Protective Ceramic Coating (PCC), invented at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA, in the heart of Silicon Valley, repels heat from virtually any surface it covers. This allows it to shield ceramics, wood, steel, plastics and fiberglass from high temperatures. Wessex, Inc., based in Blacksburg, VA, has licensed the coating from Ames and will continue to develop and market the material. "PCC has a unique property that enables it to radiate thermal energy during exposure to elevated temperatures," said Rex Churchward, the inventor of PCC. "The coating helps the material reject heat from its surface and thus decreases the amount of heat that can be transferred to the underlying insulation." NASA originally invented PCC as a protective coating for spacecraft heat shields to allow them to withstand the extreme fiery conditions experienced during Earth reentry. The material's ceramic components exhibit the property of high emissivity, which means the material tends to radiate heat. This allows the protective coating to reflect heat away from the surface it covers, thereby increasing the capability of materials to withstand temperature levels far beyond their normal range. "Wessex has performed extensive research to maximize the product's fitness for use in various applications," said company president John Olver. "We have discovered that 99 percent of the materials in PCC will not burn, therefore, the coating inhibits the spread of flame. It also reduces heat transfer to the underlying material, which prevents combustion." "PCC can withstand temperatures from -250 degrees Fahrenheit up to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit without damage, added Olver. "It is a great material with unlimited potential." In the future, PCC may serve as heat protection for car and boat engines, as well as various building materials, making these modes of transportation and environments more fire-resistant and safer for the consumer. The PCC product is readily manufactured and easily applied to a variety of surfaces. "The advantage of the coating is that it can be applied by brush or by spray gun and then air dried," added Churchward. "It is fairly easy to prepare and can be applied to large or small sections of insulations." This successful transfer of PCC demonstrates how NASA's Commercial Technology Offices perform their mission of maximizing NASA's research efforts. NASA reaches out to the business community in a way that leverages the agency's resources with those of the private sector. The objective is to stimulate job growth and increase the competitiveness of American products in the global marketplace. "The American taxpayer's investment is paying off when products like PCC are spun out and become commercially viable, meeting a real need in the US marketplace," said Phil Herlth, Ames Commercial Technology Office.

I then decided to remove the RAF setup and installed the AS5046 airfoil. Upon doing this, there was no way the stock Rand setup would fit in the trailing edge behind the aft spar so I decided to reverse build new aileron belcranks and install them on the front side of the aft spar. Plenty of room there. This too would be a good solution for anyone who is having difficulty with the RAF airfoil belcrank clearances. Simply install them on the front of the aft spar.

There are plenty of both pros and cons to this idea, and I've thought of a lot of them, but I would like to hear what "vox KRNet" has to say. I don't have a dog in this race, but I found the idea interesting for a number of reasons. Here are some strips in the general KR meeting area (AL, AR, KY, TN) that I found by doing a simple search on Google... ---------------- Steve Thomas, 1828 Hopkins Road, Murray, Kentucky 42071, phone 270-767-9814, e-mail steve@hcis.net.

There is a state prison on the east shore of the lake. Be sure not to fly over it! Phone 270-388-9563. ---------------------- Do a search on Google of "'private airstrips' Tennessee (substitute your state)" and you'll find plenty more. Obviously not having a "local guy" to arrange things would be one of the "cons" that I mentioned, but if the idea gains favor I think that is overcomable (is that a word?). Maybe a rotating committee to make sure biz is taken care of... Anyway, I'm off for TX in the morning to pick up a KR 2 project in Abilene...hope to see a few of you at the Canton fly-in on Fri-Sat-Sun...I will be stopping by Fri (en route to Abilene), spend most of Sat at Canton, leaving noonish Sun.

Message-ID: The first year I went to a gathering, it was at Rough River Falls in Kentucky and the next year it was at Kentucky Dam State park. Rough River was beautiful, the food was great and the lodging was good. I really did not care for Kentucky Dam State Park. The one in Covington was good because of the hangar space which Rough River does not have. However, for people who want to bring along significant others and families, Rough River is great. They have tennis, boating, fishing, golf, and probably other stuff. When I went there, I was hoping they would have it there every year but most of the people then, wanted to go to different places. Going to different places does give people who may be far away, a better opportunity to attend. If we are to go to one place, a place with hangars and all around good weather from all parts of the country all the time would be great. If anyone knows where such a place is.

