Just curious about the length of time between landing and Full back on the 
stick... I stick my tail wheel at touchdown  and elevator up helps slow the 
plane with more drag???

Re: KRnet> Composition of a KR 2 with Subaru EA 81

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

I say go for it, slap that Subaru in there… I’m sure that your mechanical 
prowess has made you much more knowledgeable than the other 2 thousand aircraft 
builders who have tried to convert this baby over. I say this jokingly because 
I to thought the same thing until I realized that there’s no way of all the 
people before me, that I was the smartest. Sometimes it’s just better to learn 
from other peoples mistakes. That being said I had 2 margaritas at dinner. 😳

Hello Randy,



I want to come back to this, I know someone who has also installed such a type 
of engine, not in a KR 2.

But it goes perfectly, he did with a reduction case and he changed the engine 
management.

He will be willing to help me too.



Do you maybe have any drawings of the engine mount? I want to make the engine 
mount the same way as Les Palmer.



Thanks in advance



Kind regards,

Arie Post

Until he popped up with my name I wasn't gonna say anything. I would not waste 
my time with that Subaru. Les had a total of about an 4 1/2 hours on his KR I 
had about 60 hours on it. He had troubles with a reddrive it could never 
produce the horsepower it says it's supposed to produce. the radiator takes up 
a lot of space so there's a lot of drag through the cowing. it's heavy once you 
add everything up including the water. I sold it to a guy down south of Waco I 
believe somewhere around Georgetown and I know he had a problem an the engine 
quit and he put it in a pasture I don't know what happened to it after that. 
Les was a Tinker and he was really good at it. But he could never get that 
thing to perform like it was supposed to. I would fly it for an hour or two and 
he'd work on it for a week or two. I flew it to one or two flyings. and I 
believe he trailered it to two of them.

The first KR I owned had a removable forward deck that included the fuel
tank. Lifting that unit away from the fuselage exposed the entire forward
side of the instrument panel. That made rewiring the panel greatly easier. I
struggle to accomplish the same task on my current airplane. I wish the
turtle deck would have been removable. Highly suggest this option for future
builders!

KR> tail feathers My two cents.

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Hey guys, I can't elaborate on anything shorter than a KR2SS since that's all 
I've flown. I lengthened my 2S  by 14" and because I was building ( in my mind 
) for less drag and more speed I decided to use the original plans size 2S tail 
feathers. So I have the AS5048 new wing design up front and the original flat 
tail in the rear. I have flown my girl to all over the country and I have no 
complaints. That being said, this is not a Piper or Cessna. You have to fly the 
plane and I'm fine with that. I once flew with a guy that filled out his log 
book while on autopilot. You are not going to do this in a KR. I just don't see 
what all the fuss is about, I've flown with Mark with his short KR2 for 
thousands of miles and he always manages to get it back down safely In 
closing, if you want to be able to do 150 mph on 5 gallons an hour and don't 
mind having to fly the plane, the KR is a great plane If you want the 
comfort of a plane that flies itself and is virtually idiot proof on landing, 
the KR should not be your first choice.

Great day at the airport.  Sunny, cool, calm wind.  I made a 50 mile
flight for breakfast and then came back and tinkered on the Challenger.
Mid afternoon I went for another local flight and landed at a grass
strip.  I thought I'd better get some flight time before winter set in.
Engine running well after a mag timing adjustment.

Anyway, while stumbling about the internet I came across
"https://flightaware.com/live/airport/KMWA"; and selected my home
airport.   It had both my flights logged, I guess with ADS-B.  I was
tracked every 20 seconds (approx) with speed, direction, altitude, climb
or decent, and I forgot what else.  It had my complete flight track for
both flights.  Interesting but scary. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING !!!

KR> Fuel mixture

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

My two cents worth.. My O-200 with the M/S carb does exactly what Jeff and 
Larry have been discussing. After a lot of thought and several conversations 
with Jeff I decided to adjust the pilot instead of spending more money and time 
chasing a non problem. Once I get to a comfortable altitude I just pull the 
RPM's down around 2500 and she's purring like kitten. The noise level also 
drops to a more comfortable level and she still has enough power to continue 
the climb to 12,000. I guess what I'm saying is "Perfect is the enemy 
of good". Get her done and go flying.

