Mark is right on this one. The first meeting I had with Dr. Selig and Ashok told me that we were on the right track. Ashok walked into the meeting wearing an EAA T-shirt. Their interest in experimental aviation and Dr. Seligs desire to get wind tunnel data on an airfoil he helped to design, that wasn't wind tunnel tested, laid the groundwork for our being able to get the $8,000 to $10,000 charge for wind tunnel time reduced to the $1,000. If we had contracted with the University to design three new airfoils the cost would have been something on the order of $45,000. THis would include their design time, three wind tunnel models and the wind tunnel time. TOtal contributions from KRNet were on the order of $2,000. $2,000 for a $45,000 project isn't too bad. Troy's test flights will tell us if it was all worth it or not. If it is as successful as we think it is going to be, all envolved with the project can feel very proud that they made a significant contribution to Sport Aviation.

I'm interested in anything on the Posa carb. I bought a KR2 with a revmaster 2100D engine with a posa carburator or injector, whatever. I have some trouble adjusting it for the complete range of engine power. If I adjust it for a good misture at idle, it does not have anough fuel at high revolution If I adjust it for power at high rev. its too rich at idle. So far I managed to get it adjusted in between sort of, but I would like to get the full range of engine power. Maybe there is some info in there that I can use. J.C.

How are you measuring the deflection? Is the control stick from RR also? I don't recall having any trouble getting the proper travel from my stick/elevator setup. The stick is from RR but the horn I made myself out of steel stock. I drilled the cable attach holes about 1/2 inch closer (to increase stick pressure) to the pivot point but I also have attach holes in the stock location and it worked fine there too. -- zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Micheal Mims mailto:mikemims@home.com http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/4136/ Friends don't let Friends fly behind Ivo Props!

When I started my KR, there was no way I could afford a GlasAir. The KR was the best plane for the $$ that met my performance specs. My KR is a ball to fly, but having flown and closely inspected the construction of both, there isn't much of a comparison. You settle for what you can afford.
