Re: KR> Belly Brake

[Paul Visk via KRnet]

I'm planning to have the holes in  my belly board. Just because I think it 
looks cooler. I will drill the holes during my face one.  I will document the 
difference between the two and let you know.

Hi everyone,

Mark made his belly brake without holes. Which one would provide more stopping 
power (drag):

1. Plain flat surface.
2. The surface with the holes in it.

Is there any reason why the same principle could not be applied to the top of 
the stub wings - it should provide much more drag and kill lift instantly after 
landing. Much easier to make than any form of flaps.

Keep well all,

Henni

John, what's amazing to me. There are 11 airplanes planning on coming and this 
does not include all the last minute people that fly in.  If we have weather

 I would like to make the KR fly in again and if so will bring a seat pan to 
show. The mold was a lot of work and cost as much as four pans to build but a 
pan can be made on it in a few hours now. I am thinking that we may either 
build them for others or let others use the mold when we are done.

KR> Are You Flying to the Eclipse Path

[Paul Visk via KRnet]

Below is an email that I receive of a safety notice from the FAA FAAST team. 
With all the suspected traffic in the path of the eclipse.  They put out this 
safety notice.  I was planning on going down to Perryville Missouri (KPVD)which 
is in the center of the path and they're planning a big event.  But the plane 
that I fly now will be down for new avionics.Be safe out there.

Are You Flying to the Eclipse Path

Notice Number: NOTC7320

Do you plan to fly your aircraft on August 21 during the solar eclipse? If yes, 
you’re not alone. Several airports located in the path of the eclipse have 
notified the FAA that they are anticipating a significant increase in air 
traffic before and during the eclipse. Many of these airports are non-towered 
and have limited capacity to accommodate an increase in traffic. Here are some 
tips to fly safe in the path of the eclipse.


Use US Chart Supplements (formerly AFD).
Check NOTAMs for your departing and arriving airports, including 
airports along the route of your flight. Remember, some airports may already be 
at capacity.
Call your destination airport, and respect the runway closures and 
safety information they provide.
Expect Unicom congestion, and check for additional instructions on 
ASOS/AWOS voice over.
See and Avoid is a high priority. Watch out for possible drone activity.
Utilize Air Traffic Services when available.
Use IFR operations when appropriate, file VFR flight plans …. let Air 
Traffic assist you!


Have some specific questions about an area or airport? The FAASTeam is here to 
help. Our local FAASTeam Program Managers (FPM) are available to help with 
local knowledge. Find your local FPM for any given area

Larry Flesner came over for a nice visit today.  I picked him up at the airport 
went back to the house and looked over my plane and he suggested a couple 
things. It's always nice having another set of eye look at it once in awhile.  
Then we had lunch. After lunch I was surprised.  My grandkids came over 
unexpectedly for a visit. We all took Larry back to the airport and the kids 
got to sit in a real airplane that takes off. We hung around for a little while 
after Larry took off and listened to the air traffic controllers.  It was a 
great day.Thanks for coming Larry.

in good shape.  None of them have witness holesGot them with a big  tray of 
hardware from an old friend inJackson Tennessee who I haven't had lunch with 
for a while🤔I talked to John at B&B. Joe wasn't in the office today.  It was

To answer one question. I don't think the JCAB have any outside connections 
with home built aircraft organisations anywhere outside Japan, full stop. So 
neither the LAA or EAA can have any influence on the JCAB. Our UK CAA is in 
negotiations with the JCAB though, so we will see what happens.

Colin Hales Online Petition for KR2 Worldtour...



Hi all,


Sorry to fill your inbox up twice in a week, but now I have to submit new 
documents to the JCAB who like me, have been let down by the Japanese Flight 
Permission Agents also. They were supposed to help, but after months of simply 
wasting everyone's time, haven't helped and probably never could and have just 
hindered.


So to aide myself I would like to start an online petition to get some weight 
behind me of a few hundred fellow pilots, to show to the JCAB, that I have 
support and I'm not going away. Would you, could you all look at the online 
petition below and if you agree, would you care to sign it for me and share it 
around to any fellow pilots or engineers or aviation enthusiastic friends even. 
Its a bit cheeky I know, but I think it might help quite a bit, so I've 
asked...


Cheers Colin H.

Re: KR> Frustrations with rigging my ailerons

[Paul Visk via KRnet]

Typically crosswind limits are up to the individual pilot.  Every Pilots 
ability is different. For an example alot of my flying was up in North Dakota 
and if you weren't able to handle 15+ kts crosswinds in a 172 you wouldn't be 
able to fly much.  It's also the type of airplane you have. Nose gear 
configurations can usually handle more crosswind than taildraggers. Joe has 
demonstrated in the past with his trip to Chino that he is a very accomplished 
crosswind lander so Jo's limits would be completely different from somebody 
else's.

