Use a piece of plastic cut from a 2 liter soda bottle or milk bottle.  Won't absorb any moisture and won't allow the tube to get pinched.  Some also recommend using talcum powder as a lube.   Ron From: PatS To: KRnet Sent: Saturday, September 15, 2012 8:13 PM Subject: Re: KR> Gathering 2012 F

There are several KRs currently flying under LSA rules, legally.  Not sure why you don't think a KR can fly slower than 138 mph?  Most cruise around 125/130 unless they've gone to larger engines.  51mph stall speed is also doable in a light KR..   Other simple solution is don't register it as a

Lots of people get N numbers before they finish a project.  Not a major issue but you'll need photos and builders log showing what you did to finish the project to confirm the 51%..  You might want to talk to your FSDO before buying it and possibly show them what stage the build is now..   Ron

Just do it all on a set of scales without ever going flying.  Move the weights around and do all the calculations you want to with no danger of crashing..  You can even add/drain fuel to expand the range..  Pick a bunch of friends of different sizes/heights/weights and load them all in..  Simple
