This should not be an issue as most every KR built deviates in terms of cockpit width. Widening the cabin by as little as 4" makes a big difference. SteveJ +++++++++++++++++++ What is your name - Ronald or Steve? ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 10:02:24 +0200 From: "Stephen Jacobs" Subject: RE: KR> Fit two people To: "'KRnet'" Message-ID: <000201c52ac7$abd83920$2864a8c0@stephen> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Brian - I would not like to travel long distances in something with dimensions like a Cessna 150 at about 36". Ken - I have yet to notice anyone "highly suspicious" on this group about anything. +++++++++++++++++++++++ I have seen Ron post a few times and 3 or 4 Steve's but never seen another Steve J - did not now there was another?? The question is a very valid one, I spent a great deal of time reading various builder reports on exactly this topic. On my plans the fuse is 38.12" at the widest, unfortunately this forward of the shoulders. At the shoulders it is about 37" at the top rail of the boat. That is the outside dimension, so deduct 1.25" (2 x 5/8") for the top longeron and doublers, thus an inside dimension of 36.75 - 1.25 = 35.5 (at the rear spar / shoulders). After reading a great deal of comment from netters, I concluded that I could safely get away with anything up to 44" outside, plus move the wide point back to the shoulder position. That is 5" more than the older C172. As someone else commented, you can customize the seats to suite your shape, age, posture etc. and end up with a very comfortable airplane. You could even modify the seats over time until you find exactly what you like. I am sure that the popularity of the KR stems from the fundamental simplicity of design and materials - it really is easy to customize. It may not always be safe or even wise to do this, but it is easy. Many builders stretch the boat - I think I have read about another 14" onto a 2S. Apart from the other benefits, this helps to accommodate the extra width in softer curves. At least Mark L and Don Reid discuss this (and other mods) on their respective web sites.

Not a huge deal here, because you can get a wider canopy through Todd's. Sure you could pie-section the decks and glass-in the gap, but by the time you do that, you've added a bunch of weight. My 2S project was widened 3 inches by the previous builderwhich forced me into building my own Forward deck, canopy frame and turtledeck. My turtledeck weighed half as much (7 lbs) as the RR "pre-molded" part (14 lbs). If you're interested in seeing what I went through to build it go to: http://www.kr-builder.org/ScottCable/index.html If I were to do it again, I would widen the fuselage to 46 inches (inside), reason being by the time I built the arm rest and seats, it still was, a little, shall we say "cozy". This caused me to re-think the flap handle and put in a electric linear actuator to drive the flaps. There was just not enough room inside to manipulate the flap handle. I was planning to mount the flaps to a torque tube, and the actuator was going to mount inside the CF armrest. The elevator bellcrank was going to pivot about the same torque tube. and the aileron return cable was going to route through the center of the tube. See what happens when you change one thing....?

I personally would not have a problem with driving an MG Midget everywhere I went, as long as there was someone on the other end to winch me out of the car when I arrived at my destination! One doesn't get out of the Midget (having owned a 1973 model) but rather "rolls" out to exit. Much the same way one typically doesn't step out of a KR but rather "extricates" or climbs out similar to exiting a fighter plane, NOT walking out like a commercial flight or sliding the seat back and stepping out of the ubiquitous C172! BUT, this is the appeal of the plane. To have a fun little airplane that is nimble like a fighter, if CG is managed stable for its weight and size, fast and economical to operate, and tailored to exactly what the builder desires. If one builds carefully, and manages the CG well, the KR makes a great cross country plane solo. The tight confines make remaining comfortable with 2 on board a challenge for long hours. My opinion is that if you are looking to travel to the opposite coast quickly, you are cheaper to just buy tickets and fly commercially, than having your own plane no matter what model. The idea to me is to enjoy the flight along the way at altitudes that one can see the ground and watch the land change, and see what has not been seen before, or has changed since the last season, an exploration. NO general aviation plane that I have flown that flies fast can be flown without some small monitoring attention, including the KR at speed. If you want this, fly commercially and let someone else do the flying. As WW says we do this because we are making a statement to the world of what kind of adventurer we are, and our love of flying. I would NOT want to fly our KR to Canada if I needed to be there in 2-3 days rush. But I DO fully intend to fly the COMPLETE U.S. at some point in our KR in the manner described because it is a perfect platform for that kind of exploration. There is no better joy to me than to have 20 degrees bank on final into the wind, manage my descent to the threshold, feel the plane following my every command, round out smoothly and confidently, and while training wheel pilots are going around asking for the runway into the wind and porpoising like a home sick dolphin in ground effect, feel our KR kiss the runway on her mains, and rollout tail high on the centerline, students gawking at the hold short line, and gently set the tail down and turn off onto the taxiway assigned, and laughing all the way back to the tie down at the tri-gears S'ing on the taxiway due to improper wind correction, while I do so merely to be able to see over the nose, my vision blurred through tears of joy and laughing!

