Larry Mine fuselage does not flare out at the top. My fuselage sides are vertical and the angle between the inboard stub wings is 90 degrees, same as the RV's.Pete > Date: Thu, 26 May 2016 11:08:44 -0500 > To: krnet at list.krnet.org > Subject: Re: KR> Fuselage to wing fairings? > From: krnet at

Weight to power. I have always had a lot of problems with VW. That does not mean that they are all bad. I know you do not have those issues and neither do a lot of others. If I had a 2200 and was building a KR1, that is exactly what I would put on it. See N64KR at ht

KR> HAPI issues?

yes, in fact, my 2200 is a late solid lifter version which had pretty much all the early issues (such as cooling fin configuration) resolved. ?one update that came later was to add 2 steel dowels between the crank and flywheel. The orignal design did not use dowels or shoulder bolts and relied o

Got in some high speed taxi runs with 4 trips down runway 29 this morning, sun at my back and into a 5 Kts breeze at 260. On the first run my left leg keep bumping the flap switch, resulting in deploy and retracting the flaps. Moved the flap switches about 2 inches higher; still needs work. Se

KR> Fuselage to wing fairings?

Netters I'm confused as to the necessity of large radius' at the wing root. I recently read that Mark Langford noted that Strega does not have large radius fillets. You'd think they would have them as they are trying to squeeze every mph that they can from that airframe. Neither do the RV series

this has me curious. I am about to start building a KR1, have a low time recently overhauled Jabiru 2200, but ws going to be a "purist" and go VW (probably still will do that , maybe a turbo VW new in the box?) u mention a lycoming, a 108hp O-235 weights 240lbs accordng to wikipedia, but a 100hp

KR> Lycombing/continental - Used Engines

As Larry sez... I am not a fan of flying behind an engine until it has been torn down and inspected. I learned the hard way that what's in the logs isn't necessarily the whole story; and in some cases, isn't even related to what's actually in the engine. 25 years ago I had a used engine with
