Mines not flying YET, but I built in 2.25 degrees of washout. That would be a data point, except that since my plane is different from just about everybody else's, it's only a data point for ME. > Just 10 more sunrises till Mark and I head for Red Oak > in either the Tripacer or the Oldsmobile! Unless we choose the IFR fast lane and take the GTI! Folks, the Gathering is the ONE aviation event that I wouldn't miss every year. It's become more than just a chance to check out KRs. It's good old-fashioned camaraderie at it's best. It's the one time of year that I have absolutely no place else to be, and I enjoy the conversation, and the KRs are nice too. I spent the day doing odd jobs on the KR, most notably adding the counterweights to the nose of the ailerons. They consist of 3/4" 4130 tubing filled with molten lead (yielding 3.5 pounds), encased in shrink tubing, and permanently located in place with 2 part urethane foam. That job was way easier than I had anticipated. I just used a 3/4" spade bit with two 18" extensions to drill it out, then poured in the foam and dropped in the tube. See http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/03090110m.jpg if you don't know what I mean by aileron nose. I'll need to do a little carbon fiber "healing" next... See y'all at Red Oak!!!!
