Glenn,
My dad's old KR-2S started out using a venturi that was mounted on the bottom of the fuse between the main gear to drive the attitude indicator and the DG. It worked, but only barley put out enough vac to get the AI to indicate right after about 10 min of flight time. This is obviously not ideal, and besides, the venturi on the bottom looked terrible! Later on, he machined a mounting plate and a belt drive to run a normal aircraft vac pump off the Revmaster 2180 and that worked like a charm. I'm not sure how he did it, but I could get you his email if you'd like to ask. BTW, this is my first post to the list! I'd like to say hello to everyone. I'm beginning the build on a KR-2S in Palmetto GA at my house. Thanks to everyone for the good information here and I look forward to meeting many of you at the next gathering that I plan on attending.
