Good Morning guys, I don't know if everyone gets notification from Aircraft Spruce but a couple times a year they offer discounts. I received a New years notice yesterday and placed an order this morning and it allowed for a 5% discount on everything that I ordered. The promo code I used was: ACSNY20
A bit of an update on Dr. Deans project that had languished a bit this year. I have had a pretty darn good month since Thanksgiving. Left wing was completed, removed from the plane and now in the process of finish sanding. The fuselage was rolled around in the shop to position for the right wing build. The spars were installed with set up of the attach fittings. The ribs were installed on the root and tip. The fuel tank for the wing was fitted and at the welders for mods's. The push/pull for the aileron has been installed. The landing light is installed. Wing wiring is started. I started molding tip light lens. I also worked on checking the landing gear configuration. The gear legs and wheels had been installed when I got the project. The plane sits higher than most KR's as it is now. It actually looks pretty good like that but my new- age related issue is getting in and out of the cockpit. I have the canopy opening plenty big but that first step on to the wing in a tri-gear configuration is a bit to much. The other issue is the tires are just over 8'0" outside to outside which means it is a struggle to Jockey it thru my 8' garage door. So the solution I hope is to lower the plane by at least 2 to 3 inches and move the tires in by 2" on each side. I have a whole bunch of level and plumb reference lines on the gear legs now so it shouldn't be to much trouble. Then the last thing to complete for wing closing is the brake lines. All in all I should be glassing the right wing sometime this month. There a re a few recent pictures posted on the KR Facebook page if anyone doesn't know about it at https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=rand%20robinson%20kr%20type%20aircraft&epa Happy New Year, Joe Horton, _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