 Paul, I did struggle to get the aliron throws that the plans call for 
and probably if check right now would be a couple degrees short of the full 
travel. I have never - evere-ever come close to using full travel in flight. I 
do use it in ground operations and some of the extream x-wind landings that I 
have put myself into. But ot that end the rudder is what I increased on this 
project.

KR> Frustrations with rigging my ailerons

[Paul Visk via KRnet]

I have been trying to get my aileron deflection angles right for awhile now.  
The best I can get is about 18.5 up and 8.5 down. 

It looks like I need 3/4" more travel at the stick and it's not there.  So I'm 
going to have to weld new U channels on the stick brackets and figure out were 
to drill the pivot point. 

I used Mark's design on the stick and used the original bracket design for the 
aileron push rods. I'm thinking that the two are not compatible. 

Has anyone had this issue?

Re: KR> aileron pushrods

[Paul Visk via KRnet]

Ok, I'll eat a little crow. One thing though. The one foot of tubing would make 
two push rods. So Larry's push rod would be $2.00 cheaper. But I think a 
polished aluminum push rod looks a lot better than a rusty old bolt. 😊

Re: KR> aileron pushrods

[Paul Visk via KRnet]

I just made two push rods for my auto pilot and will be making my aileron' push 
rods shortly.   Wicks had all the stuff you need. All you need is to order 
R3/8X083-T6 tubing.  Two male rod ends. Item # XM3 and a couple of jam nuts. 
Cut your tube to length. Drill the ends of the tube with a #3 drill bit. A 
7/32" drill bit will also work. Tap the ends with a 1/4-28 tap. Then screw in 
the rod ends with the jam nuts. 
My tech advisor likes to do it like Larry said. The problem with that way it's 
twice as expensive.

I had a couple small holes with my vinyl Ester resin but they are easy fixes.
I know what you mean about the resin. My son had problems working with it. I

I received my swaging tool and gauge from AS yesterday and checked the crimps I 
had made with my Princess Auto tool. they are correct and so now the only thing 
I am trying to come to terms with is that the info I read says 2 crimps per 
sleeve but there is really only room for 1 per sleeve unless the 2 crimps 
overlap the ends of the sleeve which leaves a bump/ring around the middle of 
the sleeve. Someone did say that 1 crimp is sufficient and I assume that would 
just be in the middle of the sleeve. 
Any other thoughts on this? 
Thanks

I just ordered the go no go gauge from Aircraft Spruce for checking my 
nicopress sleeves but I have a few questions. The tool I bought is from 
Princess Auto and is not an actual nicopress brand. I have been reading a lot 
about swaging and wondering if others have used sleeves/tools/ gauges that are 
not all from the same company. 
If you use the gauge and the fitting is in the correct slot does it really 
matter if you use a matching tool? 
I know that is the common thought but is that just because of liability issues 
for the companies because of use on certified aircraft ? 
I want my cables to be safe but also don't want to spend a small fortune on a 
tool I will only use a few times. 
The gauge should arrive by the end of the week or on Monday so I will try a 
test fit first but would appreciate thoughts on this issue. 
Thanks

Re: KR> FAA Basic Med

[Paul Visk via KRnet]

I hear you Patrick. When I came back flying after 20 years of being out.  It 
took over a year to get my medical back. It was totally ridiculous for the 
stuff that they were asking for. I'm a commercial truck driver and drive an 18 
wheeler and I have to get a physical  every year.   It's nothing like what the 
FAA wanted.  I just hope my doctor is willing to sign this form that the FAA 
wants.

Paul, I was the one that wrote about not being asked for a medical. I am 
aware of the problems if in an accident. I only fly my own aircraft. If I 
were asked for a med by anyone in charge and I cannot show one, what are 
they going to do? Pull my license, put me in jail? I'm 81 years old so 
neither one would amount to much. However, I am going to an FAA forum this 
afternoon for the new medical and I have not flown as PIC since I lost my 
medical in 1993. I have done a lot of flying from the right seat. I made the 
post to show that since you have to determine yourself, if you are fit to 
fly, why should you have to get a medical every two years?

Where the problem is Ron.  If you have some type of situation where you get 
involved with the FAA as in an accident, a runway incursion or even another 
airplane bumps into you on the airport ramp and insurance gets involved. You 
have this little form that you have to fill out for the FAA asking you all 
these questions and one of them is the date of your medical.  That is where it 
can get really nasty for you. I guess you're not breaking the rules until you

FAA Safety Team | Safer Skies Through Education
  

  

April 24 – The FAA encourages general aviation pilots to learn 
how to meet the BasicMed requirements

Notice Number: NOTC7130

General aviation pilots can now prepare to fly under BasicMed without holding a 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) medical certificate as long as they meet 
certain requirements. They can fly under BasicMed beginning on May 1, the 
effective date of the January 10 final rule.  It offers pilots an alternative 
to the FAA’s medical qualification process for third class medical 
certificates, while keeping general aviation pilots safe and flying affordable.

