Lectric Bob,



You said:



<<Okay, I've got you drawing. Let me pray over it

    for a few days . . .>>



Are you still praying, or did you decide to exercise my design of using z14

for the engine (electrionic ignition, fuel pumps alternators and batteries)

and z13 (main bus and e-bus) for everything else?



Regards,

Bob Lee

   I've got a plan. The kids are down for the weekend

   and my grandson is looking for a lot of grandpa-time.

   But I'll do a system for Corvair engines. It will

   become Z-9.

I have just bought Bob Lee's Kr2 project and am trying to gather any info that may pertain to the project. Do you have nay more posts or information about the electronics he used?

Thanks

Bob, If you know Bob Lee's username on the Matronics Aeroelectric Connection forum you could do a search and find all his posts. That would be one way to garner information about your new project. Congratulations and be sure to buy the latest revision of Bob N's book. It will become your best source of information as you craft the electrical architecture of your KR. Good luck and happy building.

    When you say project . . . what stage of

    completion? Are any of the electrical

    system appliances operable either airborne

    or on the ground?



    I don't recall any conversations with Mr. Lee

    here on the List. Depending on how many

    'hard' decisions are already in place, you

    might be well advices to pull out all the

    'fuzzy' stuff and start over.



    Is this your first project or do you have

    some lessons-learned to draw on?

The project is pretty well on it's way. As far as hard decisions I think Bob went to great lengths with the panel and also talked somewhere about the electrical as far as flight instruments goes as well. Here is a link to some pics and information about the current state of affairs with the project.

I have not seen it in person and likely will not until I can pick it up next spring.



    http://www.krnet.org/krs/boblee/



Please go have a look and I am expecting some pictures of the back of the panel at some point so I can see what is going on there.

The instrument on the right (beside the Loran) is a Rocky Mountain Instruments micro monitor for quiet a number of functions 



I have worked on a few projects but not much electrical, I have a Preceptor Ultra Pup that I am learning about some aspects as I maintain it.

Thanks for posting back on my post guys.

Also see the first post as that is what I responded to 



   Lee KR-2 System Architecture



Maybe he sent you something at one time.. looks like back in 2009

   Did a data dump on my email archives for the List

   and found a series of postings from/to Bob Lee

   dating back to 2006. I also found a copy of his

   web-page dissertation on electrical system planning.

   I've posted them here.

   It had been some time since we discussed his project

   and I'd forgotten the extent of our conversations.

Thanks so much Bob

I will go have a look at that now.

Hi Bob

 just read through the emails quickly but I get the feeling and also had the feeling looking at the panel itself on the link I provided earlier that this might be over complicated and quite experimental in the sense of what I will be using the  airplane for.

I am guessing that Bob has the book and that I will get that along with other documentation for the project when I pick it up.

I did try to go to the links on you sire but for some reason could not access the downloadable pdfs

I will try again, and also the links to Bob's architecture are gone because his site is no longer active. If you have copies and could send to me that would be interesting reading for me.

I thank you for your help with understanding this and I think your first suggestion of starting over may be the ticket. I just feel sticking as close to the KISS principle is often a good decision. I will have enough to do without complicating my flight demands .

Thanks Again

Bob R

   I found the pictures you cited earlier. Clearly, this airplane

   has been fitted with WWWWAAaaayyy too much hardware for

   the missions on which it's likely to be flown.



   I remember when Ken Rand first debuted the KR series airplanes.

   Very impressive cost/performance ratios! But just as Burt

   Rutan would roll his eyes at the notion of putting an IO320

   engine, 60A electrical system with auto pilot in a LongEze,

   I'm sure Ken would have been similarly distressed to

   see how this example of his vision was being 'expanded'.



   The instrumentation package is pretty dated. You might

   spend as many dollars getting all the existing hardware

   flight worthy as it costs to replace them with more

   modern, lighter, smaller and simpler components.



   This can be and should be a simple, practical, fun machine

   with few CTCTOF factors. Let's talk about your needs

   and plans here on the List . . . this is a great opportunity

   for learning for all of us.

   Bob . . .

   Yeah . . . he speaks to Figure Z-14 which is an

   exceedingly capable system tailored for airplanes

   MUCH larger than a IMC KR-2. I recall that

   conversation a bit now . . . I tried to get him

   to down-size.



I am guessing that Bob has the book and that I will get that along 

with other documentation for the project when I pick it up.



   Perhaps you need the book now. Understand you're

   getting the airplane next spring. Now is the time

   to start boning up on the options.



I did try to go to the links on you sire but for some reason could 

not access the downloadable pdfs

   Don't understand this. The .pdf file is the compilation

   of e-mails I found. The .htm file is a copy of a page

   from his website found on the WayBack machine . . .

   an organization that endeavors to take periodic 'snapshots'

   of websites and preserve them. The page you cited from

   Bob's website happened to be one of those captures on

   the WayBack servers.



   I just checked both links at



http://www.aeroelectric.com/Bob_Lee/



   and they're working . . .

I will try again, and also the links to Bob's architecture are gone 

because his site is no longer active. If you have copies and could 

send to me that would be interesting reading for me.



   If you have any specific links to old pages, you

   can try searching for them at http://archive.org/web/



I thank you for your help with understanding this and I think your 

first suggestion of starting over may be the ticket. I just feel
