KR> Mogas blues.
Mogas blues. I traded my Evans Volksplane for mu KR2 and warned the new owner about using ethanal tainted fuel. He didn't listen and starting the engine while standing beside it he had opened the revflow and closed it but the gunk kept the throttle WIDE OPEN. It almost killed he and his wife who was standing in front of the elevator. If not for an older Jeep Wagoneer it would have hit an above ground fuel tank with him riding the wing. I learned that when someone considers themselves to be a pilot that it means different things to different people. Sorry about your tanks Jeff. As far as my KR I am not going to finish it and it is far to good to let rot in my shop. Anyone that wants a nearly complete KR2 nose dragger with a Revmaster or a 0200 please get in touch. ___ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.

KR> KR 2 Parts
I have a bunch of parts that are going to ruin if someone doesn't come get them. You'll have been talking about spars and I have two complete built wings, with attachment fittings I don't need. They are the first version. Buy the wings for $200 and I'll throw in two completed tails, one boat, canopy, two header tanks and a bunch of hardware. None of this stuff is new or in great shape but some of it is usable and a lot cheaper than what you would buy. This stuff is in Jackson Tennessee between Memphis and Nashville on I-40 . Someone please come get this stuff. Ask Paul Visk, I'm easy to deal with.
KR> Parts I don't need.
I have some KR2 parts I need out of my way. A set of wings, older airfoil, boat with the tail, turtle deck with a tail, two header tanks and a canopy. There is some hardware and probably other parts I've forgotten with this. The parts are located in Jackson Tennessee and you have to come get them. Make an offer, contact me off the KRnet, directly. Do Not respond on the net. Steve Bray, rsbray at hotmail.com
KR> KR 2 Parts
About a year ago I bought some parts , got what I needed and sold the rest to a gentleman in Tulsa Ok. He was unable to pick them up and will not be. He agreed to let them go and so they are for sale again. Here is what I know I have: one boat with tail and some rigging. one top rear cover with tail. one set of wings, original style I think. one canopy. some hardware in a box. One, maybe two header tanks. I haven't looked this stuff over in a while and this is not new. The boat has flown I was told. This stuff is in Jackson Tn. on I 40. My cell is 731-444-0163 AGAIN this is used stuff that WILL need some work but the repairs will be a lot faster and cheaper than from scratch. I will take and send pictures to those interested.

KR> Moontown, AL Crash
Local aviation legend and 17 year old flight student die in plane crash Last Update: 12:13 am Print Story | Share MADISON CO. (WAAY) - George Myers loved to fly. It was his life. WAAY 31's Kalie Lanford learned that first hand today when he took her up in his plane. Just an hour later George was piloting another flight when it crashed. ?Its tragic I?ve known George for many years?him and his wife,? said Myers friend Jerry Sanderson George and his passenger Chris Schmitt, 17, were flying in a Russian Yak at the Annual Moontown Fly-In. They were flying in a formation with three other Yaks when suddenly their plane snapped out of formation and crashed. Those who knew George respected him as an excellent pilot and local legend. ?His influence on aviation was impeccable. He was an impeccable pilot and he was the previous owner of moon town airport and had it for years and this airport is known nationally," said Myers friend, Bill Perry. Myers?s passenger Chris Schmitt was an aspiring pilot. He was in flight school in Madison to get his license. He told WAAY 31 he loved to fly because of the freedom he felt when he was in the air. Both men said some of their happeist moments were in a plane. Now, friends are taking some comfort knowing they died doing something they love. ?He?s been such a great influence on so many people that enjoy flying, and hes going to be very missed,? Perry said.

KR> Flight suites
> Do they have a website? > > > > I'd be interested in one. Do you have a phone number, or website for them. These are USED flight suites in a army surplus store in Trenton Tn. I don't think they have a sight. If you will send me your size I'll drive up there and see what I can get. They have a rack full and get in shipments so there is a good chance. Three of you have replied so I thought I'd give it a few days. I'll ship them to you for cost plus postage. They fold up tight and don't weigh much so it won't cost much. My cell is 731-444-0163, If you want I can phone you a pic before I buy. They are nothing fancy, just o d military flight suites with velcro for patches but they are nomex so they are flame retardant or resistant. I sent Mark L. one of my old ones a year or so ago just like these if you want to check with him. They are NOT a bad idea for test flights. This has brought more replies than I expected.I didn't even know the name of the store but I looked it up. It's J & W Surplus 2009 US Hwy. 45 S. Byp. Trenton, Tn. (no zip in the phone book) 731-855-3570I also ran across this site that says it has new ones for $55.
KR> Flight suites
If anyone is interested I've run across an Army surplus store that sells used military nomex flight suites for $25 each.For some odd reason mine shrank while hanging in the closet for the last thirty+ years from my size to about Mark L's size ... strange. Steve Bray Jackson, Tennessee

I have a friend that bought a RV-6 in the Washington D.C. area and needs an annual so he can fly it home rather than trailer it.

