Maybe if we keep extending olive branches she'll be a bit more receptive to updates to the plans and design. I guess I'll let her see "Two Tango" (the twin KR) ;o) Just kidding...

Have located flat slide carbs, models 42-6085 or 42-6086, retail $180.00 each, both 38MM. Would still prefer to mount carbs on top & elimimate all of the ducting from below. Hate to spend $800.00 for an Ellison. Plan to mount on a 2200 Type 4 Tnks Bob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Fw: A Special Message From: N71476@aol.com Date: Fri, 7 May 1999 13:23:59 EDT X-Message-Number: 6 Thank you I normally do not read all the messages but for some reason I read this one. Much the same thing happened to me with my grandson. He fell on his bike when His grandmother and I had him. At 11 that night we were called to the hospital. The doctor told us if he had been brought in 10 min later or had been older he would not have made it. But he told us there were others in the operating room telling him not to worry. The doctors told us none of them had told him anything they had thought he was unconchouas. And were just spending all the time they could relieving the pressure on his brain. And I know what you mean it does make you look at life so much different. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: A Special Message From: "Richard Parker" Date: Fri, 07 May 1999 13:10:12 PDT X-Message-Number: 7 Next time, before forwarding ANY TYPE of chain letter to ANYONE, think of this mailing, please. Thank you. There are four basic types of chain letters: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chain Letter Type I: Make a wish!!! (This is where you have to scroll down) Really, go on and make one wish!!! Oh please, s/he'll never go out with you!!! Wish something else!!! Not *that* either, you pervert!! Is your finger getting tired yet? You Can Stop now moron!!!!!!!! Wasn't that fun? Hope you made a great wish. Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't send this to a certain number of people in the next 5 seconds, you will be raped by a mad goat and then thrown off a high building into a pile of manure. It's true! Because, you know, THIS letter isn't like all of those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!! Really!!! Here's how it goes. Send this to 1 person: One person will be upset with you for sending them a stupid chain letter. Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be upset with you for sending them a stupid chain letter. 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be upset with at you for sending them a stupid chain letter. 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be upset with at you for sending them a stupid chain letter. 20 to 674,951 1/2 people: 20 to 674,951 1/2 people will be upset with you for sending them a stupid chain letter. Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chain Letter Type II Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no pecker. This little boy's life could be saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Starving Legless Armless Parentless Peckerless Little Boys from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund. Remember, we have no way of counting letters sent. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47 seconds. Oh, and a reminder- if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly and a mad goat will rape your dead body. Thanks again!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chain Letter Type III Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not as many little 8 year olds writing chain letters. So this is how it works. Pass this on to 1,5067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like: Queer Horror Story #1 Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the side walk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poop, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You!!! Queer Horror Story #2 Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his boyfriend (hey, some people swing that way, especially at (Oklahoma City University). They both died and went to hell. They continued to suffer in hell where they were both cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity. This Could Happen To You!!! Remember, you could end up like Pinsley and Bip did. Just send this letter to all of your loser friends, and everything will be Ok. Of course, there's the guy in Peoria Illinois who DID forward this on and then he married his secret crush, they moved to the suburbs, had 2.3 children and lived happily ever after. Right up until he started working late every night, started an affair with his secretary and boozing. Then she started sleeping with the golf pro at the local country club, became addicted to sleeping pills and their 2.3 children got into gangs and drugs. Then everything went to hell, and they got divorced. She got the house and the kids, and he got the car and child support payment, and got to keep the mortgage payment, lost his job and his car and now is working the midnight shift at the local McDonald's. