KR> Landing a taildragger

2012-05-06 Thread Lee Parker
Well, I finally figured out what my problem was landing.  First off my brakes were not very good so, I changed the master cylinders and that fixed that.  I was using the slight slack method on the tail wheel.  I changed to springs with very little slack and installed a tailwheel lock ( which I f

When I built my KR, I changed the cables to a push-pull tube like on the Lancairs.  I made the geomerty so you have to push or pull the elevator control futher but, I still get the full deflection in both directions. From: Dan Heath To: 'Jeff York' ; 'KRnet'

Hi! I'm an A&P who stopped flying after building a BD-4 to raise a a family, and now I'm looking at buying a KR-2 to get started as an owner/pilot again. I'm hoping someone on the list would have time to fly in to a town 100 miles south of Indianapolis to look at a KR before I fly out to look. B

KR> Diehl gear location

2012-05-06 Thread Brian and Sue Deveson
For me optimum would be the best location for taxi and landing qualities and also the minimal wind resistances. Mainly outside the propeller wash. I think Larry's would sound about right for this. - Original Message - From: "jon kimmel" To: Sent: Monday, May 07, 2012 3:19 AM Subjec

Yes, the one piece Grove does come out under the fuselage, but it uses 3 gear mount brackets and they are not from the original retract. I had one on my first KR2. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics  See you at the 2012 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il – MVN – 40th Anniver

I think we need to clarify our terms in our discussion on "control sensitivity" and "stability" in the flight characteristics of the KR2. I don't think anyone can argue that the controls in the KR are extremely light and take very little movement to effect a change in flight attitude. Having

HEY, I am not saying that the KR has a pitch sensitivity problem. I am just responding to that issue to dispel it as it is a CG problem if you are having pitch sensitivity, or you can't keep from over controlling it. I never had any issues when I had my VW on the plane with the fuel in the hea

Mark, Maybe I should rephrase that statement. I considered it to be unsafe for me and my abilities as a pilot. It could be me, and it probably is, since all the other KR2 aircraft don't seem to have this issue. The plane gets tossed around very badly, and when landing, I had to keep increasing

Dan, I'll agree with Mark L on this one. You need to stop tweaking and start flying. I also disagree on several of the stability comments lately. I've got a S model and use the entire CG range with two up. Too much fear being passed around. I seem to recall Marty Roberts and his demo flights pr

Dan, Just curious, what did you mean by " I determined it to be un-safe at that point and for now have set the Gross Weight at 1145# which puts the CG at almost 1" aft of center." Was it really pitch sensitive or squirrelly or what was it that made you decide it was unsafe? I wouldn't think y