You've got another KR nearly ready to fly over around Mobile Bay.  There are 
others in the area as well.  Get with it!

Obviously I'll be there with Jim Faughn's KR.  No retracts, and some
nice touches like the "opera windows", but it's defintely per the plans
in most respects, and still pretty decent looking with his 1990 paint
job on it.  YepI can probably make it in there again.

 I'm starting to enjoy my ADSB Mark and I flew to Arkansas to see Jeff S. a 
few weeks ago and I was able to see Mark on the screen as soon as he took off 
from his home airport. It's really pretty neat to be able to see where someone 
is at other than guessing. Also on the way back home I was picking up weather 
in front of me and with a quick look in that direction I could see the rain 
shafts coming down. I'm really starting to like this electronic stuff Heck, 
I'm even considering an autopilot.

Subject: KR> Sweet bitter news...

I think its time that I share this with you. I have been keeping this news to 
myself because I had not made a decision as to how to move forward but now that 
I made my decision, I think I will share my situation. On May 7, 2020, I was 
rushed to surgery to have a Coronary Arterial Bypass Graf also known as CABG 
X5. I had three arteries at 100% blocked and two at 80%. Its been a month since 
that operation. I was released three weeks ago from the hospital here in Dallas.
A week after being released I thought about my KR2 project and what to do. 
After reading your post about flying here and there for meets and gatherings I 
said I want to be a part of that... and I can't do it if I got rid of my 
project or worst, abandon it. So I decided to move forward with my project and 
its been at least two weeks now that I have been using it as a source of 
inspiration to get better and to soldier on. I posted some updates on our 
Facebook page a few days ago and I will continue to make small advances as my 
recovery permits.
I may not be able to fly into our meet in September since my physical 
activities are currently limited, but God willing I will be there in person 
again. I have a great friend that finished building an RV7 and is now helping 
me with my project. Thank God for great friends.
I wanted to reach out to this great group of fellow builders and to thank you 
for the inspiration and motivation to keep moving forward in spite of the 
trials and tribulations that life throws at us. I want you to know that my goal 
is fly this airplane out to these gatherings here and there which is why we 
built our little time machines. Blue skies always...

Re: KR> Couple of breakfast or lunch get togethers.

Yes, yesterday was another great day. I'm about 45 minutes south of Mark so as 
I got near his airport I could see him come up on the ADS-B. A green dot with 
his tail number and the altitude differential + or -. Pretty cool stuff. I 
have to agree with Mark on the KR performance and low cost to operate. Best 
Bang for your buck airplane out there. I had a tailwind coming home so it was 
only an hour and 10 minute flight. Keep building guy's, It's worth it.

flew to Jeff's house in Arkansas for brats (no beer though, sadly). KRs
are great little time machines, and it's hard to imagine that there are
many other planes that go this fast on so little fueldefinitely at
the front of the pack of the most economical airplanes to operate,
especially at these speeds.

Hi guys. I have been very tempted to drive my VW Vanagon to Mt
Vernon, just to see you guys, Chris, and visit. However, I have been
tilling up the garden for planting sweet corn, and doing some brick
laying on my garage today. In addition, tomorrow is my church's first
day of being inside, since March. I do have good news, as my Family
Physician has signed off on my 3rd class medical reform paperwork a
few weeks ago. This is after having holes in my abdomen, for 3 years,
due to infected mesh the VA hospital put in me in 2013, to fix a
hernia. After three years of the VA putting me off,, the Cleveland
clinic repaired the leaky stomach, so i could eat again, and later
repaired the hernia. I was on liquid TPN for 16 months, and could not
eat or drink during this time. I never tried to renew my 3rd class
medical. I am reasonably sure I can pass the 3rd class, but decided to
go with the 3rd class Medical Reform. N455JS, has taken a back seat to
everyday life, but now I need to get her back in the air. Hope to see
you all, soon. John Shaffer, N455JS Fremont, Ohio.

It looks like I got very lucky in the building process because 236MS flies

Oscar, I do a hard climb to around 5000ft. and then pull the O-200 back to 
around 2500 RPM while lowering the nose a bit for a cruise climb. After 
reaching 10, 11 or 12000ft I stop the climb at desired alt. I usually end up

KR> Cutting the ailerons

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

A quick tip on cutting the ailerons. I cut mine 90 degrees to the leading edge 
thinking that this would match the airflow over the wing, This added several 
days to the build and a lot of headache trying to keep a tight gap. While 
working the aileron up and down it worked the gap in and out. Total pain in the 
but trying to make it perfect. If I had my do overs, I'd cut the 90 degrees 
to the trailing edge. …. Just my 2 cents.

Following Mark Langford to Oshkosh last year at 10 thousand feet he waited 
until we were on top of Freeport IL. airport before he decided to push the nose 
over to get down. I tried to stay behind him in a steep dive but I was worried 
about over speeding my bird and at 200 mph I gave up and pulled the nose up a 
bit. I immediately lost visual of Mark and turn into a spiraling 360 to keep 
from over speeding. By the time I completed the 360 Mark was long gone. To make 
a long story short, Mark has shown me that the KR will take more than I am 
willing to give.

Quick question.
I have a balanced elevator. And will balance ailerons. Just wondering if the 
rudder really needs balancing.  Trying to save weight. So far this build is 64 
lbs lighter than my first build at this stage.

KR> The KR Gathering.

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

I know most of you guys and gals are stuck inside because of this virus but 
have faith that this will pass and we'll all be back in the air soon. That 
being said, Now would be a good time to flip over to the KR Gathering site and 
register to attend. As for me, Once I register it's just even more motivation 
to keep the KR in top shape and ready for the trip Looking forward to 
seeing you there.

Re: KR> Revmaster Props (carry-over from the FB page)

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

There are just so many variables when selecting a prop such as gross plane and 
pilot weight, engine horsepower, amount of drag hanging out in the airstream 
and density altitude that you just have to go with what you feel will work the 
best. At least now you have a starting point to work from. I would just caution 
on going with the longer prop that length seems to kill RPM. Have you looked on 
the KRNET.org performance spread sheet for VW's ?

Subject: KR> Revmaster Props (carry-over from the FB page)

I have a Tri Gear KR that I bought from John Bouyea, which I am considering
re-propping.

The plane currently has a small-valve Revmaster 2100D & 52x52 Sterba prop.
Climb performance is not-so-great, and airspeed is ~115mph. Static RPM is
high - although I haven't used a digital tach on it just-quite-yet to get a
number for how-high.

Although I've asked this on the KR FB page & not gotten much in the way of
solid answers (lots of discussion & people reminding me that I am
under-propped with the 52, little else), I am wondering why ~52in props are
so common with VWs...

A 60" prop turning 3200RPM = 75% Mach. 80% at 3400.
There appears to be enough ground-clearance for a 60" prop on this aircraft.

Am I using the wrong RPM numbers? Do people typically cruise higher than
3200 with this engine?

Has anyone else used a 'big' prop, and if so what are your thoughts?

KR> HAPI VW

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Hey Guys, At the last Gathering I met a KR owner that lives about 30 miles from 
me. He bought what was supposed to be a flying KR but was unable to get it 
running once he got it home. He has taken the HAPI off the plane and in the 
hopes of getting another KR in the air, I've offered my assistance to rebuild 
the engine. I know that throwing the HAPI in the trash would be a good start 
but he's wanting to just get it flying before he sinks a lot of money into it. 
He's bringing it over tomorrow so I'll keep you informed on what I find. In the 
meantime, If anyone has a CHEAP Revmaster, Great Planes or Arovee laying around 
the hanger. He might be needing one.

Several of the KR pilots here in the Southeast were gonna meet for lunch today 
but our destination airport had low ceilings along with most of our home 
airports. With the mini gathering cancelled I was able to take the KR up 
through the broken clouds high enough for the transponder to receive the signal 
from Birmingham. The uAvionics echo UAT that I installed last week wasn't 
picking up the transponder so after calling tech support I was ready to try 
again. Much to my amazement, it all worked... I am so used to stuff not working 
that it doesn't feel right when things do what there supposed to do. Finally 
ADS-B working and ready for the Gathering in Lee's Summit, Mo.

KR> Subaru 2 cents

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Good morning guys, Every so often we get into the discussion of whether or not 
the Subaru is a good alternative to the airplane engine. As far back as I can 
remember I've had a wrench in my hand and I still consider myself a fair 
mechanic. We all would like to think that we could work out the issues flying 
behind a Subaru offers but several years ago I realized that the chances that I 
could find the "magical fix" that several thousand other pilots before me 
hadn't been able to do was just not worth the fight. I decided to go with the 
Cont. O-200 and after trips from Talladega Al. to Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois 
and all over the southeast I have no regrets. My advice, spend a few extra 
bucks on a proven engine. You'll save $$$ in the long run.
Just my opinion, your ideas may vary and that's OK.

If all of the things that I've done wrong in the cockpit were to come to light, 
you would definitely be wondering about my intelligence... I have a radio story 
that happened on my first night cross country that still embarrasses me to this 
day. We were flying to Huntsville, Al. which is a towered airport and the 
instructor wasn't much on small details, he often forgot that I was a student 
pilot. Approaching Huntsville I made contact with the controller and all was 
well until he said, (Say Altitude). As I sat there thinking why did he say, Say 
altitude instead of state altitude of even better he could have said, How high 
are ya ? About that time the instructor screamed SAY ALTITUDE ( well it seemed 
like he was screaming.) Needless to say, I pushed the button and said, 
Altitude. Talk about embarrassed. That's one of those mistakes that you'll 
never make twice.

KR Guys, It's very quiet on the net so I'll shoot out an update.  I haven't 
been doing much flying even though the weather in Alabama has gotten a lot 
better. I have been able to renew my 3rd class medical and took a CFI up for my 
flight review last week. The KR is due a condition inspection this month so 
I'll have to get busy on that. To really screw with my spare time, My son has 
bought his first house and it's a fixer upper, which means my flying time is 
non existent until I can get him moved in. On the other hand, It's a father/son 
bonding thing. That's about all for now, Hope to see you guys soon.

ACK ELT issues. When I turn on the transponder it turns on the ELT, this is not 
good. So last weekend I pulled the pilot side wing off and moved the 
transponder antenna out to the first bay of the leading edge. Today I took her 
up and turned everything on, It looks like the problem is solved. I won't be 
comfortable until I can put some more time on it the way it is...… I had to get 
this fixed before I could move on to ADSB out.

Re: KR> engine work

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

I'll agree with Jeff as I bought a mid time o-200 for the KR that was only 
supposed to have oil leaks. About an hour into test flights, the oil pressure 
bottomed out. Pulled it off, took it home and disassembled it. The main 
bearings were as bad as I have ever seen. Now I'm flying confidently behind a 
fresh O-200. It's the old saying, How much is your life worth ?

KR> N236MS fuselage measurements

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Just got in, I have been at the airport all day moving my Transponder antenna 
to the outer wing. Trying to get it as far away from my ELT as possible. While 
I was there I grabbed a few measurements...…..The firewall is widened 2 inches, 
my cabin area is 40" at the panel, mid cockpit is 41" and the seat backs are 
39", These are all inside measurements. Spar to firewall plywood is 24 3/4", 
Could not get a true measurement to the rear, but all I did was add 1 bay to 
the rear.

Re: KR> Interesting engine for sale

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

I wasn't going to comment but since you ask The man behind this engine is 
Jan Eggenfellner from the failed Eggenfellner Subaru . If you google this you 
will see that Jan has left several RV builders broke and with no engine to 
mount on their airplane. Jan promised more horsepower than the engine could 
produce at more weight than he claimed. Cooling issues was also a factor for 
this engine.  Please research this and come to your own conclusion about his 
character...… As far as his Viking engine, I've been hearing about a lot of 
overheating issues. There have been several for sale lately so that kind of 
tells me that there's issues.

Subject: KR> Interesting engine for sale

Anybody know anything about these engines, or whether they’d be a good fit for 
a KR?

I looked up the Viking Engines website and on one hand, the performance seem 
decent, but on the other I’d be on edge running a little Honda engine at 
4000-5000 RPM for the duration of an entire flight. That just doesn’t seem like 
a task that the little Honda Fit engine was once designed for.

