Had them on for 8 years.Survived a ground loop (into a crop of canola which took the engine off), without a scratch.The only problem with construction I found was using vinyl resin,which Dan recommends.It sets so quickly that you have to get it right first time.If you need any more info or pics let me know.

The vinyl ester does set up very quickly, so plan well and have several friends over for a wing installing party. Make sure that everyone knows what they are to do. Don't skimp on the vinyl ester flox mix, be sure there is enough to make complete contact. On the other side, I think that you can make lighter wings if you are really good at composite work and you may not want wings as long as the Diehl skins. While you are at the Gathering, look around and you will probably be able to pick out the KRs with skins and the ones built from scratch.

I think Trailing Edge Technologies (TET) used to sell them for $280 or so. I don't remember because that was Dr. Dean's thing. If there's enough interest, I'm tempted to make another run of those, but it'd probably take 10 sets or so to make it ecomically feasible. Without bothering to get actual pricing, I'd venture to say roughly $300 bucks (yes, I'd probably make a profit at this rate, but otherwise I wouldn't do it!). These would be made by an aircraft parts manufacturing facility that does this sort of work daily. I would either powder coat them like before or plate them with something to minimize corrosion. If you'd be interested, send me a PRIVATE email to N56ML@hiwaay.net with "WAFs" in the subject line. If somebody else wants to do it, that's fine too. Just trying to help out here. Also, I won't guarantee delivery in less than 30 or 60 days either, because that stuff's pretty much out of my control, but I'd do my best to expedite them...

YES, YES, YES. This morning even with the threat of AIDS and all that it entails, I returned to the airport this morning and finished the final details that cleared the way for me to start the engine. I had marked out what I thought was 12 degrees on the face of my prop hub and used a timing light to dynamically set the timing on the 009. I made one last check for fuel leaks and verified that all wires were working. I used my oil can to oil the rockers and valve stems one last time. I pored a few drops of fuel in each plug hole to prime the engine, and installed the second set of plugs. I had a friend stand fire guard and hit the switch. After a few sputters from the raw fuel, the engine began to clear and fire on all 4 cylinders. The engine ran oh so smooth!!!. I kept waiting for what seemed near 30 seconds and still no oil pressure. A few taps on the pressure gauge (direct reading) and the pressure moved to near 60. After it stabilized (I forgot to record the idle speed) I attempted to accelerate past idle. I made it to 2000 RPM before it starved for fuel. I did look at manifold pressure to see if the turbo was giving any indication and noted that it was at 15 at idle and advanced to about 18 at 2000. My observer stated that the waste gate was flapping. That is only one of many issues that I will have to deal with during the coming days in order to get flight ready. After many months of down time, I finally feel the KR is coming back to life. Since it runs smooth enough and only indicated that it wants more fuel, it's time to reinstall the big fan up front. All and all I'd say today was a good day.

I tried the archives, but no luck. I thought I remembered Mark L saying he just mailed in a few bucks and got them. If anyone knows what I should do to get the plans, please let me know. Thanks alot.

To: "KRnet" Message-ID: <023901c488c1$0bddafc0$1202a8c0@basement> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" A few months ago we took up a collection for a "prop fund", a sort of KR prop bank where folks could swap, trade, sell, or buy a KR prop that didn't quite work on one KR, but might be dandy on another. I collected about $550 to get the thing rolling, but I've yet to buy a prop. Obviously, I don't want to blow it on one prop. So I'm hoping some kind souls who have an old KR prop hanging around that they have no use for wouldn't mind selling it to the fund for a bargain, so that somebody who's not quite sure what prop they need would have a chance to try some different ones before he went out and dropped the big bucks. Now that I think about it, some folks may have a prop, but want to hang on to it for a spare. If that's the case, you could let us know what you've got and we'll put it in the "could be borrowed temporarily" class and if the need arises, you could ship it direct to somebody to try out, with the understanding that they owe you $50 for the privilege, you'd want it right back, and if they trash it they have to buy it. Is there anybody out there that could automate this and put it online? I guess I'm talking about a realtime "KR prop bank" where folks could offer their old/spare prop to the communtity to give folks the chance to "test drive" a prop to find out what works best on their KR. I'd think that the borrower would send the lender a check big enough to cover things if it never came back though. If things worked out between lender and borrower, somebody might even get a good deal on a prop, and the seller could now afford to get something that worked better as his own "spare". Whatayathink? On the WAF front, I'm told that RR has had trouble getting WAFs, so that's probably the reason for the delay. She'll deliver eventually. So I don't think I need to make any WAFs after all.

I have room to store and inventory props and have daily access to shipping and receiving. If we can get this prop bank going, I too think it would benefit many folks.
