Sid, You saw my panel at the KR Gathering 2013. Trust me, it really does that. I have had a lot of Dynon products, and they all do that. But so do many of the others, like Grand Rapids, Garmin. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics Peoples C

KR> min hp

Bob It should work well. My first KR was built with a stock 1800cc VW and I wager that the actual horsepower of that really was in the 45HP range. Some of the early Volksplanes were operating on 35-45 HP. The Hirth is likely 40 lbs lighter (guess). You could/should move the engine out further f

Hi Paul, I have my engine off of my plane right now, updating the engine with new through bolts, and a hydraulic lifter to mechanical lifter kit. ?I am guessing that I won't have it back together for several months yet. I have had parts ordered from Austrailia, but still waiting for them to mak

Sorry about that last "transmission", group. ?I didn't realize that Paul had replied to my private e-mail on the KRNET when I replied. Since I'm emailing the group, I will mention that I still have my KR2 project (not "S" or stetched) project available if anyone is interested in such a project.

KR> Ram air fuel venting

Has anyone used RAM air to vent thier tanks? Funny how things pop up.? I asked the question here a few days ago about having two fuel pickups and then came upon this article.? It addresses an issue with RH tanks in the PA22's but I think it has relevance to our KR's.? I actually had an elaborat

CraigAll 3 of my tanks are ram air vnted. The header tank has a vent out the side of the fusealage and the wing tanks are out the bottoms of the wings with flared ends a piece of screen and then faired inn under the wing. The header vent is just out the side and faced foward and flared. no prot

KR> Ram air fuel venting

The issue with the PA-22 right tank fuel system was too many up and down routings of the fuel line from the right tank. ?The fuel came down the right side of the plane, then back up behind the instrument panel, then down to the fuel selector on the left kick panel, then back up again to the feed

KR> Ram air fuel venting

I think that most KRs have ram air fuel vents, but not usually on the cap. Mine had them on all three tanks. My main tank and both wing tanks had 1/4" aluminum tube that went into the bottom of the tank and ran all the way inside the tank to the top. The bottoms of the tubes ran through the fusa

KR> Mixture control on Zenith carb

A few people asked about how I did the mixture control on my Zenith carb a few months ago. Now that someone posted about the great Wayback machine internet archive I can share the pictures of how I did it from my long ago down KR pagy on my website. Here they are: http://web.archive.org/web/200

KR> Electronic displays in the sunlight

I may have posted this before, so bear with me. My Dynon D10A display does definitely wash out in direct sunlight. The later generation Dynon units do have brighter displays and are purported to be readable in direct sunlight. Dynon has no upgrade to increase the maximum brightness more than i

KR> Electronic displays in the sunlight

Sid, I had both a D10 and a D10-A and never had a problem with seeing either in bright sun. Is anybody else having Sid's problem with the D10 series? See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics? Peoples Choice at 2013 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il ? MVN Best KR at 2013 - KR G

KR> Ram air fuel venting

Yes, on my header tank when I had one, and on both wing tanks. I did the wing tanks just like all the RV guys do, so, I believe that most RVs are vented that way as well. Check them out if you have any at your local airport. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics? Peoples Ch
