KR> project update

[rkp...@comcast.net]

Hi Everyone, 

 Just a update on my project. Last Friday the UPS Lady carried a long box up to 
the front door,I ordered a 60" x 68" pitch from Ed Sterba, after she handed it 
over I seen a hole punched through the 1/4 plywood.I thought this can't be,she 
was nice enough to stay lone enough while I remover about thirty screws to 
check every thing out. IT LOOKS GREAT! The only thing I need before I can start 
cutting on the prop spinner is the front bulk head. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

Congratulations! Your plane is looking like we should be seeing it in Mt Vernon 
this fall. 

 I've had the same situation, except Fed Ex had rammed the prop through the end 
of the crate, then broke 4" off the tip. It took 4 months, several rounds of 
appeals, and a see you in court notice with Fed Ex Ground before they finally 
paid for it. Glad yours wasn't damaged.

KR> cowling

[rkp...@comcast.net]

Hi everyone, 
   I looking through some of the old gatherings,I happened on a picture that 
was taken in Red Oak, Ia. The KR I noticed  was owned by a fellow by the name 
of Steve Alderman.The caption under the picture mentioned the cowling was made 
for a O-200 by Dan Deihl. Is there anyone still making that cowling, or was 
that just a one time thing?

KR> prop hub extension

[rkp...@comcast.net]

 Hi everyone 

   I received my prop hub extension from Saber Inc., it looks great. I couldn't 
wait to see how it looked on the front of the 0-200. It seem to be a very tight 
fit over the prop hub on the engine, it would only go about 1/4" and stop. 
Would I have to first heat the prop hub extension to install it?

everyone at Mark's airport, as I watched them build a deck onto the new club 
house. I hope it wont be to much longer before I can fly down,but I'm not 
complaining...The ride was great.

All the hardware in question was hand made using a metal cutting band saw to 
cut the steel. or a regular wood cutting miter saw with a 60 tooth carbide 
blade to cut the 6061-T6. All the steel was welded using aTIG welder.Nothing 
real high tech in my shop. One other thing I didn't mention, when cuting the 
steel,a jig saw with a metal cutting blade works great for cutting steel.Infact 
I use it more then my band saw.

Very nice photos and workmanship. I have a question. Did he fabricate the 
hardware for his canopy hinge and wing control surfaces himself or are they 
prefab? The hardware looks very nice.

KR> Need help on the best Epoxy to use with micro balloons.

[rkp...@comcast.net]

I personally am using using the west system. One of the things to remember is, 
when mixing micro balloons, the more micro balloons the easier to sand and it 
will weigh less.

Hi, I?m a new pilot and a new KR owner;   
  
I live near Houston TX and wanted a inexpensive airplane both to build and to 
opperate. I just picked up a project that was started in 1974.I bought this Kr 
1 (almost completed project) that is in amazingly good shape. It's all there, 
motor, prop, gages, canopy and everything is done except the finish. 
  
My little plane needs body work!, I called around to aircraft supply houses and 
couldn't get any clear guidance on the latest improved bonding agents with 
filler.  I read the article on "micro balloons" and how to do the bodywork but 
again wasn't clear on the epoxy to use. 

  
Would someone who know this kind of stuff give me some direction and a resource 
to get? Please enlighten me. I would love to call someone and ask questions 
about body work i.e. adding more layers of fiber etc Anyone in Texas also 
would be good. :) 
  
thanks 
rick

Hi Everyone, 

 I hope everyone is is well, I took some time to update my  PotoBucket . One of 
the things I changed was the finish on my panel,at first I painted with a 
hammered gray finish,it wasn't long before I realized it was very fragile and 
would chip easily.After taking every apart and striping all the paint,I took it 
and all the other parts to get power coated with Matt white finish. I was 
hoping to fly too the next gathering, but at this rate I'm not so sure.
