Re: KRnet> Composition of a KR 2 with Subaru EA 81 engine

[tinyauto--- via KRnet]

You should sell the engine to a vintage Subaru collector.  I have a friend who 
has been trying to piece an EA81 together and he says the parts are very 
difficult to find.  Strike one!  Next to develop full power, the Subaru has to 
turn too fast requiring a reduction.  I have a friend who rebuilt his Subaru 
powered airplane 3 times and finally gave up.  I believe that to be common.  
Strike two.  I know there was a Subaru engine aircraft conversion company that 
sold engines.  Not real successful with that.  I know there aren't many Subarus 
engines flying.  Strike three.  I think the engine can be made to fly but there 
are better alternatives.  Good luck!

KR>Re: Sam Bailey KR1 Flies again - Second try

[tinyauto--- via KRnet]

Wouldn't that make it worse?  The shorter the stick the less travel you have 
for the same movement.  I would think if the stick was 3 foot tall it would be 
better, but not practical.

My only suggestion would be to cut at least 3" off the stick.

Re: KR> Windshield

[tinyauto via KRnet]

Again.  Using the term "plexiglass" and "lexan" are brand names from the days 
owned by GE.  The actual name is "acrylic"and "polycarbonate" and using this 
you can buy several different brands of the product.  Often cheaper!  Acrylic 
is clearer and tougher, but breaks easier.  Lean can be bent in a sheet metal 
brake, but scratched easier and gasoline is not a friend.  Sent from my Samsung

Re: KR> KR''s for sale

[tinyauto via KRnet]

I had a friend who built several airplanes in his lifetime.  He HATED to fly.  
He used aircraft construction as a way to satisfy a creative desire.  I think 
there are a lot of people like that.  Not everyone likes to fly.  I had a 
friend who wanted to fly so badly he went through many hours of training and 
even bought a Taylorcraft flying it many hours.  Suddenly he put the Tcraft up 
for sale and that was the last he flew.  Asking him what happened he said he 
had to be honest with himself.  Flying scared him.  He thought with time the 
fear would go awayit did not.  This may explain some issues of abandoned KR 
aircraft.

This is in response to some interest in a one piece wing. First and foremost, 
do you have room to build a one piece wing? I figured if I had the room for a 
super stretched KR2s I could build the wing in the same building. Some of the 
questions were about transpiration. Trust me that was the least of my problems 
on this project. It took about four hours to loud and unload fuselage and the 
wing. Check out the pictures on my link.

Re: KR> New KR-1 Builder Checking In

[tinyauto--- via KRnet]

Tim,  Sounds like a fun project.  I am one of those guys that think all KR's 
are KR1s as they are just too small for a normal size American person.  I 
bought the KR1 plans several years ago and was planning to build with a small 
inline engine like the Yamaha snowmobile engine and put fixed landing gear 
under it like a RV3.  I would like to see some photos as you go along.

Subject: KR> New KR-1 Builder Checking In

Well folks, after many years of dreaming and planning, I am finally working on 
my KR-1!
 I picked up a project from Portage, WI, and hauled it back here to OSH, where 
I live and work at EAA. It is currently sitting in my garage on the retract 
gear, with a HAPI conversion installed, and the foam and fiberglass had been 
started, but was not acceptable. I have spent the past 2 weeks removing all the 
foam and glass from the structure, so basically it is now in the boat stage 
with center section. I also have the outer spars and aileron wood strips and 
hinges, and most of the metal parts and pieces too, so it is a good start. 
The previous builder had obviously seen Ron Scott's "Ol' Ironsides" airplane 
which was based here in WI, or read the articles about it in Sport Aviation, 
because it has fiberglass sheet for the sides and bottom instead of aircraft 
plywood. EAA now has "Ol' Ironsides" in storage so I was able to look it over, 
and it is the same construction exactly. I am just going to leave it, rather 
than try to remove the fiberglass sheet down to the wood structure, which would 
probably damage it beyond repair if I tried to remove it anyway.
I purchased a set of plans from Jeanette Rand back in 2009, so these might be 
the last KR-1 plans that she personally sold. I will use the new airfoil, and 
am pretty sure I will convert it to fixed gear. Any KR-1 flyers that have 
actually used the retract gear and like it? I have read all the posts about it, 
so if I do keep them I will change the latching system in some fashion.
My goal is to have the lightest KR-1 possible, using Ken Rand's original 310 lb 
empty weight as my target. No starter, bare minimum equipment (have nav/strobes 
though) and probably MGL instruments with a tablet and Icom A24 handheld radio.
Any advice, comments, and especially real-world experiences welcome!
Tim Hoversten

