Ever tried thinning out Bondo with the extender and adding a lot of micro to it? Very light, hard, and smooth. Bondo is a funny thing. When it sets up, the surface is sticky and almost rubbery. Shave it with a surform and it sands very easily. I wonder why it acts like that. Daniel R.

VIDAL" Subject: Tyres Message-ID: ------=_NextPart_000_0000_01C0D2E1.99222440 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, Netters, and greetings from the best part of the Southern hemisphere. Quick questions about tires. My KR2 tires will soon need replacement. The only indications I read on the tires themselves is the size, 5x500. 1. What does that mean, physically? 2. This tire size is available on the Aircraft Spruce catalogue as either 4-ply, or 6-ply. What should I order? 3. Any recommendation for a specific brand or model? Serge VIDAL Johannesburg, South Africa ------=_NextPart_000_0000_01C0D2E1.99222440-- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 May 2001 06:59:29 -0700 (PDT) To: svidal@icon.co.za, krnet@mailinglists.org From: Frank Ross Subject: Re: KR> Tyres Message-ID: <20010502135929.8716.qmail@web4701.mail.yahoo.com> Serge, The tire (tyre) is sized in inches. The "5" is for five inch rim. I forget how the 500 is derived, but larger numbers are bigger, lower numbers are smaller, basically. Plys are the bands of cloth or metal that criss-cross under the rubber. When you wear a tire out you see the "threads" which is the plies. The more plies, the more layers of "thread". These give strength to the tire. Auto tires have four plies, but truck tires usually have six because they are expected to carry heavy loads over rocks, broken pavement, etc. For myself, I plan to buy the best tires I can get. That doesn't necessarily mean "aviation" tires though. You need a tire that can handle high-speed landings, hard braking (heat), but only for short periods. In very slow, light planes, some folk only use very inexpensive wheels and tires. You are not building a slow-landing plane, but you will probably land on fairly smooth, consistent surfaces. If you plan on landing on non-paved surfaces, you will want larger wheels and tires. Les Palmer (Dallas, TX, USA) has large 6 inch wheels and tires on his fixed tri-gear KR-2 and they look and work fine. Recently, I saw a builder put tires from a Lambretta motor scooter on his plane. These were tough tires with high speed capability. No problem. Avoid wheel-barrow and most "utility" tires, they wont handle the speed, heat and stress. Soft rubber is used in racing tires to make them stick better for better traction, but it wears very rapidly and is not practical for street use. Hard, thick rubber is used for off-road and utility purposes, but is not practical for every-day street use (harsh ride, noise) but lasts longer. Most tire makers seek a compromise. Aircraft tires can sacrifice mileage for toughness, but don't want too much traction. And, they need to handle the speed and heat. Well, that gives you some things to think about. I hope others who know more about this or want to clarify/correct some of my comments will jump right in.

The price has not changed much. I would have used Clevelands but they didn't fit the retract castings without cutting them down. Azuza wheels have cable pull brakes which seemed fine to me until a friend ran off the end of the runway with his KR and busted a prop.

E-mail him at tracy@localaccess.com . He will send you info and pictures. His C-90 brakes actulally fit inside the wheels. It's a really neat and compact set up. I got 410-350X5 Sawtooth tires, wheels, tubes (assembled and aired up), brakes, axles, and his spun aluminum wheels. $473.85 for all this and he pays shipping. It's all a work of art but then again I'm no artist. All this will hang on the end of my custom Grove spring aluminum gear leg, very similar to Dave Mullins set up. Azusa wheels would cost you $70.00 less but I sure like the looks of the spun aluminum wheels and they might weigh less.

Matco is represented along with others. I am in KCMO and we have local resources here. You may find them on the internet also.

He told me http://www.marvgolden.com I checked it out and found a passenger headset for $115 which had 24dB attenuation, which is pretty good. So I bought one. I will let you know how it works out. -- Ross ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 May 2001 18:15:54 -0400 To: krnet@mailinglists.org From: Kenneth L Wiltrout Subject: N6399U Message-ID: <20010502.181555.-95701.1.klw1953@juno.com> Just an update on N6399U. I had my FAA inspection on Tuesday, it was performed by a DAR since the FAA was entirely to busy. Any how it went extremely well. The DAR only found minor issues that required a decal or two. He only asked that I get those decals on as soon as I could, then promptly issued the airworthiness cert. For those of us that went through this ordeal, I think I can speak for all of us when I say,GLAD THAT"S OVER!!!!! 99U is based in Kutztown Pa and will under go ground and flight testing as soon as I get insurance. Hopefully by next weekend.--------------------Kenny ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Within 2 inches. Using original bellcrank setup and Diehl wing skins. I'd like to have an idea of length of push rod when aileron and bellcrank in neutral positions. I intend to use 3/8 rod with rod end bearings at both ends which would allow about 2 inches variation.

What I did to get rid of the bubbles is by dabbing the area with the tip of my brush until no bubbles were visible. I would inspect the lay-up every 15 to 20 minutes to make sure there are none. The use of peel ply also greatly reduced the "return of the bubbles!"
