offset will work just fine. That's one of the many judgement calls that plans

Subject: KR> Aileron hinge bolts

I'll be ordering my aileron hardware from Wicks soon. In looking in the book at 
10.59. It says to use 8/32 pan head bolts for the aileron hinge. Has anyone had 
problems with sufficient clearance between the heads of the bolts if they're 
lined up with each other?  Or should they be offset. I believe I've seen some 
people use countersunk bolts. Any advice would be appreciated.

KR> 0-200 engine mount

2016-12-14 Thread Mike Sylvester
Ryan, Mine is at 11 1/2 inches but geeezzz, there are so many variables it hard 
to state them all. Header or wing tanks, KR2 or KR2S, the weight from firewall 
back, the list goes on and on. Just remember, You can always move the engine 
forward with spacers but you can't shorten it unless you cut and re weld. 
Ultimately you have to be the final judge on where you need the weight. Good 
luck.

KR> first flight details.

2016-10-30 Thread Mike Sylvester
OK Guys, Now that I'm down from a near adrenaline overdose (LOL). This is my 
story.

I have been tail up taxiing for several weeks and was feeling pretty confident 
that I could keep it on the runway. There was another issue that was dealing me 
fits and that was nerves. I kept coming up with excuse after excuse not to fly. 
I kept dwelling on what could go wrong, this is pretty serious stuff when you 
think about it. I finally decided no more excuses, the winds where going to be 
favorable Friday evening. I made sure the wife knew all the pertinent 
information. Called a trusted friend to be my ground crew and to call the 
rescue people if needed. Game on. Climbed in about 5 pm yesterday, fired her up 
and taxied to the runway knowing there was no turning back this time. The crazy 
thing was that the nervousness was gone. All business now. A quick run up and 
let her roll out to 04. Throttle up, tail up, more throttle and she's pulling a 
lot harder than my 150 with the same engine. She made a funny bounce and I 
thought she wanted to fly, I was right, back on the stick and I was in the air. 
I held her down for a couple of seconds before starting a 100 mph climb out. I 
could not believe how simple that was and that I was not over controlling the 
plane. All of my fears of POH and rolling her upside down on takeoff were gone. 
I let her climb to three thousand feet while circling the field, pulled the 
throttle back to around 2500 while leveling out. Checked speed, 140 mph without 
the paints or spinner. Thinking that I would have to make several attempts at 
landing and feeling pretty confident about the handling of the plane, I started 
descending back to the pattern with carb heat on. I was going to extend the 
downwind to give me a long approach so I pushed carb heat off and added 
throttle. Started a turn to base and that's when things went bad. The engine 
started stumbling, needless to say, the funny thing is that I was more worried 
about destroying the plane than I was getting hurt. I had been in contact with 
my friend on the ground, calling out temps, pressures and pilot status. I told 
him I had a Mayday situation with engine dying, his response was, Get it down! 
I had already started a turn to final, realizing that I could make the runway 
all thoughts went to Oh Shit, I've only got 1 chance to land a plane that I've 
never landed before. was this really happening ? I was way high once I knew I 
could make it, engine still surging, Pulled it back to idle, checked speed,140 
mph, Raised nose to slow to 120 mph, lowered speed brake, nosed it over hard 
and the brake did it's job. Stayed at 120 aiming for end of runway, started 
leveling out and crossed the numbers at 100, I held it off the runway letting 
the brake slow her down while making sure not to move the stick, she finally 
settled onto the runway, added some forward stick and basically nailed a 
perfect landing letting her roll till the tail dropped. Engine ran great 
taxiing back to hanger. Did a quick run up and no problems. After a lot of 
discussion, We are blaming pilot error. While I was cruising at reduced power 
setting, I had leaned the engine, I think I had more throttle than the lean jet 
could handle when I tried to extend the down wind or possibly carb icing. 
Lesson learned.

Ok Guys, I have taken the week off to sand the primer and paint the plane. Let 
me start by saying that something I thought was a good thing in the past has 
come back to bite me. In the building process as I finished a part of the plane 
I would prime it by rolling on 2 part epoxy high fill primer, yes I said, roll 
it on with little foam rollers. This leaves a slight orange peel texture and 
this stuff is killer to sand down to smooth. What I thought I could do in two 
days is going to take all week. I hope we sing the sanding song at the 
gathering because I am definitely earning the right to sing it, Hell, I might 
even lead the thing.

KR> O-200

2016-04-30 Thread Mike Sylvester
I never could get my O-200 to self prime, I had left the spark plugs out to 
take the pressure off of the rod bearings and to make her easy to spin over but 
she just would not pick up the oil. I finally pulled the side plate where the 
filter mounts and poured oil in the top hole until it would not take any more. 
I think that I even turned the prop backwards to make sure that it would enter 
the pump. I then put the plate back on. This worked, I had oil pressure. PS, It 
takes a lot of oil, you have to back fill the screen cavity.

KR> wingtips.

2016-04-10 Thread Mike Sylvester
Good morning guys, Whatever design you decide to go with just remember that you 
have to build an exact opposite. This can be a lot harder than you first think. 
I went with a one off design myself and during the process I wished that I had 
just done a simple front to back Hoerner wingtip. I would have finished them 
weeks earlier. I end up with what I think is a Sexy and I hope functional tip. 
You'll get to see them at the Gathering.

