Anyone using a Stromberg NA-S3 on a VW engine?
I have never scrutinized the plans that closely to notice where on the arm the
weights are supposed to be attached but years ago when I used to fly with a
friend in his KR2 ZS-WEC, his weights were in fact airfoil shaped like mini
wings and acted almost like spades in aerobatic planes it handled
Hi Sid
I personally think that covering that gap is a good thing from a safety
point of view.
We recently had a KR go down killing its occupant and the only clue they
could find was a dead bird on the runway.
It is assumed that the bird went into the gap between the wing and the
counter balance arm
N56ML's ailerons are balanced across the entire nose, by filling a 4130 tube
with lead, then hogging out the nose foam with a dull spade bit, slathering
it up with epoxy and micro, and then encapsulating it in place with carbon
fiber on the ends. I guess I did that in such a hurry (it was way t
Kr friends.
I was wondering how many space you all have between the counterweight And the
egde of the hole in the aft of the aft spar. To prevent a aileron jam I am
thinking about 10 mm space around it.
Wat do you guys have ?
Thanks
Stef.

Excellent point Dene. ?I noticed that many builders put their counterweights
below the counterweight arm so in normal cruise it is just below the wing skin
in the air stream and the recess for the counterweight is open when the aileron
is fully deflected up. ?I put my counterweights on top of th
The counterweights on my KR are covered with fairings that were molded over
plastic Easter eggs from Walmart. Completely covers the hole in the bottom of
the wing.

The gap around the aileron counter weight on my KR-2 is 1/4-inch at the
closest point where the weight comes through the wing skin. The arm goes
through the middle of the trailing aux spar; closest clearance on the arm is
1/8-inch. The counter weights are flatter and wider than the plans to ke

On east/west trips I always find myself crossing the Rockies about 50
miles south of Taos. I routinely cruise at 13.5 and 14.5 and use my
homebrew O2 system which I described in previous posts "Flying High."
That should be more than adequate. ?I haven't looked at mine in a number of
years, but doubt that I have that much clearance. ?Just satisfy yourself that
the counterweight can not touch or bind under any circumstances.
BTW, your construction work looks really nice. ?Love the work on your wing ti
