KR> Inspiration

[Mike Arnold]

Hey Jon, I am new to the net, I have heard a lot about the Corvair engine.
I just bought a KR-1 and a KR-2 both have VW. How does the Corvair compare?
Are Corvair engines hard to find?

Stephen, I have a KR2 that I am about to restore (refinish). I doubt this
is a Ken Rand KR2 S. If it is I agree its musiem for sure. If it is not I
would be interested in trading my complete KR2 for the S model. I have tons
of documentation on it. Let me know if you have any interest. This was 1990
model.

How do you locate the thrust line on the fire wall. Makeing my own motor
mount.

KR> Thrust line

[Mike Arnold]

So, no one wants to wade in on the thrust line on the fire wall for a KR2
huh. No Aeronautical engineers out there.

KR> Thrust line

[Mike Arnold]

Thanks Larry and those that responded. The  plane is already built but no
engine or mount. It was originally built with a 0-200. I am putting a VW
1835 on it. Insert sad emote here. I am going to build an adjustable jig.
You thought I was going to say "engine mount" didn't you. Ha ha ha,  . .

Looking forward to getting back to MVN. As soon as I know the date and that
it
is firm at MVN I am going to block my calendar for the Gathering. I have

missed the last few and I do not intend on missing this one.

KR> Motor Mt thrust line

[Mike Arnold]

Happy New Year KR people! I asked this question once not sure I got a
consensus.  There are two kinds of KR builders as I see it, plan built and
project finishers. At this time I am the latter.  I am finishing a KR2S
without a motor mount or engine cowl.  Is there a specific thrust line in
reference to the top longeron ? I have a KR2 engine cowl that doesn't tell
me anything.  Thanks for help.

KR> Wing Attach Fitting questions

[Mike Arnold]

Hey Mark remember when I talked to you a few months ago about the wings on
my KR2S I aquired that didn't line up? I was going to make a template and
figure which airfoil I had then decide which one I had to replace? Well I
just turned them over and swapped sides in stead! ! Please don't tell
anyone else on the net I had them upside down. Thanks

Yes on the sarcasm.  Lol. I prefer aluminum tube to side of bell crank next
to spar. Or "pull-pull" cable. You will probably get several better ideas
before long. I don't see how it would work as shown on video. Good luck.

KR> VW cylinder heads

KR> FW: Type 1 Cylinder Heads - cooling

[Mike Arnold]

I co-builder friend of mine has looked into a company called Shaefer Oil.
Spelling could be wrong, however it has been formulated for air cooled
engines particularly motorcycles. Test have proven a decrease in head
temperature for identical engines at same conditions. It is not cheap! but,
neither is a taxi at 5,000 feet!! Friction is reduced according to the
tests obviously. Check it out.

KR> Continental Engine Mount

[Mike Arnold]

Can you get some new bolts through the firewall? If you can sounds like
your going to need a sub frame to bolt the engine mount to.

Yes, and if Continental knew what he did with that sometimes they would

KR> VW Engines

[Mike Arnold]

Re. Great planes. With all due respect Mark, and I mean that sincerely,
their has been the same man at the heart of Great Planes from the beginning
and one of the owners and still directing the engine department and most
other aspects of GP. By the way look at all the changes Corvair has gone
through and the break-aways if you know what I mean. Not a lot of companies
keep the same owners and CEO. Just my .02

KR> Selling my VW engine

[Mike Arnold]

I am selling my VW motor and accessories and giving KR guys or gals 1st
crack at it before I go to Barnstormers etc. Here is the info.
Stock 1600cc motor, new bearings and rings. I haven't taken the heads off,
but I know the guy that put the engine together and he is very good. He
used it as a "test mule" motor to taxi a crop duster he was building. It
has never flown in a homebuilt that I know of.
Comes with hub and Sterba 54x42 prop that is in good shape.
The Intake needs cleaning up but works with the carb that is on it.
It was hand prop'd so has no flywheel on it but comes with a new one.
Includes a complete Diehl accessory case with 35A alternator never
installed and the new light weight starter all from Great Plains.
Includes a Comp u fire ignition kit
and a new bosch blue coil,
Chrome push rod tubes
New drive gear installation kit
I am including a "hapi" type motor mount that fits the Diehl acc. case
built by me in a jig so it is straight and square.
I have a never installed German .010 .010 crank I was going to use to
rebuild the engine they are hard to find so I bought when I could. It is
perfect
Including an extra pair intake port
Everything you see in pics goes with it.
Price is $3500.00
While this motor will run and has been installed on an airplane to taxi it,
I am NOT representing it to be air-worthy, use your discretion, I was going
to build it to 1835 cc with the 10 10 crank. I am not responsible for what
you do with the engine. Just selling a lot of stuff for a great price. Call
for any info you might need. I can get more pics if you need them. Thanks
btw I am going with a different power plant or it would not be for sale.

Re: KR> strobe power supply

[Mike Arnold via KRnet]

The length of wire from the power sorce to the light (LED) is not a
problem. Not a lot of current draw, and heat is not a problem if you use a
proper size wire. I would suggest you run shielded wire and ground the
shield at the power source not at the wing tip. This will keep electrical
noise down.

I had the privilege of building an 1835 engine at Mary's shop a couple
years ago with Marty at my side most of the time. To say it was an honor
would not do it justice. His passing was a loss. Marty was a treasure. Ken
Hurley has that engine now.

KR> Firewall construction

[Mike Arnold via KRnet]

Hey KR 'ers how has everyone constructed their firewall? I have the
plywood, fiberfrax, fiberfrax adhesive, and ss sheet. Is the fiberfrax
adhesive enough to hold the SS sheet to the plywood or does it need T-88 or
something. Don't want to come apart.

Mark I think your right, I have designed the mounts so that they bolt
through the re-enforced part of the fuselage. I am going to apply the
fiberfrax sealer (adhesive) to the plywood and SS sheet then epoxy (T 88)
the whole thing to the fuselage. The mounting bolts should hold the motor
on.

Re: KR> Parts needed

Ralph I have a nice kr2 cowl, I'm not sure what it was designed to fit.
Give your email and I can sent you some pics and dimensions

Re: KR> Interesting engine for sale

[Mike Arnold via KRnet]

Ok I tried to stay out of this but, as some of you know I am putting a
Suzuki G15 in my KR2S. Full disclosure I am a dealer for Aeromomentum.
Forgetting that, I think the Suzuki is a great option for a KR. Great
performance, light weight, great fuel economy, overhaul is very affordable.
Can't beat the price. This basic engine has been around for decades and
proven to be tuff. These engines are all brand new not rebuilds. I am not
going to write a novel on this net about it, but if you want more
information on it contact me. Mine will be in this year for sure.

Do you have the cost of the hat and shirt yet I? I definitely want one each.

Thanks Larry, not a problem I definitely want the 50th anniversary edition.
I am registered and will be there.
