WOW what a rush to see and hear my rev master turbo come to life on N379NS! I know some of you have already experienced it and I've heard you talking about it but what a feeling. After five years of building I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. Mike Stafford Denham Springs, Louisian

KR> Gas Struts

2009-02-18 Thread mikensandys...@aol.com
I found two low pressure gas struts on a pickup truck fiberglass canopy rear hatch lid. They work perfect and only cost me $5.00 (U.S.) plus the ball joints ($5.00) from the local auto parts store. Mike Stafford,s KR2 is 85% and almost making real airplane noises.

Ray, this is Mike Stafford in Denham Springs. You are supposed to be evacuated. Hope you remain dry. I've got my KR in the shop all nice and dry. I made more parts to mount my mains today before we lose electricity. The wife fussed and said that there were other things more important. I'm still

I used "Elmer's" ultimate glue. It's polyurethane. It's water activated and easy to work with. Like all products in this category it does have some draw backs though as the bonding seam is a little hard to sand as compared to sanding the bonded foam. Overall though I have been very pleased wi

Peter, I've contacted Elmer's and was only able to leave a message on their phone answering machine. They have a terrible web site in regards to their information about distribution. I think as big a product that Elmer's has been here it surely should have an outlet there. If I get a response

In practice, I was taught to maintain altitude in a turn by executing a 360 and looking for my own wake turbulence. It's definitely there, even in a KR or C172.

Thanks for the reply. I'll check it out. I think I saw a picture of something similar as you mentioned but they had the legs mounted to the stub main spars. Couldn't find the item again. And, it was before I made my find on the spring.

KR> Mains for tri-gear

I just recently purchased a Sonori spring gear complete with axles, wheels, brakes and good tires. The dimensions are the same as the grove design for the KR with the exception of the spacing between the leg bends which is only 27". Does anyone have any experience mounting this gear on a KR?
