KR> Jabiru powered KR2-S
The Jabiru is lighter so you may need to hang the battery on the firewall. You can also fit spacers between the firewall and the mounting to extend it forward. The engine must be offset 3 degrees to the right. My mounting is 10mm longer on the left side but untested. The long nose makes it look like fighter plane. You can also mount the engine higher than a VW that will allow you to swing a larger prop. As soon as as I fitted the RPM pick-up my 3300 will be ready to fly.

KR> RE: Jabiru engines
Hi Kolbjørn Have a look at this and other forums on the Recreational Flying site .. a very helpful bunch of aviation enthusiasts and one of the most popular aviation sites in the world! http://www.recreationalflying.net/forums/aircraft-avionics-engines-and-props .64/ You will find lots of threads about Jabiru engines and there is a specific Jabiru forum on the site as well The problems and issues are discussed on here as well as lots of general interest stuff, and, Like the KR net, I have found that there are some very knowledgeable people prepared to share their wisdom if asked . Not sure if you have to log in, but it is free and even better, spam free The site is privately owned by a recreational aircraft pilot and owner and was set up for the sole purpose of promoting safe flying and friendly communication .

KR> Wheel Pant Mounting Brackets
Once again I have broken a wheel pant mounting bracket. This makes at least ten times they have broken and each time I am paying around 10 dollars to get them welded back together. They are made from 6061T6 aluminum. When I made them I simply bent them to shape but eventually they started breaking at the bends. I would get them welded and then over time they would break at the edge of the weld. All from vibration of course. For what I have paid to have them repaired I could have had them gold plated by now. Anyway, what are your brackets made from and how are they holding up? Mark Jones (N886MJ) Stevens Point, WI E-mail: flyk...@charter.net Web: www.flykr2s.com
KR> Jabiru powered KR2-S
Hi Kolbjoern I have a standard KR2 with a Jabiru 2200 Engine. See my WEB pages http://athertonairport.com.au/kr2/ http://athertonairport.com.au/kr2/jabiru_engine.htm http://athertonairport.com.au/kr2/w_and_b.htm Being that the KR2S is bigger than the standard KR2 I would go for the Jabiru 3300 engine (which is still lighter than a WV conversion engine and 120HP). Any other info please contact me. Regards Barry Kruyssen k...@bigpond.com http://athertonairport.com.au/kr2/
