Sure it does. It was the "crank triggered" part that I was talking about. I'm just crazy enough to fly my Corvair with nothing more than a set of points. Sudden failures in points are almost unheard of, and if they're not neglected, and grease is kept on the cam, there's almost nothing to break. But I might put on a crank triggered system also. Troy has one (from Electromotive, I think) that's altitude compensating, with a knock sensor option that makes a lot of sense. It would be interesting to know the reliablity of these "points replacement" kits. I'll bet it's pretty high, and might even beat points!

Don, I got the carb set so I don't have the brown trail down the side of the plane. Those of you who looked at the pictures from the Virginia Flyin may have noticed it. I was setting the carb enroute due to just doing a top on the engine. It took four more tries to get it where I wanted it to be. As to the oil that was blowing out, it turned out to be caused by the crankcase being over pressurized. I had the breather line hooked up to the carb air inlet in an attempt to have the oil vapor not go on the belly. Carb sucks air and oil vapor at same time. Same as the PCV system on a car. This was great in theory, not in the airplane world. Turns out that by pulling the air off the top of the engine, I was pushing air into the crankcase, not sucking it out. I am getting more ram effect than I thought. Put the breather line on a 3/8" tube that extends about 6in below the belly, now every thing is fine. What I never put together was that when doing a high speed run, the engine would go lean and start to miss. This was due to boosting the manifold pressure because of the ram air off the top of the engine. High pressure----air inlet----lean mixture----blowing oil out----DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! So another lesson learned. If any of you can go to the Virginia EAA fly in next year, go. Good breakfast, lots of airplanes, great people. This is on my every year flyin list. This would be a great place to have a mini east coast KR gathering. I'd even stay for both days.

I frequently get carburetor ice with my Cessna 182 yet I hardly ever did when I used to fly a Piper Cherokee 140. Why the difference? A. Some engines create carburetor ice more than others. Your Continental O-470 engine in the Cessna 182 forms carburetor ice in conditions where a Lycoming O-320 engine in a Piper Cherokee 140 doesn't. In a carburetor there are two places where ice typically forms; in the venturi where the air pressure is decreased and the fuel introduced, and the second place is down stream of the throttle butterfly. As the carburetor vaporizes fuel, it cools the intake air by evaporation. The carburetor venturi also cools the air by adiabatically expanding the intake air, known as the Joule-Thomson Effect. If the air temperature drops below the dew point, moisture in the air condenses into water droplets. Thus, water can be present in the carburetor even when flying in clear skies. Ice forms near the carburetor butterfly when water droplets strike parts of the carburetor (typically the butterfly and venturi) that are freezing. Freezing is determined by: the outside air temperature, the temperature drop, and heat absorption from the engine. With the throttle partly closed, such as in a low power descent, you may have a 10" Hg or more pressure drop across the throttle butterfly. The more gasoline the carburetor evaporates, the colder the carburetor. As your engine idles at the end of the runway, little fuel is evaporating and the carburetor's temperature may be above freezing. Adding takeoff power increases the rate of fuel evaporation. Now the carburetor may be cold enough to form carburetor ice. Your carburetor can get pretty cold. The heat loss from evaporation of gasoline at the stoichiometric ratio creates a theoretical temperature drop of 40 degrees F. The adiabatic expansion of gas across the carburetor's venturi also lowers the temperature. Thus, you could drop the carburetor temperature to freezing and form carburetor ice at an ambient temperature of 72 degrees or higher. Stoichiometric is the leanest possible mixture. At richer mixtures the ambient temperature at which carburetor ice forms is even higher - Lycoming publishes a temperature range of twenty to 90 degrees F. for carburetor ice. Adding alcohol to gasoline dramatically increases the ambient temperature where ice forms. Evaporating methyl alcohol creates a temperature drop of 300 degrees F. As a result, carburetor ice occurs over a wide range of temperatures. Your Continental engine forms carburetor ice at a higher outside air temperature than your Lycoming engine since the carburetor on a Continental engine absorbs less engine heat. Continental mounts the carburetor to the intake pipes away from engine heat. Lycoming mounts the carburetor to the oil pan where it absorbs heat from the engine oil. One side effect of forming carburetor ice at a higher air temperature is that the warm air holds more moisture than cold air; therefore, you have a potential for greater carburetor icing with Continental engines than with Lycoming engines. In Bendix pressure carburetors such as the PS series used on Lycoming's the fuel is injected into the cylinder's intake manifold so you don't get the cooling effect of the fuel vaporizing and possibility of carburetor ice is minimized. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 00:36:42 EDT To: krnet@mailinglists.org From: DONAN5@aol.com Subject: REVMASTER REVFLOW Message-ID: <65.6bb0316.269aacda@aol.com> Who has used this on a VW? likes dislikes???? and any body have a template for a carb heat box or a carb heat box for sale???? thanks Don ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 07:11:30 -0700 To: "'krnet@mailinglists.org'" From: "Seifert, Richard E" Subject: FW: Bendix Mag Problem Message-Id: Probably Not a big problem. Do not disassemble it. Revmaster sets the mag when they run-in the engine. Assuming you haven't changed the mag setting, the points accumulate a light coating of oxidation over time; just clean them by inserting a thin piece of poster board or cardboard (even thick paper will work) between the points and pulling it out. Do this a few times being careful not to bend the points out of alignment. Oxidation builds up when the mag hasn't been used for a long time and the mag will operate normally after cleaning.

