I learnt quickly to drain the fuel out of the other wing first otherwise the she assumes a bank angle of around 20 degrees when the wing comes off. John Martindale 29 Jane Circuit Toormina NSW 2452 AUSTRALIA ph: 61 2 6658 4767 (H) mob: 0403 432179 email: john_martind...@bigpond.com

KR> gap between wings

Hey Phil How do you do this when the bottom bolts in main and rear spar are not in alignment (as per the plans)? If the wing pivots downwards on them they must align otherwise one or other will bind and strain the WAFs. John Martindale 29 Jane Circuit Toormina NSW 2452 AUSTRALIA ph: 61 2

KR> Center of Gravity and Prop Spinners

Also much lighter and less susceptible to fatigue crack around the the cutouts. No ugly rivets and doublers needed. Check out Aircraft Spruce, they have some well priced ones if you worry about making one yourself. John Martindale 29 Jane Circuit Toormina NSW 2452 AUSTRALIA ph: 61 2 6658 4767

than a 3 blade if clocked correctly. Similarly a 3 blade on a 6 cylinder might be inherently betterjust a personal view...no evidence here William...sorry :-) We've had several instances of VWs (and 4 cyl Jabirus for that matter) disliking composite 3 bladers. See Ya John Martindale

Hi Robin I took mine to a strut regasser to decompress them. It only took a minute with the right gear and cost nothing. You can't go too far or the seals will start to fail and before you know it they have to be pumped up again. John Martindale 29 Jane Circuit Toormina NSW 2452 AUSTRALIA ph

KR> engine outs

No Don You must check stuff out better and not rely on memory. Mark's glide ratio is far better than the beasts you mention and the KR does not get bounced around significantly more since its wing loading at around 15lbs/square foot is comparable. John Martindale 29 Jane Circuit Toormina NSW

KR> cg with Deihl wing skins

Hi Bill Most odd :-) Those figures seem similiar to mine and others. You should be able to keep within 8 to 12 " aft of leading edge in most loadings. Although RR states 16" as the rear limit, many have experienced danger back there. The airfoil should produce a nose down attitude as the
