On my KR2 project i am missing the pitot tube and am not sure where they mount
them on the KR? No sign of any previous openings in the wings, possibly on the
belly? and what type are builders using and who sells them? Thanks... Rick.

The keyway is only there to force the pulley back onto the same

of whack after you remove and replace the hub. Finding an accurate TDC
is not as easy as you might think, without direct perpendicular access
to the piston crown. The screwdriver down the sparkplug hole isn't real
accurate.
The taper is what transfers the force from crank to hub...

I think it was at Manny, Moe and Jacks I saw a bottle of "Oil Cooler
Stop-Leak" that you just pour in your crankcase and the secret
ingredients go right to where the leak is and fixes it. It says on the
label that if it's a bad leak it might take more than one bottle.

I returned to a local KR1 project today for some photos to share with the net.

The folding wing is a one man process: remove the pins, pull the wing
panel outboard (it is spring loaded) and rotate it to the rear.
It will fly with a 2si 70 hp two cycle water cooled engine. The
builder is this far along in just 13 months and hopes to be flying by
midsummer. I'm pushing him to make Lee Summitt but that will be a
stretch so to those attending, this will be your last chance for any
trophies.
I encouraged Dennis to join the net so you may be able to e-mail him

I've spent the last few days of bad flying weather going through my
several tool boxes and culling and reorganizing all the wrenches,
sockets, pliers, screwdrivers, etc. I've concluded that a duplicate
of everything is sufficient and I culled the extra and donated to the
college students working line service, other builders, and
friends. During the process I came across one 1/4" drive 5/16" deep
well socket that was miss stamped at the factory. Something didn't
seem right and after looking it over for a bit I realized the socket
information was stamped on the wrong end. Socket info is normally
stamped on the drive end, not the socket end. I wonder if I've got a
collectors item here. After all, people pay money for potato chips
that look like Christ, seems they might like a miss stamped socket,
ya recon? Bids anyone??????

Well I must say Dennis is building very different from what is normally
seen. The photos bring up a lot of questions. You may have mentioned it
before, but is the sides of this fuselage fiberglass instead of plywood? Also
are the rib to spar shelf brackets temporary? Neat canopy. I am thinking
this guy has built things other than airplanes before. Great that he is
building in a basement just like me!! Probably shouldn't have invited him
to this group as it may corrupt him. I like that he has done so much
without feedback, that he is building trike gear, and that he is building the
best KR..... A KR1.

I don't think he said retracts. He said it had tricycle gear. Normally
these are tail draggers.

ok no retracts, duh, shoulda gone back and looked. ideally I'd like
to build a tri-retract, original size KR1, with engine back against
the firewall as original, and with a normalizing turbocharger. the
main retracts are easy. the nose can swing back halfway into a center
pocket (I think). as to a small normalizing turbocharger, tight
squeeze and heat issues. which is why it would most likely be added
later, in a phase two.
point being, I am happy to see some added complexity is possible with
enough thought and skill!

No plywood on the fuselage. Foam center with two layers of glass on
the outside and one layer of glass on the inside.
Dennis asked for feedback and one of my several observations and
suggestions was to remove the brackets and cut lightening holes in
the ribs. Several other areas of minor overbuild but overall I can't
fault his workmanship.

points so my next step is to zero one and try setting angles with the up and

No, but I'm guessing it will be a bit on the heavy side for a KR1,
even with a light engine.

The angles for all the control surfaces are in the manual. If you

page 59 of the KR manual shows 30 degrees UP and 20 degrees DOWN for elevator .
Go with what is published. Works fine.

Hi everyone. Happy new year from the Netherlands. For everybody a lot of save
flights. We hope this year it will be ours....
Today I broke the engine cowlings from the plug. We are very happy with the
result. Before we remove all the foam on the inside we have to microballoon
both And send it smooth.
I have to make a plan what kind off attach part we will use. I think along the
horizontal cut we can use a piano hinge. Vertical to the fire-wall I think we
can use also a hinge. But do someone have a picture how to do it? And also the
lower horizontal, I can install there also 4 inch.
The upper engine cowling I think we have to use quickfasteners?
All ideas or pics are welcom.
Stef
