I have Cleveland brakes and wheels on my KR-2S, and have a 6 inch semi-pnuematic tailwheel. Larry asked if there is a smaller diameter caster or wheel available. I checked with Rider Hobby on 5 Mile Road in Livonia, MI (734) 425-9720 (ask for George) Rider Hobby is a store that specializes in large scale radio control aircraft. Rider Hobby sells 3 or 4 inch diameter semi-pnuematic wheels with either a 3/16 or 1/4 inch axle bore. The axle bore may be bored larger to accommodate a metal or oilzite bushing. Considering that the RR plans call for a hockey puck drilled out to use as a tailwheel. This just may be the ticket for a lightweight tailwheel. I'm sure your local hobby store, or one that is on-line sells the same thing. ===== Scott Cable KR-2S # 735 Livonia, MI s2cable1@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Scott Cable +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The way I worded my e-mail to scott gave him the impression I was looking for a "small" pnuematic tailwheel. Sorry Scott. I'm actually looking for a six inch pnuematic (prefered) or semi-pnuematic wheel to replace my solid 6 inch wheel on my "Matco" assy. I found it to be rather noisy during some short taxi test. My current wheel spec's are: 2.25 inches wide 1/2 inch axle 19/32 spacers to fit the 1/2 inch axle I suspect the bearings are metric as the wheel is stamped "Canada" . I'm guessing the spacers are used to reduce the bearing opening from the metric equiv of 19/32 to the 1/2 inch axle bolt. If anyone has any ideas on a good pnuematic wheel I can replace this solid wheel with please e-mail me off net at flesner@midwest.net Thanks.......

Message-ID: <000001c2b744$607d2ab0$dbf621c4@sergevidal12> Do I get your attention? I thought so. Well, that's not a joke! I did it! I made the perfect KR2 strobe! ; - ) Not conviced? Here are the specs - Flash rate: 60 per minute - Tube life: 1 million flashes - Power: well, I don't know, but definitely more than old Cessna's beacons - Weight: 98g (that's about 3.5 ounces) - Overall dimensions (box + attached dome): diameter 65.5mm (2.57 inches), height 78mm (3.07 inches) - Strobe dome dimension: diameter 38.5mm (1.5 inches), height 43mm (1.7 inches) Here is the story of that great engineering adventure. Step 1: locate a suitable strobe light There are strobes that are extremely compact, lightweight, powerful, durable and cheap. Those are the ones that are used for house alarm systems, or signalling machines operation in workshops. They cost anything between $5 and $20. Mine came from a house alarm, and cost me $6. These things look like a fairlt flat,round box. The flashing element is a small Xenon tube, that lays flat above a small, round shaped PCB. These strobes are nice, and being a simple PCB, can be easily repackaged. Step 2: locate a suitable dome Where to find a small plastic dome to fit the light in? Well, I went to the nearest supermarket, and browsed the toiletry and detergents departments in search of a cheap item that would have a container with a nice cap. I found the almost perfect size, shape and thickness on a cheap roll-on deodorant, unit price less than $1. Foul smell, but hey, I got the cap! Step 3: Repackage I could have separated the Xenon light from the PCB, and repackaged it on its own. But since I wanted to fit two strobes, at the top and bottom of the fuselage, I decided to make the unit self contained, i.e. a box with a protruding dome. I found the perfect box as a household wiring junction box (the ones that are used to join the plastic tubing on house wiring applications). Perfect size and shape, and costs less than 50 cents each. At that step, it became a collective effort. After a few trials, and heated discussions with my colleagues at work, we decided to put the PCB upside down in the box, unsolder the Xenon tube, and solder it again on the other side of the PCB, but this time vertically (soldered to the PCB on the one end, and linked to the PCB by wires at the other end and tube ring). We then drilled a hole in the lid, so that the Xenon tube points up, still attached to the PCB. Then, Epoxy the dome on the cap. Two holes are drilled in the PCB, so that the box screws can go through. The same screws will be used to mount the strobe to the fuselage skin. This is why I replaced the original screws by stainless steel ones, despite their shameless cost ($0.5 each!), to the risk of exceeding the project's budget! ; - ) Add a foam rubber weather seal, and job done! This was good enough, looked good, and was fairly cheap... But at that stage, I lost control of my strobe project, which was taken over by a perfectionist that happens to be one of my bosses, and likes to play with CNC and milling machines. So, we went one step further, and...machined another lid, made of Nylon, with a threaded protrusion that matches the thread of the dome-shaped plastic cap. What for? Well, so that you can change the dome, should it becomes cracked or damaged. Also, because that guy does not like Epoxy solutions. The final product really looks great and works great. Can't wait to fit it to the aircraft!

You can build your airplane according to simplfied JAR 23 Rules ( I guess the same as in the US with the FAR part 23). Your Authority guys will know your local requirements, you will need to do some static tests and a lot of building documentation. My KR 2S is on a temporary flight permit. Once we have 50 test flight hours completed (with paperwork) then we will get a restricted Certificate of Airworthiness. I hope this helps....

The KR2-S is not yet certified in Hungary. However, the Hungarian flight authorities do accept a Type Certificate (or Permit to Flight) issued in a foreign country. So my question is, how and from where could I get it? Do any of you have it maybe? Could you mail me a copy of it?
