Hope all of You are enjoying the "Gathering"! Maybe I'll be able to join You next year! I have enjoyed all Your tips and information over the last three Years that I have been working on my KR-2. I have remained mostly silent, having only contacted a couple of you. Nonetheless, I feel a part of the KR community, and really wish I could be there (weather and all).
Over the years several people have posted on the use of Astro/Safarivan Fiberglass leaf springs for main gear legs on the KR-2. I have not been able to get into contact with anyone who has been successful with these. Does anyone have information on this? I have several encouraging postings from Peter Johnson KR-2SexyKenora, Ontario dated Apr 2, 2002 5:12 PM <http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/thread?tt=d&on=2&hit=65> He must have changed his email address as I cannot get in touch with him. I am faced with the need to change the retractable system to fixed before certifying my aircraft (it is almost done and I am out of money). It would seem that the astrovan gear could be reinforced with several layers of bid to strengthen it a little if needed. I have already acquired the 4130 plate to construct the brackets. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, and Enjoy a Safe Gathering! Marlyn Taylor 541-344-6709 Eugene, OR 97405 marly...@efn.org