I am also having a hard time picturing their 90 HP engine only weighing 159 lbs 
(listed on their website).  After adding a radiator & coolant, fuel injection 
system, computer, and reduction gearbox, that figure seems awfully light for 
such a high powered motor. The 130 HP model seems a little reasonable, at 220 
lbs, about the same as a Corvair. Could this be the weight of just the engine 
without the above attachments?

seeing all the friends I've made over the years and even made some new ones. 
Over the years I've gone from builder to having completed a KR and this year I 
even felt comfortable giving a few rides. Already planning for next year, see

My KR is at Mt.Vernon, my Toyota is loaded with 2 P.A. systems, 30 year
collection of aircraft hardware if anyone needs something, three 600
pound scales if someone wants to weigh their aircraft, any tool that
anyone might need, and other "stuff" I can think to bring.  I'M
READY..

Side note.  My KR will not be flying at the Gathering as it has a weak
#2 cylinder but it will be opened up for display.  A 15 minute flight
home after the Gathering and I'll pull the cylinder for valve work and
then a prop balance.

LET THE FUN BEGIN !!

Everyone have a safe trip to the Gathering.

Re: KR> 24 years ago

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Just take a digital level and see how many degrees your wheel is leaning. Now 
that you have done this get a 2"x2"x 1' stick of aluminum and cut it with an 
electric miter saw. A chisel blade for cutting wood will do just fine. If your 
miter saw has dual adjustments, you can adjust toe in at the same time with the 
same shim. Drill 4 holes and mount.

24 years ago I was in Austin, Tx building my KR2S.  I drove to Arkansas
for a
gathering and met Jeff Scott, which resulted in my move to Los Alamos.
Anyway looong time ago, I don't recall exactly how I mounted my main
gear legs
and brackets.  But now I notice that the tires are wearing badly on the
outboard sides
I always thought the weight  of the KR would make the axles parallel to
the ground, but
nope, they're angled about 10-15 degrees - causing the wear. (?)

what? do I have to shim the bottom of the leg under the bracket?

Bye the way, I think I've got the thrust thing worked out, today, I did
a high speed test,
got it up to 55 mph and stopped it before last taxi way, less than half
the runway more like 3/8.
I think the issue was a plug wire not making good contact in the dist cap.

KR> home from Oshkosh.

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Made it home yesterday at 1:45. Not long after Mark dropped down through a gap 
in the clouds to descend to his airport I ran into a solid cloud layer. Went 
down through the last hole I could find and got down to 3500 feet to fly under 
a solid cloud layer the last 60 miles.  I really enjoyed seeing all the people 
that have become my friends over the years, Larry, Gwen, Joe, Mark, Robert, 
Roger and Rob. Also made a new friend from Australia, Phil Matheson. Nothing 
like sitting around with a cold one in your hand listening to good friends talk 
about flying. Next year, I think I'll stay longer.

I'm surprised they didn't award me the "Tweety Bird" prize for all the
"chirping" I did on landing.  I guess they could tell I was embarrassed
enough already.  Worst landing in many hours of flying.

Re: KR> Phase 1 testing

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Pete, This is great news, Congrats. The only advice I have is what everyone 
told me and it kept me from pounding mine into the ground. Until you get 
comfortable you'll probably land a bit hot and on touchdown she will more than 
likely bounce. If this happens, do not move the stick, with the power off and 
the drag out it will settle back down. If you chase the bounce and try to force 
it down, You'll come down hard on the nose gear. Good luck, we're pulling for 
you.

That time had finally come as the FAA will be coming on Thursday this week the

in a quandary as I'm being advised not to conduct the first flight myself as I 
am too invested in the plane having spent over a decade building it. I have 
been taking dual instruction to knock the rust off my flying skills, but 
unfortunately it's in a 172.  There is nothing close a a KR anywhere near the 
area. Is there anyone in the KR community to assist me as a start Phase 1? Any 
and all assistance and advise would be GREATLY appreciated.
Hopeful in Ohio,

KR> Cross country in the KR.

