KR> KR2 crash, June 23rd, Richfield Utah

2010-08-07 Thread ttcse/Tom
While de-hoarding in my storage unit today I saw an old stack of printed KR crash reports.  (I always found flight and crash reports interesting)    I was just now google-ing for more and saw this recent one, I don't recall hearing of it on the list ...   http://www.velozia.com/?p=4601   Tom    

KR> Fw: Whatever happened to videoBob?

2010-08-07 Thread Mark Langford
The Gathering is coming up soon, and it's inevitable that somebody will ask about videos of the Gathering, maybe if videos of past Gatherings were available yet, and eventually, "whatever happened to Video Bob"?. He answers that below. It reminds me of something William Wynne says often, "ev

I can't tell you the advantages of one over the other. I have the stock wing, maybe an advantage is that there are wing skins built for it that you can buy. I understand that the new wing is faster, and has more fuel capacity. I do believe that everyone who is building a KR these days, and has t

Why do you need another set of plugs? Use Bosch PLATNUM  plugs with the backup system, it is better than puting new holes in the heads. - Original Message From: Eric Evezard To: KRnet Sent: Sat, August 7, 2010 8:02:55 AM Subject: KR> 2nd set plugs Hi Dan, Thanks very much for your r

Eric, Are you talking about a VW engine? What kind of plugs, depth of the threaded area? The only place I have seen a problem, is on the VW when the plug treaded area has been bored out, to allow for the 1/2" reach of the aircraft plugs for the magneto. It is not uncommon for these to get blown
