Greg,
Yes, I did mean to say that KRs are certified airplanes. Actually it's a
common misnomer. KRs are certified (issued an airworthiness certificate) in
the "Experimental Home Built" category. Aircraft such as Cessnas, Pipers, etc.

guys and get yourself pre-registered and let us know if you are flying your KR

I just use an oxygen Bootle from my small torch set with a regulator and the
tube that goes in my nose. Works great but the Bootle is heavy. I am over
weight live at sea level plus 850 and work in and out of attics all day so do
not get much exercise. I need oxygen over 12500 or I get a real hea
Hi guys and girls;
During the take-off roll of Ol' Blues first flight in some time it was
obvious that it wanted to drift to the left very badly (good thing I had a
working rudder this time) so I got busy and checked the wheel alignment and
found that the right wheel was toed-in by 3-3/8 th's in

I'm sure that you mean to say that an airworthiness certificate is issued.
As home built (kits) are not certified.
About 8 years ago, I had asked if I could put on vortex generators or a
cuffed leading edge. And yes, I could put I had not asked in reference to
an LSA. It was for improving (s
I'm not sure the FAA would approve that. I think a "retrofit" would have to be
done before the KR was ever certified.

UNsubscribing from the KR is a self-inflected injury that could prove
to be painful. Precede with caution. The following instructions are

It is surprising to see that some aviators are venturing above 10 000 ft

Perhaps leading edge cuffs could be designed and retrofitted to a KR
wing thereby reducing the stall speed such as are retrofitted to some
certified aircraft to improve STOL characteristics.

"By the time you need oxygen you ability to act on that need is

Absolutely correct. That is why I will keep tabs on it with the finger
O2/blood analyzer. Just because you feel good doesn't mean you don't
need it. I have also heard of folks that use O2 just to avoid the
fatigue of fly
Stephen,
Although there is no one more skeptical of shortcomings of government than I,
please be cautious. By the time you need oxygen you ability to act on that
need is diminished. Be sure to catch it early. Just something to think about.

I always heard the story of how the FAA came up with the requirements
for supplemental oxygen being a middle aged DC-3 crew that was
"observed" during flight at altitude. I can't help but picture a couple
of fifty year old chain smoking guys that hadn't seen the inside of a
gym since they played hi
