The engine is Great Planes :-) Alberto told me it's basically a Limbach, but
many changes have been applied, you're right again.
Bycicle is a rough translation for taildragger ("biciclo", in italian).
I was afraid I could be forced to register the KR2S as GA, but this one is
ultralight. Weight is ok, and stall speed... well, they'd better not to
check. Most of modern ultralight exceed the max, here :-) There are a lot of
ULM registered KR, in Italy, more than I could know!
About starting... you're right. I'd like to start... yesterday, but I live
in 57 square metres and simply cannot! The huge garage I'll have in 2006 is
a big surprise, because I actually didn't know I could get that room! My
workshop will be completely independent from the car space! My wife is very
supporting and I'm lucky for that.
I just hope that before the house is finished I can start to set up the
workshop in the basement. I know that it will take a looong time, but time
is on my side. Often the chance to have the workshop JUST under your house
gives you the opportunity to take advantage of every single hour, with no
need to plan.
