One really nice KR belongs to Marty Roberts in Tulsa. He has his plane based at the airport in Jenks. If you don't find his number, contact Dan Diehl at Diehl Aeronautical, in Jenks.

He said that my problem was very common. It appears that once again I have stepped in my own pile of xxxx. While I was fighting the overheating problem, I decided to add extra oil to the case. My oil return from the turbo drains into the case. The drain hole position is the oil sump area just below the push rod tubes. With the correct amount of oil installed, there was no problem. However with extra oil (one Quart), the turbo oil return is below the oil level and would not allow the turbo to drain. The rest is history. No blown seals at all, the path of least resistance was the path past the Piston ring style turbo oil seal, into the T wheel cavity and down the exhaust pipe. Since it is apart I will change the bearings and all seals and install the new compressor wheel.

I have always done this using a razor knife or a pointed stick or.... I found a very easy way if you have a Dremel. Oh, if you don't have a Dremel that is another tip, get one. Use a small abrasive bit to do the gouging. It is fast and really cleans the foam down to the surface of the glass so the flox will be able to get a good bond.

Dana Overall's KR2S tail is an example of an elevator with the horns. See: http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/moletail.jpg The claim is that the horns enhance the KR's basic longitudinal stability. Please note that this is not intended to be a discussion of the merits of mass balancing this or any other flying surface of the KR (I fall into the camp that favors the practice, though).

Don't forget about the wide variety of aluminum and 4130 tubing that's available. I've made countless little sleeves and stuff out of different diameters and thicknesses of tubing. Most recently was a reamer extension. While trying to ream my wing attach fittings to fit the AN bolts I discovered that I couldn't get the drill in the right position to ream them (since they're already installed) due to interference with the wing skins. What I needed was an 18" reamer. I could probably find one somewhere, but since I'd just spent twenty bucks for a .3735" reamer, all I really needed an extension. The guys in the machine shop just gave me a blank look, so I measured the shank, which turned out to be .310", and ordered some 4130 tubing with a .310" inside diameter. When I got it (luckily the dog couldn't do much with the 4130) I just deburred the end and the reamer slid right in with a perfect fit. A little Loctite "high strength sleeve retainer", and I had myself a two dollar extension, 2 feet long. It works like a charm! Like Dan, I've been using a dremel tool for cleaning off the backside of fiberglass for healing edges, but I started out using one of those ghastly expensive little Dremel wire wheels. They tend to self destruct after about 10 minutes, so I eventually learned to just do the cleaning with the nub, having cut a few grooves in it to give it a little bite. I've been using the same one ever since. Those little grinding wheels are nice too, but make sure you buy them in the 20 pack, because their lifespan is pretty short too. I wish I could report amazing progress on my plane, but finishing up a big job at work (the bulletproof camper shell), Corvair College #8, the beginning of another job (a UAV this time!), and the annual reloading of all the household computers has eaten up all my time lately. The good news is that with the new computer I can check my email .03 seconds faster now...

Maybe, that great plane will still be around. It was really great to see N4DD back this year and the thought of Marty selling his plane was sad enough without it being sent out of the country.