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

I'll start this off by stating that we have great friends that have moved to 
Fernandina Beach Fl. (FHB). From my airport (ASN) it's 293 nautical miles. We 
drove it once and only once. The wife and I decided that she was just gonna 
have to give the KR a try. Moving ahead, We have now made 3 trips down and back 
and she absolutely loves the speed of flying. We can make the trip in around 2 
to 2 1/2 hours depending on the winds. Memorial Day Monday we left FHB at 8:30 
for the flight home. Put the wife in the plane, packed one carry bag in the 
luggage area and let her hold the other in her lap until we reach altitude. We 
taxied to runway 27, went over check list and engine run up and away we went. 
The O-200 builds speed quickly and even with full fuel, the wife's 110 lbs. 
plus luggage it lifted off smoothly and started the 100 mph climb to 3000 ft. 
Once over the swamp I turned for home and climbed at 120 mph to 10,500 ft. 
After moving some fuel from the wing tanks to the header tank, We moved the  
bag that she was holding to the luggage area. With a full load and nose high 
climb attitude the more weight you can keep forward the more stable she feels. 
Beautiful blue sky with a few scattered white puffy clouds just below us and 
the sweet sound of the Continental singing her song Man, It just doesn't 
get any better than this.

have lunch with Mark Lankford. my wing loading stays high.
   I have talked to some guys over the years that started to fly and found 
themselves giving up because they didn't know what they would use it for and 
without purpose the cost became a burden. For me it is simple - I deserve my 
guilty pleasure...beyond the pleasure there are all the places I would not have 
seen, all the great people I would not have meet and become friends with, all 
the exceptional hospitality that I would not have experienced.

   Build on, Fly on, above all be safe,
Coming to an airport near you soon,

KR> KR2S nose heavy

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

When I was building my KR2SS knowing that I was going to hang the larger engine 
on the front (O-200), I put another 1/2 degree down on the leading edge of the 
horizontal stabilizer. It was not enough. With no trim, You have to hold back 
on the stick. It's bad enough that if you were to release back pressure, It 
would dive hard for the ground. This seems to be an issue with some KR's here 
on the net. With trim adjusted, she flies like a dream. Looking back, I wish 
that I could have designed a horizontal stabilizer that you could adjust for 
trim while in flight. There are several certified aircraft that have this but 
the design is a bit heavy for the tail of a KR. I know that Mark L. and his 
N56ML, had a ground adjustable that he designed with no weight penalty. If I 
were building today, I'd copy Mark on this too. As for my trim system, I 
decided to keep it internal with nothing on the outside of the airplane. I 
ended up using a 6 inch linear actuator and a bungy cord hooked to the elevator 
bell crank. After several adjustments on the bungy diameter and length, I found 
the perfect combination. I can fly hands off at any speed. That being said, 
Just keep building, These little pocket rockets are a hoot to fly.

Re: KR> Fuel pump O-200

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Vic, I gravity feed fuel from my header tank to the carb on my O-200 powered 
KR. My header tank is sitting on the bottom shelf that is behind the firewall. 
I can run it totally dry with the M/S carburetor with no problems. That being 
said, other than some high speed passes with steep climbs I'm pretty much a 
calm and coordinated flyer. One recommendation, Make sure your vent line 
doesn't trap fuel. Even gravity doesn't work if the vent becomes blocked. In 
the test phase I lost power twice and had to dead stick it in. I was lost for 
an answer until I talked to Jeff Scott, he is very knowledgeable man.

KR> awkward question

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Mildly KR related but every now and then when I'm discussing the KR with a non 
flier, I get the question. How much do you have in it or if you sold it how 
much could you get? This type of questioning just hits a nerve with me and I 
usually just tell them it was cheaper than their Bass Boat. Is it just me or 
does this happen to you ?

KR> hi speed taxi

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Stef, Hi Speed is a relative term. There's all kinds of room between low speed 
and takeoff speed. Since yours is a nosewheel just keep forward pressure on the 
stick and the other hand on the throttle. After all, You are a pilot, you've 
got this. Good luck.

Mike,

What rpm were you getting from the 0-200 at WOT?  My KR indicates
similar speed at 2750 / 2800 rpm (WOT) with similar prop.  I cruise at
about 2500 rpm and indicate 140 / 150 mph depending on temperature and
altitude.

Subject: Re: KR> Roger Baalmans plane

I can give you an opinion from a guy who has been looking for the best of the 
best options and what I am seeing with N886MJ.

