KR> flying, KR 19-8322

[robert gill]

I'd like to make a little comment about flying my KR2, Granted I have only 
clocked up 5 hrs on it now in the last 3 day since I started flying it myself, 
but all the hype i had read about while building it, with being a very 
sensitive if not over sensitive plane to fly is absolute rubbish! or I just got 
it right! I cant stay out of this thing!!! it has to be possibly the easiest 
plane I have ever flown! the mod to to stabilizer by stretching it's span 6" 
and cutting the span of the elevator down by 4" has really paid off! still 
light, powerful and responsive but by comparison to the fin and rudder which is 
pretty much stock to the plan very light and very easy to catch you out and to 
get in trouble with over control on the ground with the tail up, but comparison 
between elevator and rudder responses, elevator would be half as sensitive as 
the rudder but still just as powerful, if the rudder is anything to go by, If 
any one is like myself as a low time pilot and building one, I could not 
recommend anything better than the mods that Troy Petteway did to the tail, 
just wish I did it to the fin and rudder. Test pilot stated to me just before I 
flew for the first time that, he has never flown a plane that is so easy to 3 
point land! and he is right! I could only imagine how sensitive the elevator 
would be if done to the plans. Would be very nervy on the first couple of 
landings until you got used to it.

That hub requires that the case be machined for it.  So you just buy a GPASC
2180 engine and you have the force one hub.  Revmaster has the same thing,
and I think they have a better engine, but have never had one, so   Oh
well, I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night.  And, Aero
Conversions also has one, but I do not recommend their engine for the same
reason.

You can get prop hub extensions from Sabre Mfg.

I like Seattle Avionics because they interface with many flight systems.
The are the one that Dynon has chosen to interface with.  It is easy to use
and it will calculate your way points for you.  It has a subscription fee,
but I think you get what you pay for.

KR> Roy Marsh's plane

[Mark Langford]

KRnetHeads,

Roy Marsh's plane came up this week, and his top speed of something like 
190.5 mph at the Sun100 Race.   Given the clipped wings, thin airfoil, and 
that he had a turbo on that Revmaster, it's not a huge stretch to do that 
kind of speed, but it's still pretty impressive for a KR2S with under a 100 
hp.  There's a little more info on Roy's plane at 
http://www.krnet.org/krs/rmarsh/ , which came from the Barnstormers ad last 
time it was sold.

And while I was looking for a copy of the Kitplanes article that documented 
Roy's plane, I was reminded of the nice resource that Don Reid put together 
for us, the collection of KR Sport Aviation articles located at
http://aerofoilengineering.com/KR/sportaviation/kr_SA.htm .  I'm still 
looking for that Roy Marsh kitplanes article.  I have the hard copy of that 
issue somewhere, buried in the attic, no doubt, but I'm sure it's out on the 
web somewhere...

Randy,
You get type 4 hub and bearings from Great Plains Aircraft supply co under
type 1 parts. It is called a force 1 prop hub and bearing. The Great Plains
web site is on the KR net Internet List. I have some type 4 engine basic
parts,such as case, crank, oil pump. I think Great Plains still has some of
the other parts for type 4. It gets a lot more expensive than a type 1. I
gave up and am using a type 1.

mention it.

I have a' dribbler 'carb(Rev-Flo) also on my KR-1 and run a O2 meter to 
monitor the mixture setting.
I suggest you get a regular carb with a venturi that actually atomizes 
the fuel.  There is no happy medium with either a Aero-Carb or a RevFlo. 
I have run both on my aircraft with the same results as you describe. 
Constantly adjusting is just part of the game with these types of carb.

PS , a Cyclone Fuel Saver type of device installed in the intake 
manifold does help atomize the fuel better and get egt readings a lot 
closer than running without one...

KR> Roy Marsh's plane

[Kenneth Wiltrout]

I have the Roy Marsh Kitplanes magazine. If you can find the January 1995 copy 
it's on the cover. I sat in it at Oshkosh and spoke to Roy for a bit. I was 
hooked at that point but knew I would need to raise the canopy since it was on 
my head before it closed. The Duck Tape on the wings was due to over stressing 
the wings in a high G loop on the way to the show.

In case anyone else is in need of type 4 parts, I have a clean case, new stock 
pistons with rings, connecting rods and cylinders and some miscellaneous parts. 
I'm not sure if I still have a good stock crankshaft, would have to look and 
see.
