Barry, You make "wheel alignment" seem so casual. I am doing that now on my KR as I found one side to be very toe out. I don't find it a simple thing to do. Also, why do you need to do this? You had your plane flying some time ago, did you not?
What did you think of the Jab as an airplane? Have they fixed the cooling problems with that engine? See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2009 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Ill There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying has begun.

I just bought a Jabiru J160 aircraft in partnership with Dave, a 65 year old ex-ag pilot/instructor(15000 hours) who has not flown much in the last 20 years (only about 8 hours). We went for our first joint cross country flight last Saturday and I thought could fly smooth (I am a gliding instructor, 600+ hours) till Dave took over the controls. Man was he smooth after about 10 minutes of flying. So much to learn, I am truly humbled. Sunday I put the final coat of paint on the wings and cowl. Now just put on the rego stickers, fit the prop, oil overflow tank, radio and it's off to the airport. Assemble and wheel align then back in the air. :-) Regards Barry Kruyssen k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2 RAA registered 19-3873 Australia -----Original Message----- From: krnet-bounces+kr2=bigpond....@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-bounces+kr2=bigpond....@mylist.net] On Behalf Of M Blank Sent: Tuesday, 23 June 2009 1:36 PM To: kr...@mylist.net Subject: RE: KR> Progress Report Something I will never forget as long as I live, when I made my first solo flight, I was scared stiff, until the wheels left the ground. Once the wheels left the ground I knew in my heart I HAD to land that airplane, no jitters, nothing, just me and the O-200 purrin along. I went around the pattern and lined up on the 1700 foot long island and landed just fine. You will do just fine, remember, you've came this far, you are already a pilot. Some think that once they get the ticket they no longer have anything to learn, THEY ARE WRONG! I learn something on every flight, even if it is something small, I am still learning and have been flying since 1996. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
