KR> Need a source for Rivets

What kind of rivets are needed? Vansaircraft.com would be a good place. I have plenty left over from my RV7 project. Gary Soli Deo Gloria -Original Message- From: KRnet [mailto:krnet-bounces at list.krnet.org] On Behalf Of Dan Heath via KRnet Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2014 6:39 PM To:

KR> Need a source for Rivets

AS is out of the rivets I need, and I found it impossible to order anything on Wicks web site. Does anyone know of a reliable source for aircraft grade rivets other than these two? Thanks, See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics Peoples Choice

Did you try calling them on their 800 number?? What rivet are you looking for?? Specs.? I honestly don't know of any rivets that are "aircraft grade"..? Monel, stainless with stainless mandrel, steel etc.? What kind of material are you riveting? On Wednesday, May 21, 2014 6:39 PM, Dan Heath via

Static balancing controls is always a safe addition to the plane, but is still an addition of weight. It's probably worth noting that the plans do not call for static balancing the elevator. I have flight tested the original design elevator to 225 mph IAS with no indication that it might flu

I use a electric 'squirt gun' primer, can't remember if it came with or I added it later - doesn't prime the Ellison, squirt goes into top of manifold (Soob EA81) On 5/21/2014 8:29 AM, Lawrence Bell via KRnet wrote: > Dan, how do you prime the Ellison, with a can of primer? > Larry Bell > > > On T

Yes, the EFS-2 is perfect for the VW and that is what I tried to get accross to Ben Ellison. He stated that the reason is because builders see the Revflow and AeroCarbs being cheaper and think they are getting the same thing, so they didn't buy the Ellison. Thus. Regarding the Rotec, I ha

I do it just like Mark L. does. I tee off the fuel line that is under pressure from the fuel pump/s, into an electrically activated solenoid. (available at AS) That diverts some of the fuel thru small copper lines, directly into the intake manifolds. You can do it by going into one or both ma

"Dan, how do you prime the Ellison, with a can of primer? Larry Bell" My GP 2180 with the Ellison is primed with a normal aircraft prime knob. Two or three squirts with a cold engine and it has always started instantly. Hot, it needs no prime. With Steve Bennett's top-mounted manifold fuel dist

I have also used the zenith for a number of years and found it to be very reliable and predictable. On my new KR I started with a Revflow, but never could get it to run consistently. I did have the Tornado device behind the carb. I tried a number of different needles, but it would stumble somewh

Sid, What is the objective, to center the elevator with no stick input? Wouldn't springs do the job or would that make control too stiff? Larry Bell On Tue, May 20, 2014 at 10:27 AM, smwood via KRnet wrote: > I used 2.6 pounds on a 16 inch arm hinged on a bell crank 14 inches > forward of the el

That zenith carb sold by Great Plains is VERY suitable for VW power. I have used them on 1800 to 2200 CC engines with excellent results and reliability. Trust the experience and expertise of Steve Bennet of Great Plains. Pat Russo -Original Message- From: Mike T via KRnet Sent: Tuesday,

They work very well for low level flight, where you probably will not need mixture control. In fact, if you don?t care about having mixture control, they work very well. I have a friend who flew with one for years and it never gave him a problem. However, he never flew above 3500 feet. My
