KR> N216CB's First Flight

2008-10-12 Thread Jim Brewer
KR netters, First  a hearty second to Mark's comments, no more C-172 stats.  
Now to the real reason for my post,  At 8:15am this morning I flew N216CB for 
the first time.  Great flight,  I have a couple of squawks to fix, but the KR2 
flew like a dream.  I lost the airspeed indicator on take off, but the climb 
out was 840fpm,  then I lowered the nose slightly and it jumped to1200fpm.  I 
only flew one circuit around the pattern, as my CHT alarm went off at 440*.  I 
landed by sight and feel, and made probably the best landing that I will ever 
make in the plane.   I need info on the ratio for the size of the bottom cutout 
to exit the hot air as opposed to the inlet air.  I have a GPAS 2180 Rear Drive 
engine so any info from other VW KR owners will be appreciated.  No need to 
clog the net, e-mail me off net.  Thanks, Jim
