KR> KR1B motorglider criteria question

2016-07-11 Thread Kayak Chris
OK regarding the weight. I put 800lbs as a *gross* weight because I believe thats what the FAA criteria formula is based on, but not sure. The lightest KR (a 1.5) on the spreadsheet is 525lbs empty with a VW. I weight almost 200lbs. Fuel will be at least another hundred. That's 825 right there. I

The goal with a self launched sailplane is glideslope and low stall speed...so high aspect ratio and low weight. The engine we selected back in '82 was a kfm 107...25 hp at 40 lbs. You could do a max gross of under 500 lbs with an engine like that. https://sites.google.com/site/mykr2stretch/ htt

It will weigh 800 lbs if you put a Lycoming O-720 on it. John In a message dated 7/11/2016 3:48:08 P.M. Mountain Daylight Time, krnet at list.krnet.org writes: At 03:33 PM 7/11/2016, you wrote: >if gross weight of say, 800lbs, what would the span need to be? +++

I think its 27ft. ?but what I was getting it is FAA compliance to legally be a motorglider, which does not require a medical for example like LSA, ?and would allow retracts, cockput adjustable prop pitch, etc. and no altitude limitation. just curious if the kr1b complies.? Sent from my T-Mobil

The KR-1B wingspan is 27', empty weight 484 pounds, and gross weight 800 pounds. According to the previously mentioned rules (assuming they are true), that means a max weight of 452 pounds, whether gross or empty, which is less than either of the advertised numbers. Mark Langford ML at N56ML.c

My assumption is that they are talking gross weight. We did a powered sailplane design as my senior design project in college...but I don't remember any details...long long time ago...found a great little 2 cylinder engine that weighed next to nothing. https://sites.google.com/site/mykr2stretch/

I noticed that nvAero now offers the KR1B motorglider wing plans. The FAA specifies the criteria for a plane to be considered a motorglider and the main one is: "The maximum weight to wing span squared w/b squared ) does not exceed 3.0 kg/ma (0.62 lb./ft squared )" http://www.faa.gov/documentLib
