You have a female mold to do your layups in/on. 2.) You have a controlled environment to work in. 3.) You have access to radiographic or X-Ray inspection processes. 4.) autoclave The biggest problem when using hoeycomb is that the honeycomb tends to absorb the epoxy, either crushes, or cuts the laminate fibers, or moves around during the curing process. Big aerospace companies that use this stuff have propreitary processes & materials to counteract these tendancies. So unless you have access to these types of facilities, stick to the proven processes outlined on the web and builders manuals.

I started out using using a tube for the elevator, but found it was too long and had too much flex. I tried to use guide blocks, but found if it was close enough to guide it ,it was prone to binding.The longest run for my aieloron rods is 3'-6"(stick to bellcrank) I am using 5/8"x.032 wall 4130 tubing. This will weigh more than the all cable system, But I like the way it feels. I think the only way to get a stiff elev. rod would be to make one out of carbon fiber with a fairly large dia. (2"?). I can't see a good reason to use rods for the rudder. Hope this helps, Jim Sporka ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard.Cowles" To: Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 12:00 PM Subject: KR> Control Rods Hi All, Has anyone used a complete control rod system for there KR?

It used different brackets, but actually bolted through the same holes as the retract did. The conversion, except for fairing in the bottom of the fuselage only took about 4 hours. As stated the gear attached to angle castings, which bolted to the spar after a doubler was attached. I have a KR-2 bolt which is on Diehl gear. It is strong, springy and has a wide track. I honestly believe it is well designedd and built. Once burried in the center section, it is hard to get to if for some reason (Martin Roberts giving rides to big guys) you might need to get at it for inspection, service or repair. If, for some reason I might want to service or replace it, the gear that's under N110LR can be dropped from under the fuselage by removing the Hyd lines to the brakes and removing 6 bolts. I've been an aircraft mechanic since the age of 19, and I'm now 55. I have great respect for things that can be easily dissambled and repaired after manufacture.
