Yup. There is a difference in annuals tailored by a knowlegeable internist for your particular health profile, and self- assessing before each flight, and a bureaucratically-driven cookie cutter government physical every two years. It was a well-meaning policy, but the former is as safe or saf

There has been lots of buzz of late about the FAA dropping the requirement for the Third Class Medical. That would allow most GA pilots to forgo that physical every two or three years. Most medical practitioners recommend a physical every year. Preventive medicine is still a viable thing to d

KR> OT: heat rejection capacity from exhaust port walls

2015-02-10 Thread Rogelio M. Serrano Jr.
Hi, Slightly OT but i don't know where to ask. Is heat absorption from exhaust port walls more significant than that absorbed from chamber walls? That means if we don't alter anything else but reduce absorption, can we see a significant drop in cylinder head temps? Maybe an effective thermal ba

Grain, on the KRnet home page go to Paul Smiths Aussie KR-2s page. Lots of good info there. Also look at Lynn Hyder's page. He mounted an O-235 in his narrowed KR2. I looked at his airplane a few months ago at his daughters house. Very nice work. I can't find his email. Maybe Mark Langford has

KR> OT: heat rejection capacity from exhaust port walls

2015-02-10 Thread Chris Kinnaman
Depends on port and chamber design of a given engine. The exhaust ports are typically the hottest areas on the cylinder head. If we're talking VWs, the exhaust port areas are designed to be fan-cooled. Thermal barriers work, so I would think a reduction in heat absorption would occur. Significa
