Seems to me they also have a flange stud that is slightly off line for indexing, so the prop may require having one hole opened up a bit. Hey, but with the intakes on top, you could just tell everyone it's the latest tuned top intake model like the IO-360s and IO-550s found in the Cirrus Aircraft. I've only seen one of these engines in service in an aircraft. That was on a Dragonfly. He called it a top intake C-90, but the plane performed pretty well with it. FWIW, put an O-200 cam in it if it isn't already, magnaflux the crank so you know what you have, or switch to an O-200 crank, then mount an Ellison throttle body to it and you would have a nice engine. But even if it's only a C-90 configuration, it would perform well in a KR." I would add to that my hangar mate has been flying a VP2 with one of these converted GPU's known as PC-60's they share most of their components with C-90's. The case is significantly different and is set up to be bed mounted. The cylinders not only have the intake on the top but also is drilled for only one spark plug. My hangar mate drilled the cylinders for the extra plug and had the cylinders honed and chromed as they had some pitting. A second mag was installed on the accessory case where the starter normally resides on the GPU. The crankshaft flange was opened up to correct the offset mounting hole and Continental prop bosses inserted to match the normal pattern. He just turned over 1000 hrs with no significant problems. The only real problem is that with the case it has it is a bit heavier than an C-90 and doesn't seem to put out the equivalent horsepower. Otherwise it is good solid engine that has served him well.

Remember, YOU don't have to build 51% of the aircraft to register as an amateur build aircraft. You just have to demonstrate that 51% was amateur built. With the fuselage all being 5/8" spruce and plywood that is clearly hand laid and glued with lots of hand laid glass, I don't think that will be an issue. BTW, I did this several years ago when I acquired an Avid Flyer under similar circumstances. To get a Repairmans Certificate, you have to demonstrate enough knowledge of the aircraft to convince the DAR, who will send a letter to the FSDO, that you know enough about the construction to properly maintain the aircraft. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > without airworthiness, how could this ever be registered? > > > > > > KR2 for sale > > > > http://morgantown.craigslist.org/for/5284648597.html > > > ___ > Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search. > To UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to KRnet-leave at list.krnet.org > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html > see http://list.krnet.org/mailman/listinfo/krnet_list.krnet.org to change > options >

He's selling it as "parts". Where could you buy any kind of 0-200 continental that still will start on a hand prop for $3,500. If I didn't live so far away, I'd buy it for the running motor. You guys are starting to sound like "Certificated" airplane guys. JMHO. Mark W.

You can also license it Exhibition Experimental. Has a few restrictions but not like it used to be. Like this plane, by the time you get through rebuilding all the problem areas you could probably convince a DAR to help you. Take a lot of pictures. Document what you have done and what it took to do it.. Even if the engine/plane was stored outside covered, it shouldn't be a major problem? Take a good look at it when/if you go see it. Ask the owner before making the trip! Looks like it could be a good deal for someone.

I believe that the 0-200 motor is a converted APU. I wonder if it could be updated with modern cylinders? Jeff Scott, what do you think? Woops It looks like it is stored outside. If so, it's junk...
