Ivan told me the engine is a 2.5 liter forged crank, special ground cam (for torque curve), and two Webber 2 bbl. carburetors. Ivan has the engine in a tailwind, says all up it weights 300 lbs. and dinos at 150-160 hp. He's got 400 hrs. on the conversion and says he has had no problems.

Change ahead... Teleport is dropping majordomo mail lists in favor of a new list server called "lyris". The change will be effective 1/1/99. This means that sometime between now and then, things will change a bit regarding KRNET-L. This is all I know for the moment... watch for future ADMIN notices in the next week. I hope to read all about the stuff and get the list transfered over the Thanksgiving holiday. I hear lots of good stuff about lyris. There is some web support for it, so PERHAPS you can add/remove/post via a web form. Again, I will have to check into this. The good news is we are paid up for 12 more months thru 11/99 so whatever happens, you can be sure to have a mailbox full of KRnet related messages next year. For the new members who just joined. I apologize for the delay in processing some of your requests. I'm thinking I could use some admin assistance, and may be emailing some of the die hard Netters to see if they are interested in helping out once a month by logging in via the internet and fetching some krnet admin mail. 1400 emails today was a lot to sift through. Many are bounced messages though, but it takes time to find them, and cipher through them. I'm hoping Lyris (our new software) will help take care of this. Also... I have spent so much time on big jets flying back and forth to San-Jose California, that I'm thinking I would be money ahead to buy a C-172, or a Beech Sierra, to fly back and forth in.

Dr dean: Mine are 80" long and 2" wide at the center The taper is also not stock (3/4" at ends). They weigh 13 oz, 1 lb 1 oz and 1 lb 2 oz. In case you are wondering why the spread. There was a lot of variation between the pieces. I had two sets of untapered wood and they weighed from 1 lb 2 oz to 1 lb 12 oz. I took the lightest three. I usually weigh all wood I get and accurately measure it width and height with an electronic calipers. Then I measure the weight accurately. (I know some one might think that I am being anal rententive but I might add that I am collecting all this data for my PhD thesis ;-)) I have found that the spruce, I have, has a density from as low as 24lbs/cu-ft to as high as 34lb-cu-ft. I have gotten wood from both AS&S and Wicks. The spars are from Western Aircraft Supplies and have a density of 29 lbs/cu-ft. I read somewhere that 29 lb/cu-ft is the right density. One other observation. I had to store the wood for the summer in my hangar. Half of it was stored in a dessicated and sealed wooden box and the other half wrapped in saran wrap. There was no appreciable difference in weights after four months. We did have a VERY hot and dry summer and I had varnished the edges with T-88. Hope this helps.

I got my spars from Western Aircraft Supplies last week. Before that I used to think that the wood grain of the spar caps should be vertical. All the ones I got have horizontal grain. My concern is that the WAF through bolts might exert enough pressure to open up the wood layers. Is there a definite reference out there on this issue. Any answers will be appreciated as I plan to start work on my spars in next few weeks.

According to ANC-18, Design of Wooden Aircraft Strutures, it makes no difference. The material property data has two basic configurations, load applied parallel to the grain and load applied perpendicular to the grain. Acceptable design of bolted attachements, when the load is applied parallel to the grain, is based entirely on the crush strength of the wood. - -- Don Reid Bumpass, Va. mailto:donreid@erols.com KR2XL at http://www.erols.com/donreid/kr_page.htm Ultralights at http://www.erols.com/donreid/usua250.html ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Nov 1998 05:32:13 PST From: "Oscar Zuniga" Subject: KR: tach drive Anybody know if a mechanical tach drive can be adapted to the VW engine?

Ross, Planning to buy or build? I have a KR-2 through the tub stage and my wife has allowed, ha, me to shop for a 4 place too... I have done alot of research on 4-6 place planes, manufactored... and I have looked into a homebuild... for the money, I think I'll go the BD-4 route... good support, can be stretched into a 5 place, lots of speed, lots of options on engines. And, the plane looks simple to build... I'll begin mine in the Spring.

Oops, then you won't need that 4 place spam can. :o) Remind her that the KR is merely a boat that can easily exist under the wing of the spam can in the hanger. :o) You never really meant to fly it. It is just a test of you creativity. Jeff Scott - Los Alamos, NM ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I have one on my Continental that has a rotating magnet and two wires wires that go from the pulse generator to the tach. You could just as easily use a set of magnets most anywhere to generate the pulses. Another option is to use a pulse driven tach that uses the pulses from the points or "P" lead. No battery power needed. I think I have one of those sitting out in the garage although it isn't the full sweep version. Seems to me that I saw some full sweep versions in the Westberg Instruments Catalogue.
