To: KRnet Message-ID: <20050314214323.86320.qmail@web51409.mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Thanks Mark, Since the center spar is already done, nice work too, I was thinking that I would build the new 15% KR-2S wing without the foam spar extensions. This will mean that I will have a little less wing area but I don't see that as a problem. The goal for this KR will be to build it as light and simple as possible, simple day VFR with just enough fuel for 3 hours, or so, of flying. Although I have been thinking about adding a small aux tank in the right wing stub that can be transferred to the main tank, even 4 gallons would add a little more air time for those intermediate range trips. I've spent a lot of time building freeflight models and R/C gliders so I understand how to build light. One way is to keep all of the glue joints tight and use only the right amount of adhesive. It's amazing how quickly the glues and excessively wide bond lines add weight to the finished product. Same for epoxy and cloth, use just enough to wet the cloth out and not a single drop more, epoxy is heavy! I'll be using a single center stick, nose gear and very simple avionic's. I'll will have to be careful with the ounces that I add in order to save a few pounds in the completed plane. Should I order the 2S plan supplement sheets. The firewall is complete and I'm going to use a 2180 and not a heavier motor so I don't know if there will be any useful info for me in the extra 2S drawings. Thanks ...

(I can't remember the URL where I got this info, or I'd post it also, but it was written by a 747 pilot.) The Aviation units update many times more per minute than ground or marine based units. You can test this by taking note of your location (in your car), then turn a corner and head into a new direction and see how long it takes your GPS to update to your new direction / location. Typically you'll notice a lag between the time that you turn, and when the GPS actually updates. Because of the lag time, Marine and ground based units are not recommended for aviation use. The next and maybe more obvious difference is in the databases. Aviation unit databases are far different than a Marine unit. Not to say that you couldn't easily update the database for aviation use, but that's a whole new subject... Maybe the reason Oscar is having difficulties, is because he's switched continents, he may be right on the border of what the satellites can "see". Oscar may need to update his service to change which satellites his GPS is "reading" from.

I guess I'd better check what mine is set for now that I'm using it in the KR. I may be there already !!! :-) Larry Flesner ------------------------------ Message: 21 Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2005 22:07:47 -0600 From: "Mark Langford" Subject: Re: KR> KR2S plans To: "KRnet" Message-ID: <007501c52914$8c28dc60$1202a8c0@1700xp> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Dennis Mingear wrote: >Should I order the 2S plan supplement sheets. Absolutely. Lots of details that were left out of the KR2 plans, as well as improvements. Certainly worth 75 bucks in the grand scheme of building a KR anything. They are basically a sheet or two to add to the manual and several large drawings. They could stand to be much better, but then they would cost much more. Info available at http://www.fly-kr.com/kr2s.htm . It's sort of interesting that not many people are referred to this link, but it is the offocial Rand Robinson web site.

I have recently moved to Oregon and I am wanting to find a plane and get started soon. I would love to talk with someone who has been there and done that. It would be great to see a flying KR if anyone has one around. I am located in Eugene, OR. I go up to Salem and Portland all the time, so if anyone wants some company, let me know. It is time to put the ultralights away and get something bigger to play!!!!
