KR> Medical Issue Likely To Cancel KR-2S Dream

2013-07-10 Thread Todd Servaes
I may just have to face the facts and sell my KR-2S kit and move toward Sport Pilot. I am, here, just thinking 'out loud,' and eliciting ideas and / or offers. My medical was not denied; but the ME says that it cannot be approved and suggested that we not submit it until I get a, for most, mino

You should check the back issues of the print KRNewsletter about 0200 weights, because you can save a good bit of weight by picking your accessories well. Don Reid's article had very good and detailed comparisons. He even gave sources for the weight saving components. Todd Servaes KR-2S

Hello Gavin, I prefer to mask around the joints with low adhesion and residue tape, and this way simply avoid the glue clean up mess. If you do not prevent the excess glue mess, none of the cleaning methods are any fun. Todd Servaes KR-2S Gavin Donohoe wrote: >Hi all, >I've sta

, as you suggest, is weights attached at the elevator tips. One thing to keep in mind is that stresses on the weight attachments can be rather high. If I recall correctly Barnaby Wainfan in one of his articles said that control surface weight systems should be designed for a 40 g minimum. Todd
