I will have the final DAR inspection Thursday and expect to fly by next weekend! As soon as the Stang goes out of the garage one of the KRs will go in and I will start the Grove gear conversion.

It sure is a lot harder to get things done now. But fortunately it is mostly finial assembly and rigging. I bought a Staples freight scale this week that goes to 400 #. I checked it with some know weights and it seems to be right on and reliable. I took three weights at each wheel with the plane all leveled up. The left wheel is 257#. The right wheel is 251#. And the Nose wheel was 198#. The grand total is 706 LBS empty weight. This is also with unusable fuel in the wings and header. At this point the plane is essentially complete, painted,wheel pants,spinner,and oil. I'm a pretty happy guy this morning as I have been planning on 735 to 750. On the bad side the scale's were less than friendly to the pilot by adding more than 10 lbs to his known weight I'll check the C/G numbers out latter today when I find time to see if I built a useable airplane.

One for $137 and one for $149.The girl at the store was not familiar with the cheaper one so I got the more expensive one. It does have a pretty good steel tray and total height is only 2 1/8" Good luck Joe Horton, Coopersburg, Pa. joe.kr2s.builder@juno.com ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2005 00:15:04 +0200 From: Serge VIDAL Subject: KR> Talking about plugs... To: KRnet Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" By the way, could anybody tell me what the correct spark plugs would be, near sea level, for my VW 2.4 liter Type 4, knowing that I run two plugs per cylinder (1 large diameter, one small diameter? I removed the plugs this winter for engine preservation, let them sit on top of the engine, and they now are just a crust of rust, so I need a new set. I was previously operating the aircraft at high density altitude (Johannesburg, South Africa) using N7YC for the pig diameter.

O.K. Peter, lets try this: If you stand at the tip of the wing, looking towards the fuselage, the first rib you see is a 3/8 wooden rib. That one is 36 inches long.Let us label that one "A" The next rib you will see is made out of 2 inch foam (B) The next rib (C) is also made out of 2 inch foam. (D) is also 2 inch foam (E) however is just 1 inch foam . (F) and (G) are wooden ribs, 48 inches long and are part of the center wing. (B), (C) and (D) are equilly spaced You then put a very straight board with sand paper attached on (A) and (F) and start sanding and sanding and sanding.! When finished, the ribs (B), (C), (D) and (E) will have just the right shape. Hope this helps, good luck. If you have more questions, feel free to contact me off line.
