Bend the last 1/2 inch of the inside wire into a "U" shape. Drill a hole in the left rudder pedal and insert a light to med weight spring (3 to 5 inches long)to the rudder, the other end of the spring goes into "U" shaped bend of the inner wire on the vernier throttle control. If you need to hold left rudder in cruising flight you just pull the throttle control out a little until the plane flies straight. If you need to use the rudder in a turn you do not have to change the rudder trim, the spring allows normal use of the rudder. This works great in my KR-2.

It's a little flimsy for flat areas but with a good curve it is plenty sturdy and you can cut it with tin snips. I have had no problems with scratches.

It is just for info. I am NOT implying that other members on the net feel the same. I find it almost impossible to read your messages. You do not use punctuation, capitals, sentences or paragraphs. Your sentences are just a lot of unrelated words typed after one another. (Actually, it is not the case, but that is the impression given) Remember, you are talking to many people around the world, some of whom do not use English or American as first language. I will not be surprised if they (also) just delete your messages without trying to unravel it into something meaningful. The heartbreaking part is that you sometimes do write very interesting (and sometimes even readable) messages. What a shame to miss them. (Second) Last but not least, I am not advocating that MY usage of language and the internet should be seen as an example. Please do not flame me in return for the spelling and grammar erors I made in this massage. My really last remark and not directed to you. It is just good manners to add your (or a) name at the end of a message. Not all Netters know ALL the members on this list by the callsigns of their planes. An indication of the continent on which you occupy space will be helpful as well. Regards.

There is only one problem with keeping these things outside and it's water. I always have a roll of body shop quality masking tape with me so if rain is predicted I can tape up the canopy etc so rain getting into the cockpit is not a problem. I tape up the canopy, forward deck, and any where the rain copuld get in. It only takes 5 min to do the whole plane, and the tape pulls right off in the morning. Good luck!

How did you ever get away with having three of them and your wife not leaving you? I have a hard time with only one. Back about 15 years ago when I first started looking at doing a homebuilt I read the FAA rules and there was something in there about only being able to sell one of any model of homebuilt you built or only being able to register a second, but no more, of the same type if you had already sold one. The idea being that you could not just keep building KRs or whatever and selling them because that would essentially make you an airplane factory. Is that rule still in existence? Not meaning to pick on you, it just reminded me that I had been meaning to research the question. John Bouyea wrote: >I have finally decided that I have one too many projects.

To answer your question, Becker Avionics makes a nice small transponder that fits in a round instrument hole. It is a little pricey, and it hasn't been around that long so you are not likely to find a good deal on a used one yet, but it is ideal for a KR. http://www.becker-avionics.com/product/index.htm I think Aircraft Spruce sell them in the U.S. www.aircraftspruce.com Flymaca711689@aol.com wrote: >Dam bust my chops. > What I meant was without a transponder your going to have company >and that it scared me just the thought of his vortices ripping me a part. >IM getting a transponder and I read the notoms at each flight !!! > > > >bad grammar Mac >(flying) kr2 n1055a > ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 17:24:20 -0800 (PST) To: KRnet@mailinglists.org From: Frank Ross Subject: KR wives Message-ID: <20030227012420.72050.qmail@web40912.mail.yahoo.com> Brian, Some wives are just that stubborn.