The front was rebuilt and the nut was taken off. The guy who did it said he 
tightened the nut to firm stop then backed off a half turn. It does swing 
very freely. I had a suspicion that might be the case.

Mark,
I chased this problem for several years after the first few years having no 
issue. The easiest and most effective solution was just to simply tighten 
the bottom pivot nut. Mine is tight to the point that the center return 
springs just barely return it to center. In fact it may not return to center 
if it is static sitting up off the ground. It does center in flight and it 
does center during taxi operations.
Hope this helps
Joe

After several months (actually since late January) I flew N886MJ again 
today. The new owner who lives near me had been doing several modifications 
such as installing dual controls, adding a gascolator, installed a right 
left fuel selector as in a Cessna, new brake masters and rebuilt front axle 
and bearings and changed the fuel pumps to a parallel set up and some non 
mechanical changes.  Anyway, it was a great feeling to fly N886MJ again. 
Everything the new owner did checked out good. The only problem was that on 
landing the front wheel shimmied which it had never done before. We will be 
taking the assembly apart and going through it to look for wear, etc. Any 
ideas would be helpful. Like I said the previous 643 landings never even 
produced a hint of a shimmy.

Was  planning for some air-to-air photos of N6242 this Spring.  An EAA  
Chapter member said he could fly the photo ship using his Tri-Pacer.   On 
January 28, 2017, while attempting to return from a lunch fly-out at  GED, 
Georgetown, DE, he had an in-flight fire seconds after leaving the  runway. 
He set it back down on the same runway and jumped out of the  Tri-Pacer 
while 
it was still rolling on the runway going about 30 miles  per hour.  He hit 
the pavement on his feet, but slammed into the  pavement face down.  He 
sustained a broken nose, broken bone on an  eye socket, throat and lung 
damage from inhaling smoke and flames, 1st and  2nd degree burns on his 
face 
and scalp. Appears he will recover from those  injuries; long term damage 
is 
unknown.  The Tri-pacer coasted to a  stop in the grass next to the runway 
fully engulfed in flames.  About  2 acres of dry grass also burned before 
the 
fire department put it  out.  The white stuff is foam from putting out the 
fire.  I  don't know any further info as to the cause.
Looks like the air-to-air  photo shoot will need to wait a bit  longer.

Re: KR> KR 1 project

Well I must say Dennis is building very different from what is normally  
seen.  The photos bring up a lot of questions.  You may have mentioned  it 
before, but is the sides of this fuselage fiberglass instead of  plywood?  Also 
are the rib to spar shelf brackets temporary?  Neat  canopy.  I am thinking 
this guy has built things other than airplanes  before.  Great that he is 
building in a basement just like me!!   Probably shouldn't have invited him 
to this group as it may corrupt him.  I  like that he has done so much 
without feedback, that he is building trike gear,  and that he is building the 
best KR.  A KR1.

The  folding wing is a one man process: remove the pins, pull the wing 
panel  outboard (it is spring loaded) and rotate it to the rear.

It will fly  with a 2si 70 hp two cycle water cooled engine.  The 
builder is this  far along in just 13 months and hopes to be flying by 
midsummer.  I'm  pushing him to make Lee Summitt but that will be a 
stretch so to those  attending, this will be your last chance for any 
trophies.

I  encouraged Dennis to join the net so you may be able to e-mail him 
direct  in the near future.  Just don't slow down his building.
