Hi Scott,
Thanks for the history on your wheels, good stuff, just the right amount of
info!
I like it when owners know the details/history of the various bits and
pieces attached to their homebuilt aircraft. It makes the aircraft even more
interesting. Some people aren't really into that sort of thing but as for
me, I think it's great!
Cheers

Mark,
This is the only other picture I have seen of a plane with wheels like mine. I
have never seen them on another flying airplane. I also have an old catalog
somewhere at home that shows them for sale. These wheels are someting I am always
looking for when I visit muesum's.

Hi Pieters,
I was finally able to get away for a full weekend of flying. I flew to San Diego's
Gillespie Field on Friday evening after work. It is about 170 sm from My
base Fox Field. I had a heavy tailwind all the way down there and made the trip
in a blazing 1 hour and 55 minutes. I'm sure that will never happen again.
The purpose of this trip was to hang out with dad and do some flying with him.
He is 84 and still flies at least once a week. Saturday morning we hopped in
our Piets and flew down to Brown Field next to the Mexican border to hang with
all the EAA chapter 14 guys and gals and do some hangar flying. We had a great
time while we were there. After lunch jumped back in the planes and loitered
around San Diego county for awhile before landing back at Gillespie field.
My sister brought my Nephew over to dads hangar for a visit. My Nephew is currently
taking flying lessons and now has about 7 hours time. I let him sit in
my planes pilots seat where he was just completely amazed at the total lack of
anything in the cockpit. He is flying Cherokees. Then he saw dads KR2 and wanted
to try that on for size. He managed to get in but was folded up like a
pretzel. He wanted to see me in the KR2 and asked me to climb into it. I have
never tried before to get in it so I tried. Lets just say I don't fit and couldn't
even get into it.
Sunday I left to fly home and had a tailwind again. Lucky me. 2 hours 10 minutes
to get home. In all, I got almost 6 hours flying in over the weekend and a
sun burnt neck and nose. The sunburn was well worth it.
Dad and I flew both these planes back to Brodhead back in 1996, We were gone for
16 days, flew 9 of those days and put 70 hours on them for that trip. I sure
wish we could do that again, but it is not in the cards. Maybe another time,
perhaps with my nephew and perhaps he could fly dads plane there along side
me.
Keep building y'all. These planes make for wonderful memories.
I'll try to add pics now.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the link,
I like wire wheels but I like balloon wheels at the same time. Those wheels
seem to be a bit of both.
I am also into restoring 80's road racing bicycles (often ride them to work
and back) so lacing up wheels is something I do.
Lacing/truing wheels can be both interesting and frustrating!
Those wheels look neat with the radial spoke pattern. Bikes sometimes have
the front wheel laced with a radial pattern, but not the rear wheel as
pedaling induces similar loads as trying to use brakes on you wheels.
Anyway, if I ever get finished, I hope to fit wire wheels.......but that is
a long way off........
Cheers
Mark Stanley

Yes,
I wish I could find fat balloon type tires for mine. It would be nice for the
type flying I do. I currently use 16" motor cycle tires. They are getting harder
to find these days. My last set of tires lasted 16 years.

The tank is 41" wide and by rough calculations should hold about 21 gallons.....
Want to keep the fuel system as simple as possible so one tank instead of two.....

I've found a good quality low angle block plane to be invaluable. I own
one of these made by Veritas:
http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=47881&cat=1,230,41182,45204,47881
Rough out your miters on the bandsaw and then take them down exactly to the
line with the block plane and a simple home-made "shooting board". Same
thing could be accomplished with a disk sander, but I find the plane to be
more accurate and a pleasure to use (no dust, no noise, pretty quick).
Works great for trimming plywood too. Plus I got to learn another skill,
how to sharpen it!
I also use an 18" rigid steel rule quite a bit, similar to this one:

Scott,
My grandson is 17 and will take his PPL check ride in a couple weeks, he's a lot
better pilot than I am. I hope to get my SkyScout flying soon so we can take
some trips together. We have a 1946 7AC Champ and my Waiex, so some flying together
might be possible. Maybe I will have to build another plane, AirCamper,
so we can toodle around together. Maybe I could have it done before I'm too old
to fly!

Hi Scott,
Nice picture of the Piets and your dads KR. I would love to have had that kind
of experience flying with my dad.
Neat memories.

The blue Piet/GN1 is my dads. Mine is the green one. I do hope you have the opportunity
to fly with you grandson. It makes for great memories.

Hi Scott; your dad is KR sized just like mine was. They could have flown together.

Charles,
Thanks for the encouragement! I hope to go as long as I can. I'm sure if I k
eep building I will keep flying. Especially if my grandson maintains his int
erest. In one month he heads to Seattle to start studying engineering. He th
en plans to go back to school and become a professional pilot! I sure hope t
hat works out. His instructor is a young man (31) who flies A320s for Virgin
Atlantic. He's a really great guy and has been a great influence on our ent
ire family, especially my grandson, Cai.
Keep flying, I will make you my model!
Thanks,
Ray Krause

Now you need these! I have been using the 800, 1200
and 8000 for many years. They cut fast and you don't
want to even glance at the edge left by the 8000. It
will cut your eye! :-)
http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=67177&cat=1,43072,67175
And this little thing to slurry the 8000 before using it.
http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=51961&cat=1,43072,67174&
ap=1
The sharpenning box is full of water. When not in use
the 800 and 1200 are submerged in the water, not
the 8000. I dip the top of that in the water then rub
the nagara over it to raise a slurry.
Make sure you mirror finish the flat side of plane
and chisel blades before working on the bevel side.
Remember, the sharper the blade, the safer it is.

I've found a good quality low angle block plane to be invaluable. I
own one of these made by Veritas:
http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=47881&cat=1,230,41182,45
204,47881
Rough out your miters on the bandsaw and then take them down exactly
to the line with the block plane and a simple home-made "shooting
board". Same thing could be accomplished with a disk sander, but I find
the plane to be more accurate and a pleasure to use (no dust, no noise,
pretty quick). Works great for trimming plywood too. Plus I got to
learn another skill, how to sharpen it!
I also use an 18" rigid steel rule quite a bit, similar to this one:
