As far as keeping resin out of locknut or nutplate threads while you're glassing, you can stand them up in a row on some waxed paper and melt canning paraffin or candle wax into the threaded parts before you install them. Resin will not stick to wax. After they are in place and the resin is ha

Hello all, I?ve got two questions. First, what size piano hinge is used for the ailerons? Second, how are they attached to the false spars? I?m looking at countersunk bolts into captive nuts flexed onto the back of the spars, but my 1979 version of the plans doesn?t say anything on the subject.

The facts are that the KR is light, fast, and agile. Changes to the design will not make it much faster, more agile, and most changes just add weight. I do however like to think through the ideas that get presented here. This helps keep the brain from aging, and every once in a while somethin

I'm not an engineer or even an expert, but how valid is static testing with no air load on the aileron. Our operating environment has air moving over that service at up to 200 mph, which I would think would effect the outcome in serviceable hours. Orma Southfield, MI KR-2 N110LR 1984 See Tw

Now the only question remaining is what composite will take that kind of repetitive flexing without degradation. Now those builders in warmer climates may not have to worry much about this point since we know that composites lose their stiffness the more they are exposed to heat BUT us guys up here

KR> aileron hinges.

Load is not just a function of airspeed it also depends on size of the control surface (among other things) 200 mph of an small R/C plane is not the same load on the control surface as 200mph for a full scale airplane. As I mentioned earlier, R/C gliders use "KEVLAR" for this purpose. I don't know

on a R/C plane if the hinge breaks or comes loose and it crashes you have a pile of balsa wood to pickup and left holding the transmitter.

I dunno, but it's not for me to argue with the bright boys. It just seems that in rapid entry of a steep turn, one wing is trying to lift the airplane while the aileron on the same wing is trying to push it down, quickly. This seems like a pretty good "shear" stress on the edge of that .016"