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chain Letter Type IV As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one of your friends. Friends - A friend is someone who is always at your side, - A friend is someone who likes you even though you smell like a wet dog, - A friend is someone who likes you even though you're disgustingly ugly, - A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself, - A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your loser life, - A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they really think you should be raped by a mad goat and then thrown to vicious dogs, A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet and vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English, no sorry that's the cleaning lady, Now pass this on! If you don't, Satan will send dogs in heat to your room in your sleep!! There. Now that we've covered and dumped on the four main types of chain letters, onto the ironic part. In order for this to get any popularity, send it on!!! If you don't think it was funny at all, don't bother, but otherwise forward this sucker to everyone you know!! If you don't, I don't care. Thanks! Remember, the moral of the story is, if you get a chain letter, ignore it. TRASH IT!!! If it's a joke or something, send it, sure! Just don't forget to delete the chain letter part. But if it's gonna make people feel guilty (i.e. the willieless boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen) or nervous (i.e. Miranda Pinsley who ended up in a waterfall of poop), just DELETE it. Do yourself a favor, and everyone else in the world, and say NO!!! to BLOODY CHAIN LETTERS!!" Thank you. I'll get off my soap box now. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

From: KR2616TJ@aol.com Date: Fri, 7 May 1999 17:04:36 EDT X-Message-Number: 8 After April 15th and the other deadlines ending 5/31 I took this week off from work and devoted this week on nothing but the KR, man can you get some work done with the wife at work and kids at school. I completed the construction of my new aft center spar and have installed it into the airplane. As I said earlier, I raised this spar 3/4" to achieve 2 degrees of incidence. This was a simple step. I glued 5/8" spruce I ripped from the old spar onto my 3/4" blocks and glued these to the floor, bottom longerons and gussets at the exit point of the spar. I then glue 5/8" blocks to the outside per plans and reinforced the inside also. Guys, if I were you and building right now, I definitely would not go with the incidence called for in the plans. What I did was get the wing and horizontal stab within the 2 degree range that all the aviation research out there wants you to fall into. I will be installing the new WAF's from Trailing Edge Technologies, LLC. I cut all my ribs for the installation of my stub wing skins using a combination of honeycomb sandwich and 1/4" last-a-foam. I trimmed my main outer spars to the dimensions called for in the Diehl plans and glued shear webbing to both outer main and aft spars to close in the box. I also drilled pressure relief holes in the shear webbing between all the verticals. I got my new Great Plains hydraulic brakes in the mail and install new rims, tires and brake assemblies and installed them on my Diehl legs. Anyone wanting the older style Great Plains hydraulic brakes including wheels and axles let me know. Kiss the Cleveland's and their price tag good-bye, call Steve, these are some kind of brakes. I finished cleaning up the tail area for the installation of my new horizontal stab and elevator per Dr. Dean's page................thanks Richard great work. This will solve the pitch sensitivity problem while still maintaining the responsiveness we are all looking for. Well, I'm bound to have done something else but I've forgotten.........oh, I built up my strobes from the Great Plains kit. These are not the battery type from Radio Shack but will be connected to my electrical system via the wiring already completed on my instrument panel. Over the weekend I will be trial fitting my stub wings, and installing my inboard center rib so that I can level the airplane and flox on the outer tip ribs so I can reposition my WAFs on my aft center spar. You can see my new spar on the center aft spar section of the KR FAQ web page. I will also be laying some carbon fiber on the wing walk area of the stub skin. Well I thinks that enough:-) Remember guys, I did all this to an airplane that was damn near ready to fly so that I could take advantage of the new stuff out there that was not available went I started. Hint, use the resources on the KRNet, it is neither complicated nor trial and error. What I have done would have fallen into the KISS principle had I done it in the first place...................watch out he's stepping up on that soapbox:-) It'll be at the gathering!!! Dana Overall 1999 KR Gathering host Richmond, KY mailto:kr2616tj@aol.com http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanveral/Hangar/7085/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Gear From: "Robert Sauer" Date: Fri, 7 May 1999 19:04:20 -0500 X-Message-Number: 9 How are some of you closing the area around the main gear legs on the underside of the stub wing? I cut a very close tolerance hole for the gear leg, having glassed the bottom of the stub wing first. Then installed the gear leg, then glassed the top of the stub wing. Also, how many types of cowlings are available and thru what source other than RR?
