage if they don't ask they really don't want to know.I believe that 
according to the FAR's if you rebuild or replace a engine you do fall back 
into the test phase.But that is not a bad thing.It is a good idea on a fresh 
engine certified or experimental to stay close to the airport for atleast a 
few hours.Even if it is professionally built.Even the so called experts make 
mistakes.As for 337 again Jeff is correct,they do not apply to home 
builts.After your plane is certified the impression I get from the FAA is 
good luck and don't call us we'll call you.Now that is the local FSDO 
here,yours may be different.

I'll bet you wont find any T-88 or any other glue holding RV wings or

are using seem too be working fine.Some just prefer one brand over

You know it amazes me that people still don't know how to cut and paste on a 
email.I just returned from Michigan after nine days and had almost 400 
emails most of which were like the one I just read.Why in the hell did 600 
people need to know about somebody talking to a engineer? Why not send it to 
the person it was intended for BRIAN brian.kr...@engalt.com  and even Brian 
would probly like it if you were to cut the previous 5 emails that are 
attached to it.Out of all those emails I got,most of them had multiple 
emails on each one.If the ability to cut and paste is just way outside the 
learning curve then stop by a school sometime and ask a 8 year old how to do 
it.

When are you going to have as big a group together at one time other then

factors discussed last year about Grenada was the weather at that time of 
year(Hurricane season) and being able to hanger them all if the weather did 
come up.And this is in no way trying to get everyone to vote one way or the 
other.I think we should take a hour or so on Saturday when the most people 
are there and decide what everyone would like to do.Just KR guy's and

 The advantage of an ELSA is the new repairman certificate that lets you 
work
 on more than one airplane.

The new mechanic rating for LSA is not as cut and dry as getting a 
repairmans cert.You have to get training on each type of LSA that you want 
to work on.That is how they are getting around the A issue.Just because 
you get qualified to work on your LSA doe's not give you the privledges to 
work on someone elses of a different type.I just had a very lengthy talk 
with FAA about this issue at Oshkosh.The thought of someone going to a short 
8 hour class and then fixing airplanes is scary to even think about.

[Bob Glidden]

Mark J and ya'll
Just got off the phone with Lee Van Dyke.He and Richard Shirley and Steve 
Glover are in Dodge city Kansas.Said so far the trip has been great.I guess 
Richard just gets out ahead of them enough and cuts the engine and waits for 
them to catch up.They are hoping to get the heck out of Dodge early and be at 
Mark J's airport around 1:00PM.Steve is going to fly with them for a short 
while and then peel off to deliver the airplane to the new owner...As for me 
I'm out the door to meet the group for breakfast at 6:00AM and we should be on 
the road by 7:00AM...SE YA"LLLL.

KR> Oshkosh

[Bob Glidden]

Netters
Just got back from a great week at Oshkosh.Thanks to Mark Jones for the mini KR 
gathering and hospitality at his place Saturday night.Was pretty cool getting 
to know Richard Shirley better,he is a interesting guy and no words can do 
justice telling about his plane,simply awesome.And a big thanks to Mark 
Langford for the thrill and awesome first KR flight.The airplane is everything 
I thought it would be and a lot more.Handling is better then I thought it would 
be and I never put my feet on the rudder peddles.Thanks also to Mark Jones,Mark 
Langford,Lee Van Dyke,Richard Shirley and can't remember his first name,but his 
last name was Klapp (NOT BILL) for the big fun at the campsite.Sorry about the 
tent Lee,but hey mine did not leak and Yes Brian Kraut it was the same one I 
gave you last year.Can't wait till gathering,but this was a great warm 
up.Thanks again to all for a great time

Is that a root beer or a rash you got

[Bob Glidden]

Good point Larry,$25.00 fine for anyone that don't put their root beer can 
in a trash can that I will bring just for that reason and you have to put 
them in a cup.No wondering around with root beer cansThat way you pour 
into the cup and drop can into the trash...no problem...

You know it will more then likely be cooler this year also.I think I ended 
up going through about 40 or 50 dollars in ice.But I would rather go that 
route also.