First, Larry is right.  In my opinion this design has been pushed to its limit. 
 At this point most everything has been tried and the best options are being 
used.  If you build light and go as big as safely possible on the engine (which 
I believe is ~125hp), you can achieve a 1300MGW and 150mph cruise airplane(in a 
Tailwheel (TW) configuration).  As soon as you try to increase the MGW with 
more wing area your gonna slow the airplane because of weight and drag and then 
your gonna need that 150hp to go 150.  I have actually changed engines on my 
build 4 times.  First a Corvair, then an O-200, then and O-235 and now I am 
back to a Corvair.  Luckily I pretty much broke even on all those engines.  I 
am now headed twords the 120hp Corvair with my TW build.  My current 2S is a 
trigear and I am close to hitting that brick wall with the 100hp Corvair in it. 
 My top IAS is 150 at 1200lbs GW.  I have a few more mods to complete but I 
suspect I wont see much more speed.  Maybe 10 more if I am really, really 
lucky.  I settled on the KR many, many years ago because I wanted a 150mph 
cruise.  It's looking now like I might just get there with the 120hp and the TW 
configuration on my build plane.  Here is a video from a test I did a few days 
ago after I put the wheel fairings on.  Best I saw was 145 IAS @ WOT and about 
134 in cruise so I am a bit disappointed as I don't see this airplane getting 
to 150 cruise without me and the plane each loosing 100 lbs.

KR> Helping a friend.

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Hey Guys, A friend of mine is building a BD4 and since I have been given the 
title of fiberglass expert in the small circle of friends that I have, I have 
been called upon for advise and help. Mostly help. The BD4 has glass wings put 
together like stacking cups. You just glue another rib/wing shaped bucket on 
until you get the desired length. We are in the process of filling and sanding 
to get the cosmetics looking slick. It is bringing back memories of long days 
and nights spent sanding on the KR. Every now and again I think about building 
another but only for a second or two before I snap out of it. It was a lot of 
work over 9 years and this BD project is a harsh reminder. So for now, I'll 
just stick with N236MS. Hope to see you guys at SNF.

in the shop and finish and your KR too can look great setting on the ramp.

KR> Vibration

[Mike Sylvester via KRnet]

Hey Guys, Recently I have picked up a pretty strong vibration right before lift 
off and soon after landing. Having looked for it and not finding a problem I 
just figured it was tail wheel shimmy on our grooved runway. Yesterday, I 
hosted the local EAA Chapter 152 cookout. As things where winding down I took 
my friend Larry up in the KR. Larry only weighs 135 lbs. Everything went fine 
but I could feel the vibration again on landing. Rolling the KR back into the 
hanger and getting ready to close up shop I ask Larry to straighten the rudder 
and tailwheel for me. I usually just kick it around straight but trying to be 
gentle he knelt down and picked it up by the tailwheel. That's when he called 
out that the tailwheel assembly is loose. The Matco has one bolt holding it to 
the leaf spring and it had gotten a bit loose letting it move from side to 
side. Just as soon as he pointed this out I knew my problem was solved. I guess 
where I'm going with this is, If your plane is telling you something, Listen to 
it. It was almost embarrassing that he found the problem by accident and I 
didn't find it even when looking for it. Looking back I had checked it with 
full tail weight on the assembly and wasn't able to see movement.

have a UAT receiver, so in the US would be missing half of the GA traffic and 
all of the weather data, since that is also broadcast via UAT from ground 
stations.

Just watched the video and even got the wife to listen to the building song 
from a woman's point of view. She loved it. It fit her to a tee. It was also 
good to see old friends. Thanks Video Bob.

KRnetHeads,

Larry Flesner and I had an unexpected pleasure recently, when Video Bob
contacted us about posting those fantastic KR Gathering videos that he
made over the years on YouTube.  He is uploading them as he has time,
and will eventually get them all uploaded.  The first one was 2004, and
it's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iz_KG6wknA  .  2005 is also
there.  Others will follow, but that one's there for sure now.  Take a
look, and your building is guaranteed to go into overdrive!  For us
oldtimers, it's a great reminder of those Gatherings we've been to.

Subscribe to his channel and you'll get notifications when he uploads
new ones.  He plans to keep this particular site focused on KRs.  I'll
also add a link to the www.krnet.org<http://www.krnet.org> site.

Bob's doing great these days, which is welcome news!

Thanks Bob!
