because this plane is not 'flippable'... I thought that about mine too as my shed has 9 ft or so height in its centre, and no opportunity to do anything outside due to a steep slope ... But I achieved a "flip" by removing the engine and engine mount mount (yes a bit of work but not that much) and

Stef, Sounds like you just need something to make DCA happy. On KRNET somewhere there is an in-depth structural analysis done by someone many years ago that if memory serves should be perfect for your needs. I'm currently out of town and with a slow internet connection so cannot go looking (jus

Physically (mechanical/structural/etc) there is no difference between G10 and FR-4. The flame retardant in FR-4 is designed so that the material is self extinguishing once the ignition source has been removed. My recollection is that the UL requirement was that it stop exhibiting evidence of fl

Depends, I had a leak on my Revflow carb, turned out to just be a simple O-Ring that had hardened. Took longer to find a new one at the local airpart supplier than to fix it. Think I spent a total of 25 cents. I just started to diassemble the inlet arm and found it pretty quickly. Rob Schmit

I'm starting to like the idea of using this stuff a bit more - and it DOES seem to be the stuff I used in the Army (although the FR4 compliance is apparently less important than G10). I do have glass & west-epoxy for areas where wet-work will be required, but it seems to be just the ticket for smal

I'vw found a few suppliers for that cured panel and various other pre cured glass panels... It appears that the g10/fr4 precured sheet may well be what was used in the aforementioned helicopter repairs, so I am considering getting some very thin sheets to use for patching skin punctures and similar

2012-06-26 Thread Mark
FR-4 can be purchased in various thicknesses in the fully cured state; Google 'printed circuit laminates' or just 'FR-4 laminate'. Or you might check "printed circuit boards" or "multilayer printed circuits" to see if there is a fabricator near you and they can tell you where you can get it. (They

"Are the KR's aerobatic?" Hello Brian, The simple answer is yes. Now go beyond that and the simplicity ends. As Larry said and you implied, you are not going to go out and do any "competitive" aerobatics in a KR. And that is not because the airframe can't handle it but a lot of other reasons

Brad, In a KR size does matter. The answer is yes if they can fit height and width wise. I've flown with two on board regularly and even fly Young Eagles. It starts getting cramped though if the passenger is over 5-10' and 200 pounds in my airplane. My max allowable pilot and passenger is 37