KR> Canopy Latch
Sorry..should have given you a little more info. Bought a 95% project (yea) that has a side opening canopy with the hooks installed and glassed in the canopy but no latch's. I bought the latch's from RR and when installed the cam over hits the wood and makes it hard to latch as in it takes both hands. This doesn't seem right. I can't get the archives to work and find nothing in the plans about it and RR sent none, I didn't know enough to ask.

Dan, Do you mean so that the latch folds over downward to latch ? As it is now I have to lift the latch upward to latch it. The hook is above the latch and the latch folds up to lock in place.

KR> Project - AWC
Not to disagree..but... Here in Jackson the local repair shop owner who took over the business from his father as in he's been it all his life told me He recently became a DAR although he's never done one as yet. In just getting the DAR I would have to ASSUME he is up on the latest rules. He is aware of my KR, how I got it and looked it over when I got it. I asked him about 51% and the paperwork and he told me the rules are not as they were and all I needed to do was write a letter saying I built this airplane for recreational flying or something to that effect. I'm fairly sure he told me the paper trail requirements were nothing as tight as they once were. Another DAR that I visit that builds Long Easy's and has lots of experience as a DAR and knows about my partially completed KR told me to send my paper work and pictures, not a computer disk, ahead of the inspection. Didn't show any interest in who was in the pictures as long as I was in some of them. I got the impression from both of them that if I could answer all the questions about the airplane it wouldn't be a problem. I took this to mean that if I knew the airplane from one end to the other they were happy. That is a real good idea if I'm gonna fly it anyway. These are not the people you deal with on a repairman ticket so that may be another deal all together. There are a couple of friends here flying two place Challengers now without N numbers and they tell me the FAA is pushing, read cutting some slack, to get these heavy/illegal ultra-lights numbered before 1/30/08. I know this isn't KR stuff but some people have more than on airplane. These are the possible mis-conceptions under which I labor, I hope they are not mis-conceptions.

KR> carbon fibre tail spring
A while back we were talking about this on the VP list I think and someone was talking about a some small cheap car equipped with composite rear leaf springs. From the way he talked they would be cheap and easy to come by and had more than strong enough. I think he cut them at the arch and bolted them on. I think I can dig it out if anyone's is interested. Might be worth looking into.

KR> Belt Drive PSRU
Phil Some of my friends fly Challengers, most are Rotax 503's, all are belt drive. They have been flying them for years, 10 or more. I don't know any history or how often they are changed but I've never heard of a belt failure. They turn 6000+ rpm and seem to hold up well. These are great little airplanes and very easy to fly. When I fly one I worry more about the 2-cycle giving up than the belt. They stall around 30 so an engine out isn't nearly as big of a deal as in a KR.

KR> Help / wiring diagram
I would suggest that you look over what you have before ripping it all out. I believe you said you bought a project and it is already wired. Unless you want to start over you probably want to understand what is done and use what is done rightrather than starting over. Someone may have put a lot of work in there and unless it's really screwed up a lot of it may be useable. If it is all screwed up you may want to look closer at the rest of the work he did.

KR> Fuel Tanks
Randy I traded a VP-1 to a man in Texas, he without knowing put a blended fuel in and it melted his tank (glass) which went to the RevFlowand stuck the slide wide open while he was propping the plane. It put he and his wife in the hospital and killed the VP. This is not a tale, I have pictures. He didn't do anything wrong that he was aware of but that didn't change the outcome and it could have been a lot worse. Alcohal will eat rubber parts and could do the same thing, be careful.

KR> KR2 Conventional to Tricycle gear conversion
Mark I've been trying to research the nose gear converson / CG / engine spacer deal and haven't gotten any solid facts. Jeanett or Dan Diehl, both of whom I've asked don't have any solid answers but Bill Page from Mississippi flew his new KR-2 to the gathering with a passenger, is looking where to get spacers. I talked to him and he said that as fuel is used out of the header tank the CG changes noticable. It appears that a KR-2 with a VW needs the 2 inch spacers between the Diehl engine mount and the engine with the nose gear. Most if not all the VW KR's at the Gathering had them but I couldn't get a " you need them " answer , all I got was " this is what worked " . Don't know why everyone is so vague about this but on Dan and Jeanett's part I think liability may have something to do with it. I'm working on a skirt for my cowling.