You will get over the effects in a few days, but new exposures will bring stronger and longer-lasting reactions. Most folks think because they didn't have a reaction, they won't get one. Not true. It may take only one or it may take many exposures before your body begins to react, but, once it does, it will continue to react to the offending substance. You MUST protect your skin, eyes, nose and especially your airway (lungs - from glass-fiber dust). Wear gloves ( I know vinyl and butyl are used), long sleeves and trousers, mask and eye protection. Many composite projects have been shelved because the builder didn't find about sensitivity to epoxy/glass/latex until too late. No one likes to do all this, but it goes with the territory. --- Richard Parker wrote: > Do any of you have any experience with epoxy > sensitivity?...when I went to bed last night I was all itchy and am still itchy today.

It is extremely important to avoid all direct contact with epoxy. I was not careful enough in the beginning of my project and I am paying for it now. The slightest exposure causes my hands to blister. Then the blisters pop and the skin is raw and tender for about two weeks. It has gotten to the point that epoxy fumes in the air can cause my hands to itch. I must put on liquid gloves (a creme that helps protect the skin), heavy gloves, long sleeve shirt, respirator, safety glasses, and have all the shop doors open. If I forget any of those items, I can tell later. As I type this, I have hands that look terrible. Skin is flaking off of three fingers because I contaminated the inside of my gloves somehow.

I was really careful after I got it , used rubber gloves and barrier cream until I got a really bad second attack -itched from the top of my head to the soles of my feet .Then I read somewhere that people were getting allergic reactions from the powder used to dust the insides of rubber gloves .Since the makers use organic powder (rice or corn usually)instead of talc for all sorts of products (foot anti fungal for one), I read the small print very carefully! Good luck.

Message-ID: <20000711143721.25340.qmail@hotmail.com> Hello everyone! I need to take a decision. I have the following: a KR2, the photos of which I recently forwarded to the net. This was a flying example which got damaged on its delivery flight after an MPI due to a power loss by overshooting the runway. It has logged 280 hours and has basic VFR instrumentation. The damage incurred was as follows: left and right wing root skin damaged (left totally removed), left landing gear sheared just above the wheel, cowl cracked underneath, canopy broken. This aircraft is one of the lighter KR's weighing in at 295 kilograms without occupants and is powered by a 2.1 liter VW turbo. The other is not completed and the following has to be done: Instrument panel made and installed, controls to be installed, ailerons and others to be joined to airframe, engine to be mounted...On one side it is beautifully built but on the other side it requires lots of work and has never flown before and it is somewhat heavy due to lots of uneccessary trim. Which would you keep? I have to sell one! Will a 74 horse power VW pull a 350 kg KR2 with two occupants combined at 150 kilograms and 45 litres of fuel? All inputs will be wellcome and terribly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have photos if necessary!! Andrea! ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of krnet Digest ***********************************
