2008-10-12 Thread Kenneth B. Jones
I purchased a completed tri-gear KR-2 with a Continental A65.  The plane had 
not flown and was out of annual.  I am currently refurbishing and preparing for 
the condition inspection.  Equivalent flat plate seems to range from 1.18 to 
2.22 based on data from various flight reports and KR-2 specs.  (Who knows what 
it really is?)  Based on that, the A65 provides enough power to cruise in a 
range of 144 to 177 mph at 4.4 gph or 128 to 157 at 3.2 gph.  The high end 
speeds correspond to the official KR-2 specs with a gross  weight of 900 lbs, 
but all flight reports that I have found indicate less.  The average of the 
data I have accumulated (not including KR-2 spec data) would indicate a max 
speed of 164 mph, cruise @4.4 gph of 153 and economy cruise @3.2 gph of 136.  
In a little turbulence, with the KR-2's wing loading, the economy cruise speed 
will probably bounce you around quite a bit.

Your results certainly will be improved by keeping your project light, as well 
as taking care with your finish and engine cooling drag.

Hopefully, someone else will have some actual data and will be able to answer 
your question on g loading also.

  I am purchasing  a krt project, and my question is i have a continental  A65, 
how do they do in the kr2 what are teh typical cruise speeds with this engine, 
and will using carbonfiber or kevlar on the wing layups save much weight. what 
are the g limits to the design?

RE: Hopefully, someone else will have some actual data and will be able to

I believe that the advertised G loading is +- 4, although I know that I read
 many years ago, that it was +7 -4, so who really knows for sure.

I do believe that I have seen some 4+ G pull ups at some of the gatherings.
Plan on being in Mt. Vernon is September.

Marty said he did a 6 G pull up at the 2003 gathering.
