NTSB Identification: MIA06LA006 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Saturday, October 15, 2005 in Venice, FL Aircraft: Steven W. Jones KR2, registration: N212KR Injuries: 1 Fatal. This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed. On October 15, 2005, about 1025 eastern daylight time, a homebuilt KR2, N212KR, registered to a private individual, crashed during unknown circumstances in the Gulf of Mexico near Venice, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the 14 CFR Part 91 personal, local, flight from Venice Municipal Airport (KVNC). The airplane was substantially damaged and the private-rated pilot, the sole occupant was fatally injured. The flight originated about 0940, from Venice Municipal Airport. Several individuals reported seeing the accident flight depart, though the reported departure times varied. One individual who was flying reported hearing on the KVNC UNICOM if anybody heard the signal from an emergency locator transmitter (ELT). He reported flying over the area in question (approximately 1 to 1.5 miles west of KVNC), and heard the ELT signal and saw a "debris field" on the water surface. He called the KVNC UNICOM and reported the latitude and longitude of the debris field. The pilot's body was recovered later that day, and only pieces of airplane that floated postaccident have been recovered.

Good point on the corrosion. I was reviewing Tony's Firewall Forward book last night and he described what you should do if you are using aluminum. Aluminum fasteners, anti corrosion jelly, etc. Seems like a lot of trouble to go through instead of just using copper.

Stephen >++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The 1/8"X1" piece of aluminum all the way to the tail seems a bit much. If it works for the starter current I'd at least cut it off at the battery and run just small gauge wires to the tail for any lights. As for Stephen's braid, I can't imagine what size of wire it came off of to be heavy enough to carry starting current. Also, aluminum of any kind, strip or braid, will be more likely to corrode than a shielded copper cable. Go to the hardware store and get some #2 welders cable to make your battery cables. I think it was #2 I used, I'd have to check. It is multi-strand shielded cable that is very flexible and should easily handle the load of starting. You have a fairly long run if your battery is behind the seat and your battery is going to need all the help it can get for a nice crisp engine start. I got my 1.2 hour KR fix in this afternoon. I came home singing "It's a great day for flying around, It's a great day for leaving the ground, la da da, da da da da da."....................:-) Larry Flesner _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to KRnet-leave@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2005 09:45:45 -0600 From: "Pat Driscoll" Subject: Re: KR> AS504x airfoil To: "KRnet" Message-ID: <001301c5e6d6$faf70650$0500a8c0@PREFERREE6A566> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Mark L. has the prints on his website.
