Orma Yes, you want to keep to turbo and the exhaust pipes hot as you will lose velocity in the moving exhaust gas as it cools. Remember hot air is big and will shrink as it cools (not the thing you want when using exhaust pressure spin a turbo) A trick it to use header wrap on the housing and pipes this will reduce the temps out side the wrap while keeping the exhaust gas hot. I have used this wrap many times in auto applications and it is amazing how much heat it reflects back in to the exhaust. On one Honda civic B16 conversion I did the header is 1/2 inch from the radiator fan and after wrapping the header you can touch it without burning your hand. Tip soak the wrap first before you wrap your pipes it conforms much better wet. Then hose clamp the ends and soak with hi temp paint and you will have a nice insulated pipe that will hold up to the elements better.

Landing final @ 50 kts three points , no front visibility. In my opinion if you land on a long runway , at least 3000 ft. you can land slighty fast so you have better visibility but be very carefully and keep the tail up untill the speed decrease , if not you bounch many time before a complete full stop. I prefere a three point landing even if there are not front visibility, so I can land safe in my short runway ( 1800 ft.)

Ray Mark Langford wrote: As some of you know, my cowling molds have done a little traveling since I made them, and I think about five cowlings have been made from them. The resulting cowling is not perfect, but it's a big headstart, since you can't buy one anywhere. I was going bring them to the Gathering to let Dan borrow them, but since he has a Revmaster now, he won't be needing them. If somebody else would like to borrow them and pull a cowling off the molds, you're welcome to it, BUT you have to agree to either ship/take them on to somebody else who needs them or back to me. It may not be as simple as throwing them in a box and UPSing them either. I borrowed Dana's Revmaster cowling a few years back and it took a heroic effort (and about three hours) to make a box that fit the molds perfectly, in order to slide in under UPS's max size limit. I'm not sure if they've relaxed the standards or tightened them since then, but my cowling might be a tad bigger than a Revmaster (which was made for a KR2, rather than a 2S). So keep in mind that you might have to ship by truck, which might cost $100-200, but the headstart on a cowling might be worth it. You can see my cowling at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/cowling.html . The molds have the nostrils, but it's easy to delete them at layup if you want to. Again, it will not result in a "perfect" cowling like a Revmaster, but it'll get you in the air. I plan to redo mine later on as time permits, but that may be years away, if ever. But if you take these, you have to agree to take care of them and forward them to the next guy somehow (in a timely manner), or return to me. And this deal only works if you can pick them up from me at the Gathering. No charge, of course...

This fund will be used to buy props which will be available for testing by KR builders on their planes. This will enable you and the rest of us to learn from testing different props on different planes and engines. Hopefully, this will help in making that final decision on exactly which prop will best suit your needs. All of the details have not been worked out on using a prop from the prop bank but I am working on that. This program was something that Mark Langford started and has now been turned over to me. As of today, there is $575.00 dollars in the prop fund from donations by KR family members and the sale of the KR stickers. We all know that $575 will not go far towards purchasing props. Therefore, I am appealing to all of you to donate to the prop fund. This can be a money donation or a prop donation. If you do have a prop, but do not want to donate it, yet are willing to loan it out, then e-mail me with the details. Money donations are accepted via PayPal to my account which is my e-mail address flykr2s@wi.rr.com or you can mail it to me. My address is: Mark Jones 615 Wexford Circle Wales, WI 53183 Any donor props can also be shipped to the above address. The Prop Fund Bank is public information and will be kept that way. A periodic update of the amount of funds collected will be posted as well as any prop inventory that becomes available for your use. This can be a good program so let's make this work. Please make a donation.

Pity it's not a bit closer to home. You did however mention fund raising through "sale of KR stickers". Are there any still available for sale? If so from whom and for how much? I would be keen to get quite a few, as there are a few other KR builders here who I'm sure would be interested. Hope you all have a great time at the fly-in, Cheers, John.

I tried to build my rear center spar something like Mark L. did by using an aluminum angle clamped to the work table. I attached the verticals to one of the spar caps and to the spar web. After that cured I attached the other spar cap. When I removed the spar from the jig and laid it on the table I noticed a twist about 1/16 to 1/8. Can this be corrected by offset pressure over a period of time? Can the other web skin help hold it straight? Or, Should I rebuild it and chalk it up to experience?