Hello Net I have a tee hanger and had to wait on a list for 5 years to get it. As for hanger costs, I pay $200 per month and get an electric bill from the local Edison co. for my 40 foot tee here at the Oakland County Airport, Waterford MI. I have had both a 172 and a 152 in the hanger with the KR(not at the same time). In both cases, the KR has to be put in the hanger last after the other craft is in. With the 172, there is a huge chance for hanger rash. The ideal plane to share with is another KR. I have tried to fit in a long eze and a Rands Coyote. The long wings interfere with the KR. I personally don't want anyone else to have to move my aircraft.

Vernon - 2005 - KR Gathering -------Original Message------- There is no better joy to me than to have 20 degrees bank on final into the wind, manage my descent to the threshold, feel the plane following my every command, round out smoothly and confidently, and while training wheel pilots are going around asking for the runway into the wind and porpoising like a home sick dolphin in ground effect, feel our KR kiss the runway on her mains and rollout tail high on the centerline, students gawking at the hold short line, and gently set the tail down and turn off onto the taxiway assigned, and laughing all the way back to the tie down at the tri-gears S'ing on the taxiway due to improper wind correction, while I do so merely to be able to see over the nose, my vision blurred through tears of joy and laughing! ------------------------------ Message: 20 Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 09:36:52 +1000 From: "Barry Kruyssen" Subject: KR> Suspension height To: "KRnet" Message-ID: <041d01c52b4a$3454bcb0$8200a8c0@technologyonecorp.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi, Late April I will be bringing my aircraft home and fitting wing stub fuel tanks (as I've mentioned before) Also I will fit my wheel spats, fare of my ballistic chute and undercarriage, paint the cowling and cut and polish the rest. My problem is that when fitted my wheel spats will be 4" from the bottom of the wing. This seems to close. Can I get some idea of height of main spar to ground from the group. I now have the opportunity to raise the undercarriage height 4", there is no in-between as currently they are mounted on the old retractable mounting points inside the aircraft and I will move them underneath the floor and mount them like the Grove undercarriage. You can see the height of my undercarriage on http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/Picture_Gallery.htm Thanks Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 kr2@BigPond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ------------------------------ Message: 21 Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 16:22:07 -0800 From: "Bill Sadler" Subject: Re: Fw: KR> Sun-n-fun Roll call To: "KRnet" Message-ID: <003501c52b50$854d7070$a18fd742@yourw04gtxld67> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Thanks for info Bill Sadler ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott" To: "KRnet" Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 10:56 AM Subject: Re: Fw: KR> Sun-n-fun Roll call > It's closest to Tampa International Airport (TPA).

I'd better add 500' to my cruising height :-) Barry ----- Original Message ----- From: Bavo To: KRnet Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 10:37 AM Subject: Re: KR> 2 people midget Look out at 7000ft Barry, when I went to school Mount Kosciusko was 7310 feet! > if you cruise at 7000' you will clear every mount in Australia!) ------------------------------ Message: 24 Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 07:50:20 -0600 From: Mark Jones Subject: KR> Drives me nuts.

When typing something in a search bar (Google, eBay, etc.. for instance) , I always get a drop down of everything I have ever typed in on that site. I hate this feature and can not figure out how to turn it off. I know it is most likely in the Internet Tools advanced menu but I am not sure what the feature is called. I run Windows Professional 2000. Thanks.