 

General aviation pilots may take advantage of the regulatory relief in the 
BasicMed rule or opt to continue to use their FAA medical certificate. Under 
BasicMed, a pilot will be required to complete a medical education course every 
two years, undergo a medical examination every four years, and comply with 
aircraft and operating restrictions.  For example, pilots using BasicMed cannot 
operate an aircraft with more than six people onboard and the aircraft must not 
weigh more than 6,000 pounds. 

 

A pilot flying under the BasicMed rule must:


possess a valid driver’s license;
consent to a National Driver Register check;
have held a medical certificate that was valid at any time after July 
15, 2006;
have not had the most recently held medical certificate revoked, 
suspended, or withdrawn;
have not had the most recent application for airman medical 
certification completed and denied;
have taken a BasicMed online medical education course within the past 
24 calendar months;
have completed a comprehensive medical examination with any 
state-licensed physician within the past 48 months;
have been found eligible for special issuance of a medical certificate 
for certain specified mental health, neurological, or cardiovascular 
conditions, when applicable; and
not fly for compensation or hire.


 

Pilots can read and print the Comprehensive Medical Examination Checklist and 
learn about online BasicMed online medical courses at www.faa.gov/go/BasicMed

KR> Bow in aileron spars

[Paul Visk via KRnet]

Something to watch out for .On my first wing I found I had a slight bow in my 
aileron spars in opposite directions. This caused a very stiff movement of the 
hinge.  (I fixed it.) This wing I have attached a very accurate level that I 
bought from Harbor Freight. 🤣At least the edge is straight.  In doing this will 
ensure there is no bow before I micro it in place. I will do this on both the 
wing and aileron.

and the importance of it.  Everything else on the plane looks good. He said,  
It looks like your going to be needing a hangers soon. I told him I was going 
to put an eight foot extension with plastic on the front of my garage to be 
able to put both wings at the same time. But that won't be until next early 
spring when I start final assembly.

I agree, in general.  Just arguing the numbers though, if the AN bolt has a 
tensile strength of 125,000 psi, a quick search of the data for grade 5 fine 
thread 5/16 bolts (coarse thread is a little less) shows a tensile strength of 
about 120,000 psi, so 4% lower tensile strength.  Don't get me wrong though... 
for an engine mount, it should be AN hardware... not Ace Hardware.

Finally the Rt.aileron is made. The counter wieght came out really well.  Once 
I got the lead melted I poured it into a wooden box that I made in about 2 
minutes with my brad nailer. This weight was a little lite.  So made it a 
little wider and it came out perfect.

KR> Melting lead

[Paul Visk via KRnet]

First a comment before my question.  In the book it says to use an old pot to 
melt lead down for the aileron counter weight.  I'll give you some advise. What 
you consider an old pot is might be different then what your wife considers an 
old pot is. Be forewarned😡

How do you melt a 5 lbs chunk of lead on the stove? I did an internet search.  
Lead melts at 621 degrees.  I'm not even getting close to that.

Re: KR> DAR inspections

[Paul Visk via KRnet]

Here in the US. It is NOT recommended to buy a project under construction 
without a builders log.  The thing is you have to prove that 51% of the 
airplane by amateurs and without a log there's no way to prove.  From what I've 
heard Canada has a much more stringent process. My opinion, do not buy it 
without a builders log. You're buying nothing but a problem.

Hi All; 
I am considering a project in the U.S. that has no documentation whatsoever and 
am wondering about DAR inspections. 
I want to import this project into Canada and our inspections require a pre 
cover (before box spars etc,are closed in) . 
What I am wondering is if I might find a number or something that shows it was 
done in the U.S . 
In Canada each component is stamped or stickered to show it has been done. 
The project is fairly complete all spars are closed, wings closed etc.although 
it would still meet 51% requirement here in Canada. 
I f I can show the inspections I an import as parts and then continue it. 
Any thoughts about this? 
Thanks

KR> Aileron hinge bolts

[Paul Visk via KRnet]

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.

You've got a point, Oscar.  I'm not concerned about the wires and 
hoses, they're pretty obvious, but  there were several items I made 
"mental" notes about reverse order on install and which bolts had 
tabs attached for securing cables, etc. and the "mental" notes are a 
bit hard to read this morning.  Maybe another cup of coffee and a 
sweet roll will remove some of the blurriness...

As for the hangar, I'm lucky to be in the FBO heated and well lit 
hangar and the cleanliness is just a matter of picking up after 
myself.  After 49 years of marriage some training is hard to ignore. :-)

The angles for all the control surfaces are in the manual.  If you

 Robert, I agree with Larry. I'm actually at the same spot you are. Larry was 
going to fly over today and help me glass the bottom side of one of my wings 
but last night I was working on the trailing edge and decided I didn't like how 
it turned out. I called Larry to tell him and still wanted him to fly over to 
have another set of eyes to look at it but the wind forecast was to strong at 
his place. So we talked for a while and came up with some good ideas.
