Date: Wed, 06 Oct 1999 14:04:11 +0100 X-Message-Number: 1 VW-KR specialists, I would like to adapt a VW oil cooler on an O-200 type engine and I wonder if the VW cooler will support the 8 Bars (kg/cm2) of max. oil pressure. Do you know anything about it? The cooler that I bought is 290 mm long (without the fittings), 75 mm high and 50 mm wide and is made in Sweden.

From: "Stefan den Boer" Date: Wed, 6 Oct 1999 16:54:26 +0200 X-Message-Number: 4 Hai netters Over here in the Netherlands we making some progres. Last week we finished the flight controlls including the cabels. It is realy nice if jou do something on the stick and something is moving. I get smyling over my hole face. Now I have to start wite the seatback. I made it to save a lot off weight from honey comb, to get more space to work in the back of the plane I think to make the saetback removeble. Is the seatback a structure item or is it no problem to make it removeble. Maby there is somebody on the net who made it like the way I am asking. Thanks Stef. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Seat back pannel.

It's non-structural. Lots of us are making lighter seat backs, or fold down versions, so I wouldn't worry about it. Good to hear you're making progress!

From: foster schuren Date: Wed, 06 Oct 1999 13:33:51 -0400 X-Message-Number: 7 The seat in my KR has a hinge at the bottom(rear ) it folds forward to alow access to the bagage area. I should have made it in two (2) halves so that when flying alone I could pull the back forward to get into the baggage compartment. The hinge at the bottom rear has a pin that is removable. The whole panel can be removed. Foster Schuren Stefan den Boer wrote: > Hai netters > > Over here in the Netherlands we making some progres.

I don't know if by design it is non-structural but there have been enough KRs flown without it in place that obviously it need not be glued down. If you stand back and take a long hard look it appears to be a shear web of some sort right in the widest part (where its needed) of the fuselage. And the plans do say "glue it in" but then again the plans say a lot of other stuff that need not be done or undone or whatever! :o) -- zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Micheal Mims Building New Gear Legs http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/anchor/270/ http://www.evansville.net/~boeing/project_viking/ http://members.home.com/mikemims/ Aliso Viejo CA ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Alternative Woods From: Mike Mims Date: Wed, 06 Oct 1999 17:10:11 -0700 X-Message-Number: 15 David Moore wrote: > > Woops, lets try this again, > > http://www/sportair.com/articles/aircraftwood.html How about: http://www.sportair.com/articles/aircraftwood.htm -- zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Micheal Mims Building New Gear Legs http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/anchor/270/ http://www.evansville.net/~boeing/project_viking/ http://members.home.com/mikemims/ Aliso Viejo CA ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Radio kits From: "Ross R.

I remember the kit was about $900.00 US. And there were 6-7 printed circuit boards you had to build. And when you were done it had to be sent in to RST for calibration. I think it was a FCC requirement. It is probably a better idea to use a handheld with a headset. You can buy a ICOM A22 handheld (NAV/COMM) for about $550.00 US, and you don't have to build it.

I believe that you may find by not making it structural that your KR may change its shape in this area in time(ie. canopy door not fitting as it did when new). I treated my seatback as structural and very happy I did. I went pass 300hrs on N122B on the return fight from the 1999 KR Gathering.
