KR> Progress report
Just an update on some work on my KR2. I've spent right at 22 hours in the last three days working on it. I installed some turnbuckles into the cables for the tailwheel so I can adjust the tension independently from the rudder cables even though they are interconnected. Also started work on a new cowling. I had one made but didn't like the way it turned out so I'm doing it again. Bet none of you have ever had to make a part twice.yeah right! Anyway, if you are on the krnet.org, click on my link to see the latest pictures of the cowling in progress. I also taxied the fuselage around last Sunday after making a new control arm for the carburetor. Now it runs like the proverbial raped ape and when I was taxiing I swear that if I'd given it full throttle it might have flown without the wings. Man did it take off across the ramp. It was about 8:15 in the evening and no one else was at the airport and the ramp was empty so I thought, why not? Keep all of the updates coming on the net. They make for interesting reading and make me want to get done just that much sooner. Neal Hornung lt1corve...@earthlink.net EarthLink Revolves Around You.

Hi Howard. I read your post but thought you had changed the gear alignment and taken her up for a lap around the circuit. Maybe others have read it the same way. The first flight of any homebuilt aircraft is a huge day for the builder and those who contributed to its success.

KR> Was CHT , Now Mixture Meter
I am replacing mine tonight. They have a life of about 100 hours with leaded fuel.

However, I have heard that they won't last very long when used with leaded fuels. Of course that may not be a problem for much longer, but for now it still is. I'll direct the question to Sid or others using the meter Do the mixture meters have a longevity issue when used with leaded fuels such as 100LL? Thanks in advance for your answer.

I would say no, but it can be an indication that you need to make an adjustment. Making the mixture more rich, will cool down the heads. I always like to keep a little "richability" in reserve, just in case the CHT starts getting too high. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC -- Ever heard of a mixture meter?
