If memory serves me right, the cheapie altimiter is made in china. My philosophy on aircraft instruments is much as my philosophy on motorcycle helmets: if you have a $10 head, buy a $10 helmet. For ANY instruments going into your plane, stick a crowbar in your wallet and spend a few extra

Using a Dremell with a small rotary file works very well in removing the excess epoxy without damaging the joint. Just remember to wear a mask. ---Original Message--- From: KR builders and pilots List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Sunday, September 14, 2003 16:36:44 To: KR builders

Bill, You have no need to apologize to these people. Too many of them take themselves far, far too seriously when nobody else does. I'm sure their projects are so perfect and totally without flaw that they have earned the right to sit at the right hand of God himself. Now, for the rest of you

KR>Question

2008-10-12 Thread gleone
There is a powered sailplane version of the KR-1, I believe. If I can find the link, I'll send it along to you as the builder did a really GREAT job of building it with folding wings. Meanwhile, since most of the posts here do anything EXCEPT religiously following the plans, there is no reason

KR>Question

2008-10-12 Thread gleone
Larry, The easiest way is to spend a little extra buying longer wood. Alternatively, you could add 12 inches to the wing spars. The standard KR-1 wing is 17 feet long with wood enough to build it 17.5. Adding a foot to the spar will give nearly a 20 foot wingspan. Winglettes will work, too.

2008-10-12 Thread gleone
The winglettes become your wing tips so you're in a good position to add a couple of feet to the wings. ---Original Message--- From: KR builders and pilots List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 22:00:43 To: KR builders and pilots Subject: Re: KR>Question

KR>Ailerons / epoxy/flox

2008-10-12 Thread gleone
Another technique that works is to use a paste car wax. Liberally smear it onto the bolt threads and screw them in place. When I bed rifle actions, I use an epoxy material and the only way to keep the bedding screws (bolts, actually) from becoming "one with the action" is to use the "Turtle Wax

Spins are things you have to put yourself into unless you do something stupid like press on into IFR weather in your VFR plane. The Grumman Tr-2 has a warning about entering spins that says, basically, "DO NOT put into spins! If you do not recover within the first rotation, it is HIGHLY

Having both sets of plans, here's the difference: The KR-1 wing span is 17' 8" versus 20' for the KR-2. Both use 5/8 longerons. Firewall is 1/4. Distance between spars: Depends on when your plans were produced. I have two sets of KR-1 plans and there is a difference between the two sets. I
