I can't get in touch with him either. If you have have any luck let me know. Brad Stone Madison, Ms. The project is coming along slowly, I travel a great deal but enjoy working on the plane. The gear legs are 35 layers of uni glass (I think?) wrapped by 2 layers of bid. If I can help more let me know.

We are putting a lot more under the cowl of this KR, than I had on the Little Beast and I did not realize how tight everything is in there until I tried fitting another ignition and cabin heat under the hood.

The internal changes I spoke of make corrections that do not require any airframe re-construction, but only require the actuation methods and ratios to be adjusted. This is very simple and have been used by MANY builders in one form or fashion for years. One right way of doing things. Other builders have added to the horizontal and vertical stabilizer areas without adding to the control surface, increasing the stabilizer effectiveness. Based on pilot reports this works well also to tame the KR down some. However, so that builders know they have choices and choose what is best for their application, by increasing the size of these surfaces it has an effect on how rapid the response is from the elevator or rudder. Increasing the size of these surfaces has the effect of making it harder to move the tail around which adds to stability but also slows the response from the elevator and rudder, which is how it "corrects" the pitch sensitivity. At speed this is good. When slow, I prefer the fabulous elevator authority that I have with the original KR. Since in my opinion pitch control is the single most important control that you have, having authority literally all the way through the point of a stalled wing gives me a great deal of comfort. I chose not to change the effectiveness of these controls, simply their actuation ratios, mainly decrease the elevator, and increase the aileron, no change to rudder, to make the airplane more fun to fly. All surfaces still deflect the same amount as designed and have the same authority. Each builder will have to decide for himself what is best for himself. As in each plane style and design, there is more than one right way to do it. crainey1@cfl.rr.com http://kr-builder.org/Colin/index.html KR2(td) N96TA Sanford, FL Apex Lending, Inc. 407-323-6960 (p) 407-557-3260 (f) crainey@apexlending.com ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2005 06:47:04 EDT From: BEARLKBOB@aol.com Subject: Re: KR> Re:Michael Mims Gear legs To: krnet@mylist.net Message-ID: <1eb.39710ed6.2f98dea8@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Brad,( AND OTHER NETTERS), Thanks for the email.

Modifying the linkage is great (I've built in four different ways to change the ratio of stick deflection to elevator deflection) for dealing with pitch sensitivity (I think Glasair did exactly that), but you'd be fooling yourself if you thought you could take a plane with insufficient tail volume and make it as stable as one with ample tail volume. Tail volume also helps maintain that stability and control over a larger CG range. Of course if you don't have a header tank behind the firewall, and your fuel is in the wings, AND your CG is in the right place to start with, this is a non-problem. I decided to make my horizontal stabilizer longer about ten years ago, after doing the tail volume calculation. I'd seen a list of horizontal tail volumes listed in Pazmany's "Light Airplane Design" book, and if I remember correctly, the KR2 was not only lower than the lowest one on the list, it was a fraction of it! That's when my tail got longer. In hindsight, just lengthening the fuselage one bay would have accomplished the same goal and would have had a slightly lower drag penalty (this describes Larry's plane), but that's a little harder to change now. I think this all goes back to building what you want. Some folks like twitchy fighter planes, and some folks like stable "go-place" airplanes. I fit in the latter group...

My position is and always has been that we are all collaborating to assist builders in constructing the safest airplanes that they can. My purpose in contrasting the different developments was to assure builders who have done like me and purchased nearly complete aircraft, or are nearing completion, that they need not begin major surgery on their planes in order to fly with the least amount of risk, and the greatest enjoyment. If a builder has not completed his boat and wings, then by all means, lengthen the fuselage the entire 16 inches of the longerons as supplied, as Mark stated he should have done during that phase. Get copies of the new wing plans from Mark, and build them also, adjust the angle of incidence as prescribed by both Bill Clapp, and Mark Langford, and you will have a much nicer plane. Incorporate as many of the other enhancements that builders have come up with that suits you. My remarks of doing less are mainly for the builders in similar positions to myself to know that with a few select things accomplished, they can have a very enjoyable plane to fly. The most important point in all of this cannot be stressed more, and that is that a pilot/builder MUST keep the CG in the range that it belongs, preferably the first 4 inches, but must be the first 6 inches (the last 2 inches are too far to the rear all have agreed). This is in all conditions and flight attitudes, and all weights. A doubter only has to read the NTSB report of a C172 pilot out of New Smyrna Beach Airport that loaded up his family for the holiday, after weighing everyone at the FBO, and did NOT perform a weight and balance check. He was 100 pounds UNDER the maximum allowable weight for the model, but had 150 pounds too much weight in the baggage area (he thought you could combine placards of floor and hat rack totals). After lift off climbout gradually came to a stop out of ground effect and the aircraft stalled into the swamps just north of the Indian River.

To: "'KRnet'" Message-ID: <001e01c546ee$044c30b0$6702a8c0@mycomputer> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" This evening after work, I took C-GDPU up for the 2nd time the 1st time was for 1 circuit as the engine was backfiring slightly. This time I circled the airport at 2000 feet for 1 hour to get used to it. My weight at takeoff was 900 lbs., to fly level took a little bit of down trim. The only problem I am having is getting used to the rudder sensitivity on rollout. I ground looped it causing slight damage to the trailing edge of the left wingtip. Robert Pyra told me that I touched down nicely and just overcorrected on rollout.