KR> Aileron spar

2016-01-03 Thread Mike Sylvester
The layup around the spare is actually more than a 90 degree wrap. I was able 
to find a couple of 1/2 inch super light angle, I think it came in 10 foot 
pieces. I closed the gap past the 90 degrees and then covered the full length 
of the inside with duct tape as a release agent. Did the layup and the clamped 
on the angle to promote a super tight radius. Let dry 24 hours and then pop off 
the angle.

Merry Christmas guys. My two sons and their families will be here today for 
Christmas Dinner but unlike Paul, I have timed a couple of projects on the KR 
that need an extra set of hands. I'm hopeful that they'll look at it as good 
father / son bonding time. It's looking like just a few more months to get my 
girl in the air. And then I'll be expecting calls to meet for lunch or just to 
go visit someone. Yee Haa.  Again Merry Christmas to all.

KR> Fuel Tanks.

2014-02-17 Thread Mike Sylvester
I have already passed the point of no return on my fuel system but for all of 
you guys that are still contemplating 5 inch aluminum tubes in the outer wing. 
How about using a larger tube such as a 12 inch and compress it to fit the 
airfoil design. I would think that a plywood box could be built in the shape 
you need and start bending until it fits. Cap the ends and walla, A fuel cell 
with more capacity.

Good mourning Guys, I am getting ready to start the panel. I am looking at the 
Flightline Fl-760 comm and basic minimal day VFR gauges ( airspeed, altimeter, 
compass ) as I only intend on fair weather flying. I'll also need a 
transponder. As for engine gauges, I'm going with the Grand Rapids EIS. 
Suggestions would be appreciated. But before you comment, Keep in mind that I'd 
like to do this with minimal spending that the KR name and history implies. In 
other words, the cheaper the better. Hey, if this thing flies, I'll upgrade it 
later.

Hey Guys, Do you ever have one of those day's when you wonder why you even 
bothered to get out of bed ? Well today has been that way for me. I have been 
agonizing over how to make the cowling for weeks so yesterday I finally 
committed to a plan of action.I made a big foam block and mounted it on front 
of the o-200a , thinking that I would build the nose bowl first and this would 
be my starting point. Wrong...It looked like crap ! I am now ready to buy a 
nose bowl. I do like the looks of the Holy Cowl on the Lancair and the Cirrus. 
Has anybody stretched one of Williams over an o-200 ? Any suggestions ? I 
forgot to mention that I have already looked at most of the webb sites on the 
KRnet. I have even considered the nose bowl for a Thorpe T18 (MC-7 from A/C 
Spruce), Can you tell that desperation is setting in ?

Hello everyone, It seems to be a little slow on the net so I'll give a quick 
update on my project. All of the plane now has primer on it except for the 
cowl, which is not made yet. 99 percent of the sanding is behind me now and I 
could not be happier ( Sanding sux ). I am looking forward to hanging the o-200 
on this thing, making a cowling and going flying. I know there's more to it 
than that but that's the big stuff.

2011-12-18 Thread Mike Sylvester

Mark, With a heat wave all the way up to 32 deg. you better take the sunscreen 
and after you land you could get one of those fruity drinks with the little 
umbrella in it.

KR> flying stories ?

2011-12-18 Thread Mike Sylvester

Sorry if you get this twice but it does'nt look like it went out yesterday when 
I first tried to send it. Straight to the question. Where are all the 
inspirational flying stories that keeps the fires burning in all of us builders 
? Come on guys, I know someone out there is doing more than sitting on the 
couch this winter. I've really enjoyed reading the exploits of the "Time 
machine, N56ML" and all the others that have gone through the tedious hours of 
sanding that are now enjoying flying their KRs'. As for me, I'm going 
downstairs for a full day of sanding on the tail feathers. And Merry Christmas 
to all.

Thanks to all who responded on and off the KR Net. I'm doing great. I probably

KR> Heart Attack.

2011-11-18 Thread Mike Sylvester

Guy's, As most of you know, I have been coming to the Gatherings for the past 5 
years and feel like everyone that I have met there has become a good friend. 
Just wanted to let you guys know that I had a heart attack Wednesday morning at 
the ripe old age of 50. Made it to the hospital where I received a stint in the 
big artery at the front of the heart. Long story short, Got home a couple of 
hours ago and am doing great. Now, hopefully with the help from the EAA and 
AOPA I will have my license back before I finish the KR.

. POR-15 is not available here.)   You could always have the POR 15 shipped

KR> KR P/R At Serfi.

2011-10-23 Thread Mike Sylvester

FYI, The KR community was represented very well at Serfi this year. The weather 
was absolutely perfect as Bill Page and Ken Thomas brought out their KR2's for 
a weekend of friends and fun. Bill came in Friday and his beautifully painted 
KR2 started turning heads immediately. Ken brought his Jabiru powered KR2S in 
Saturday flying with a friend in a Lancair. How cool is that last sentence ? 
Flying with a Lancair on 1/10th the cost and less than half the fuel burn. 
Awesome !!! Thanks Guys, for representing the KR Community with style.

Thanks Dan, Just goes to show that even an experienced builder can make a 
mistake now and again. A good reminder to check and recheck before signing off 
on a component. Glad you found the problem.
