My name is Barrett Flowers and I'm the newest newbie to the list. Though I
am now retired, my background is Industrial Maintenance Technology. I've
been looking at a lot of different homebuilt aircraft and have finally
decided on the KR2S, with modifications and the Corvair engine. I&
ards that you have set so far.
Thanks again- (and sorry for being so long winded)

OK- I have not ordered the plans yet, getting ready to next week. Everyone
keeps throwing out names and such...so, WHO DO I get the plans from?
Hmmm.? :)
Thanks,

The plans NVAero sells originate from RR, and are the same plans that RR was
selling in the nineties, I believe. The
Get a good quality die grinder with the different collets, they last much
longer and are more heavy duty. You could build several planes with a decent
one. They are available in either electric or air power.

building a
corvair engine (assuming it doesn't need any major work, which it isn't
supposed to). They say all it needs is the carb and exhaust.

Sooner to be a KR2S builder :)

"O-235-C1C
Power 108 hp (81 kW) at 2600 rpm, dry weight 243 lb (110 kg) Similar to
O-235-C1 except with Slick magnetos."
I've not heard back from the owner yet to my enquiry yet...hope it is still
for sale!

ld one of these, the Corvair is
remaining a distinct possibility though. Decisions-decisions...lol

KR2S to the P-51D Mustang and
there is a GREAT big difference, especially in the wingspan vs overall
fuselage length ratios. In other words, has anyone tried to make a KR into a
P51? >:-)
That's where my thinking is headed. KRP-51? lol

-ringer 1/2 scale
P-51D, and 1/10 the weight.
I sure am glad I have not started mine now, because I know what mine will
look like when it's done. :-)

it can be saved for future reference. Thanks!

After looking at the suggestions, Google's SketchUp fits bill be just fine
and a great tutorial to go along with it.
Great suggestion, thanks guys! :-)
If anyone out there hasn't tried this program and is in the same boat I was,
try it, it works great!
Thanks again,
Barrett
humored on this topic and bring it up for a
discussion? I mean all of our lives depend on this, so it seems it would be
a viable topic?? Oh yeahI am "new" to Corvair engines in aircraft, but I
have a WHOLE LOT of experience in building (high powered supercharged)

2-blade vs. 3-blade prop??

crankshaft they are offering. Apparently I'm not the only one who inquired
about it.

Good Luck to everyone and Clear Skies!

Hey guys, when replying to stuff like this, how about NOT sending out the
web address for it over and over? The more it is sent out, the better chance
of it propagating more. None of us need that.
Thanks!

The gap seals on my Cherokee 180 are just aluminum strips. No big deal, very
simple and work great. Nothing technical about them at all.
