Hi Phil, do you have any pictures showing the wings of your KR are in the

Thanks,

Wow. It’s certainly not a KR just a price of Info from CASAIN Australia if any flight controls are disconnected, a second qualified pilot MUST do a second inspection before it can be flown.I would have figured the FAA would be the samePhil. Sent from my iPhoneOn 15 Aug 2023, at 02:33, Ricardo Mou
The belt drive was great? Heaps of torque , but I had a VW Type 4 engine, 2 lit from a Comby Van. Chevy 307 pistons, cylinders machined from solid aluminium. Original drive was gear drive! But stuffed two in 15 hours. I sold that KR a few years back. It has had 4 owner so far since then, it now l
Michael In Australia CASA ( civil Aviation Safety Authority ) would not allow ( in the early days of building) the 4 bolts per WAF. The WAF has a solid spacers between each pair and a single 3/8” minimum bolt. ( also we do not use the aft 2” of the CoG. So in my opinion the WAF MUST be bolted, the

solution.
Before I express my POV, I just want to leave these 2 disclaimers on the

I’m no engineer either, but I suspect the clamping force the WAF bolts
provide may be relevant to the integrity/strength of the WAF joint. Lynch
pins won’t provide any clamping force. They’d also need to be very precise
- I doubt movement of the joint would be a recipe for safety or longevity.

I have done some digging on the KR2 folding wings and while the actual
folding mechanism is reasonably easy (See Philip's web link); the quick and
*safe* detach and reattach the WAF bolts has been the challenge. True I
can simply spend an age detaching and reattaching the wings and se
Thank you, Phill.

Tommy,
The link was a direct copy of the original message, and it takes me to a