Hi all, How would everyone feel about holding the Gathering in the same spot every year, some small out-of-the-way strip where we would all meet annually? There are plenty of both pros and cons to this idea, and I've thought of a lot of them, but I would like to hear what "vox KRNet" has to say. I don't have a dog in this race, but I found the idea interesting for a number of reasons. Here are some strips in the general KR meeting area (AL, AR, KY, TN) that I found by doing a simple search on Google... ---------------- Steve Thomas, 1828 Hopkins Road, Murray, Kentucky 42071, phone 270-767-9814, e-mail steve@hcis.net. Private grass strip 225' x 1,000'. Pirates Cove Resort, with a private paved airstrip 3,000' long, 500 Pirate's Cove Road, Hardin, Kentucky 42048, phone 270-354- 9066. Contact Bob Webster at 270-354-9312. Mayfield-Graves County Airport, 100' x 4600' paved runway with paved taxiway and lots of grass. The folks at this airport love to have ultralights of all types stop in and visit and fly their area. Contact Billy Bolin, FBO Manager at 270-247-6866. Farrington, West Kentucky Airpark, 60' x 3,000' paved runway with parallel turf runway beside it. At this airport ultralights and aircraft of all types are the norm. A great resting stop to refuel the plane and the pilot, they sell AV gas as well as auto gas plus have a nice restaurant there. They are also used to working on ultralight engines. Phone 270-898-2403. Kentucky Dam State Park Airport, 100' x 4,000' paved runway with enough grass to land a powered parachute in any direction. There is usually traffic inbound to this airport when I go there, so I am sure to keep the unicom alerted as I enter and leave the area. Phone 270-362-4271. Lake Barkley State Park Airport, 100' x 4,800' paved runway with grass beside it. This airport is on the North edge of the MOA for Fort Campbell. Be sure to check the sectional. Phone 270-924-1131. Kuttawa Harbor is a Seaplane base on Lake Barkley near the dam. It has three runways on the water each 300-400' wide and 4500', 7500' and 10,000' long. There is a state prison on the east shore of the lake. Be sure not to fly over it! Phone 270-388-9563. ---------------------- Do a search on Google of "'private airstrips' Tennessee (substitute your state)" and you'll find plenty more. Obviously not having a "local guy" to arrange things would be one of the "cons" that I mentioned, but if the idea gains favor I think that is overcomable (is that a word?). Maybe a rotating committee to make sure biz is taken care of... Anyway, I'm off for TX in the morning to pick up a KR 2 project in Abilene...hope to see a few of you at the Canton fly-in on Fri-Sat-Sun...I will be stopping by Fri (en route to Abilene), spend most of Sat at Canton, leaving noonish Sun. Chuck PS...in case you didn't know, I'm already known for weird ideas like black airplanes and breakaway "spin-arrestor" chutes"...I have no shame left... Besides, it's almost Friday... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I remember the first KR1 I saw outta Weaverville, CA at an airshow flyin in Redding, CA at Benton airfield. I was Awestruck whatta plane!

I = thought the following might be of interest for others going through the = same excercise. Rear of harmonic balancer to firewall is 3 1/2 inches. Thrust centre (ie. centre of balancer) is 3 inches below a line drawn = between the upper longerons. Engine CoG (not including prop and exhaust) is 14 1/2 inches forward of = firewall. This is about 1 1/2 inches forward of where it is with a rear = mounted starter/alternator step up. Weight is 232 lbs. I have an original front mounted starter (Toyota) from WW that protrudes = 3/4 inch above a flush cowl line but which blends quite nicely with a = 10" spinner backing plate. Carby is a top mounted sidedraft Ellison = EFS-3A that sits below the starter line, likewise the stock fuel pump. = The alternator is a Kubota tractor 15 amp permanent magnet with separate = rectifier/regulator driven by a pulley at the front (part of WW kit). The engine must go back as far as possible for CoG reasons thus the back = of the stock oil filter housing is only about 1/8 inch off the firewall. Prop diameter looks like being 52" giving a six inch ground clearance = thus may need to go with a three blader to absorb 100hp. Hope this info helps someone reduce brain bending.
