The above is particularly important for the spars, where individual "compartments" are formed by the pillars between the spar caps. All of these cavities must be able to "vent" to the outside of the spar. I recall that you made some super strong spars with CF between cap laminations as well as ply /CF webs front and back. If you did not know this at the time, you may have created a sealed spar. If so Nasser - consider drilling a small hole (1 to 2 mm) through the web (front or back) into each compartment. From the plans you should know exactly where each full depth spar pillar is. Maybe glue an eyelet into the hole or pull a blind rivet to seal the exposed wood and keep the opening neat and clear. These holes can be very small - pin holes would be Ok, just ensure that nothing (paint /dirt /attachment) blocks them.

I apologize in advance for asking so many questions. Can you describe your system. Are you saying that you have no waste gate?? Are you flying a Revmaster 2100D?? Do you have a manifold pressure gauge or Boost gauge. What do you get for pressure at takeoff. I'm getting about 2.5 PSI with my gate open and I have only accomplished one run with the gate closed. No matter how well my engine runs, I seem to have trouble getting it to go faster then 3100 on the ground. From past experience I know that I may get 200 more in the air, but I want to see 3600 on the tach, to know that I can reach full HP. I'm using a Revflow carb and wonder if the 34 mm venturi might be holding me back. What size carb do you run and what is your max RPM. With the draw through system does the turbo draw enough fuel to keep it from being lien and allow you to control mixture just as a normal engine would.

There are connector blocks that you can use to connect sets of wires together.

While an insulating sheild of some sort will protect the imediate area, there is still the issue of trapped heat in the rest of the cowling. A better solution IMHO is a simple "trap door" that is held closed by the flow of cooling air when the engine is running, but falls open when the engine is shut down. I saw some on a RV many moons ago, they were simple pannels that had a section of piano hinge at the forward end. The owner said before this his engine (fuel Inj lyc) was a bear to start when the engine was warm/hot. Even with the "recomended Starting procedures" after putting in the doors it was a whole lot easier to start when warm/hot.

The trap door idea is good. However my main concern is that since the turbo is nearly at the top of the cowl, and close to the right side. After shut down the fiberglass is hot. Unless the trap door was at the top, the heat would still be trapped. I need a thin thermo blanket to protect the fiberglass. I spent my airport time today reworking my baffles. I placed the rear baffle behind # 3 cylinder about one inch aft of the head so that cooling air could circulate to the back side of the head to increase the cooling area exposed to the cold inlet air. It also makes a better separator between the head and the turbo down pipe. I also reworked the right side baffle so that the stock oil cooler has more fins exposed to the inlet. After all was complete, I made a test run to check performance with the waste gate closed. Today the engine ran 3100 with 31MP with the throttle wide open. The outside MP was 29.96 Orma Southfield, MI N110LR celebrating 20 years To the gathering or bust ------------------------------ Message: 19 Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2004 17:40:59 -0400 From: Donald Reid Subject: Re: KR> sport aviation magazines on the kr To: KRnet Message-ID: <6.1.0.6.2.20040828174010.01d12058@pop.erols.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed At 05:13 PM 8/28/2004, you wrote: >just go too the eaa home site type aircraft you want. all so 23 >articles on the Kr 1. you can get old articles for 5 bucks but we have >some now it be nice to have all of them on line.

Lexington, SC 29072 Have you decided what your mode of transportation to the gathering will be? Do you remember how I am supposed to wire the turn coordinator? I thought that you had sent me something on it, but I cannot find the e-mail. I have the interface with the A B C pins, but I think you said that I would only use 2 of them and I cannot remember which is hot and which is ground.

It's shaped much like a pliers. You need to know the part number of the connector. You then need to look that part number up and it will tell you a tooling for the crimpers. I don't think I would be shopping for tools at Radio Shack. Well maybe if I was working on my T.V. or V.C.R. but defiantly not for my airplane.

Seems he's been very busy. He got his project signed off yesterday and today his baby took flight. This is the second KR he has built. He has a KR2-S tail dragger, Corvair engine, speed brake and the new airfoil. After a short hop in ground effect he lifted off and went around the pattern once before a smooth landing. He reports it flew very steadily with few control inputs needed (almost hands off)his term!!! He hopes to fly his required hours off and bring her to the Gathering, if possible. He was going to leave her with just primer, but instead, painted her and took care of the interior while waiting on the inspector. He's not on the net, but if you wish to call him with questions or atta boy's, you can reach him at 229.242.2978. Photos may follow if he can get them to me. Get it built-then go fly the thing!