KR> Conventional to Tricycle gear/ Engine placement
Dan , Riley and Serge
I got a somewhat completed KR-2 and it came with the gear, nose and mains,
mounted. It also came with 2" stainless steel spacers. I have access to
alum. and a lathe so making more isn't a problem.
The problem is that the fuse is mostly complete but the wings are built but
need but not filled, sanded or painted so the weight won't give me a true
w/b. Without the wings each wheel is within 2 lbs. of 165 with the spacers
in place.
With the spacers in the Revmaster {old type} starter hits the motor mount.
My 4 into 1 KR exhaust
that was suppose to be for a nose gear hits the nose mount, even more so
without the spacers.
I can make a 1 3/4" spacer to clear the starter and getting a set of 2 into
1 pipes that should clear.
I guess I'm going to have to change directions and finish the wings to get a
good W/B and do it right .
I've also considered making a longer motor/nose gear mount .
So far nothing turns out to be as easy as it appears with airplane building
and takes at least three times as long as it should.
Thank you all for your help and info/experience.

I was talking to Mrs. KR...! We had a pleasent conversation about her trip to the Gathering and the Gathering.

KR> Engine spacers
Hello I'm at the point of working on my cowling and have to make a decision on my engine placement. I have not as yet weighed my airplane and know that will be the next thing but I can't find anywhere in my plans anything about the spacers I have that go between the engine and mount. I have a partially completed plane that came with the spacers and a nose gear but I noticed at the gathering that some of your firewalls are forward a couple of inches of mine. Some of you use spacers and some don't, some of you put spacers between the firewall and engine mount. What's the deal here ? Are there some changes in newer plans to move the firewall forward ? When I push down on the tail it takes a lot of pressure to lift the nose and if I move the engine forward it will be even more so. We are talking about a KR-2 with a VW Revmaster nose gear. Thanks, Steve Bray

KR> Taxi cost at Mt Vernon
The Holliday Inn guy told us the van was for check in and check out only, one trip each way. When we got there we called them and waited 45 min. and got a ride with Bill Page, we met the van on the way out. They may have been mad at me for that. We call to rent a car and found if you rent it for one day it's $80 but if you call ahead it's $75 for the week end. Prices stated are from memory which is failing but they are close.

KR> Anti junk/disabled anything laws LONG
Steve and Colin You are both right. No one wants a junkyard next door, thats why there are laws like that but the reasonable man deal would work if we were dealing with reasonable people. My suggestion. Get the ACLU on our side. They are big on going to bat for minorities and scare the crap out minor polititians and annoy everyone. We are definitly a minority !

KR> Motormount/exhaust
I need some help. I have a KR-2, RevMaster 2100D, Diehl motor mount and nosewheel mount. It has Rev acc. case with starter and big blue Bendix dual mag. I also have a Greatplanes 4 into one exhaust that will not work unless I have spacers to move the engine foward. I can modify the mount or the pipes and make it work with this setup but what I need to know is if anyone out there has this setup and did you use the spacers for cg? I know the w/b is what I need and am working on it but am not far enough along for it to be accurate. I've got to change something. If I'm going to need to move the engine foward then the cowling will have to change, if I leave it at the mounts then I have to change the mount or the exhaust. Anyone need this 4 into one setup ? Hopefully someone has experience with this same setup and can save me a lot of time.

Netters How in the world do I get the blue protective stuff of my canopy ? Its only been on there twenty five years and done a good job !

I have the top half but the bottom, the latching part, has somehow been misplaced in the years and three owners since it was started. It is getting close enough that I've reserved an N#.

Thanks Paul for reminding me, It is Friday. I've got a real well built header tank that I don't think I'm going to use. It's got an inset for an Escort 110. It may one RR or someone produced and sold, I don't know. If someone wants it I'll need something to replace it + something else in trade. I don't want to just cut it out, it's to well made to just throw away. Contact rsbray at gmail.com Steve Bray Jackson, Tennessee

Netters I'm at the point to either glass or paint the wood. Larry sez to do it for strength and slick which makes sense to me. I've got some Kelvar that I don't know what to do with but not enough to do the job. Shoud I buy enough to complete the job or use glass? I haven't come up with a way to cut the stuff as yet. I've looked in the archives and only found one related message that didn't say much. My plans are old and don't say anything that I can find. Is this standard procedure ?
