That word (I just checked) is in Merriam Webster with just that definition, so it has one mainstream. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dis However, I as a rule, dont use words that originated from "da street" within recent memory, as this word has. I'm sure I use many words that starte

Lithium batteries make great starter batteries because they are capable of much higher discharge rates than lead acid batteries for a given amount of energy stored. This one of the factors that enables users to install a much lighter lithium battery than the lead acid equivalent - a 10AH lithium b

I am sure glad we did not have Internet when I built my KR. I just went bought a tractor battery from Walmart. We're done with it. If you try to do something for everything that can go wrong you'll never fly. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 16, 2015, at 12:24 PM, Dj Merrill via KRnet > wrote: >

Brian said, > "an ETX680 battery at 4 pounds and over 12AH is all you need in a KR sized plane" Not to be cantankerous Brian but how can you possibly say something like that? A 12 Ah battery has no reserve capacity and certainly there are times when you need as much reserve capacity as possible

KR> Dissing

When my brain hears the word dis or dissing it associates it with other words which have currency in places and among people I don't cross paths with so my brain shuts off, kind of like the way I stop breathing when I'm around somebody smoking cigarettes. I've lost track completely of this discu

You know I think re-building a KR or finishing a project may be harder than starting from scratch. What are you guys using for wire rope connectors and hinges etc? Swage looks good is hand held crimpers ok? What are your best sources?

You want one like this then, it may be a bit pricey for you. But then I've found that everything in aviation is expensive. http://s366.photobucket.com/user/flightsimmer_2009/media/N4DDmodel.jpg.html Gary Wold via KRnet wrote: > I'll add a twisthow about a 'desk' model or one for self-
