I used the RR cowling and have the 2100 Revmaster. There was a lot of
cutting and fitting but the look is excellant. You need to cut in the air
intake for oil cooler. I dropped the bottom to accept the carb and
installed ram air as well., all this took time. Don't think because it is

I had the same problem Mark, I added a piece of 1" box channel to the top
of each peddle and that works very well. By the waywait till you make
a landing and hang on the brakes for a spell, you'll have 1/2 the braking
power of cool brakes.

Things will cool down once in flight. My exhaust is 2" away and I don't
have any wrap on the pipe,I did have a ceramic coating put on the pipes
though, this reduces temps considerably.

I would think the corvair would shine in the climb. My prop on the
Revmaster is a 54X50 and it spins at 3200 at cruise which gives me 135
mph. Could I really expect a higher cruise w/the corvair, 3200rpm's is
3200 rpm's. Would the extra power allow a higher pitched prop?

I also have the RevFlow. I don't have the same issues you have. I idle at
800 rpm, no leaning is required to 3000 ft.
When the temps drop outside be sure to use carb heat, these things will
ice up, then you bend the spring inside. When that happens the carb
stays at almost full power and yo
The RevFlow doesn't have a float bowl, gas goes in ,atomized,and burned.
Getting the correct setting takes quit a while. What works best
(in my opinion) is set set the mixture for a good idle thats not to rich
or to lean. I pulled plugs often to see how they were burning.
After the idle is set,tie
I've got the Diehl variety landing gear and it works very well,.With the

Hi Jim, I saw you and your bird at Oshkosh last year. I'm wondering what
the KR weighs, you weigh, and how heavy a passenger you've flown with to
date. I weigh in at 230, the S at 646 and I've flown a 130lb person as
well as flight tested w/160lbs of sand bags in the right seat. I can say

I built a trailer from scratch. 8' wide X 16' long, it tilts and has wing
pockets (or slings) so the entire plane fits on the trailer. Just a
single axle.I use it to take the plane to the airport in spring and bring
it home in the fall. Works very well.

I would think long and hard before tackeling that .. Where would u
stretch it? The sides are already curved for it's present length. You
would have to cut through it's main structural members. My
thoughts--good luck!

Yesterday I finally got a chance to fly again in between the rain
and work. I thought I'd mention this for those of U following my dive
brake exploits and post another update.
My cruise speed is rather low considering what some guys are getting, but
at full cruise ( 135 mph ) I can deploy
You could build it into the wing root I guess as posted but most of them
are located at the lowest portion of the fuse bottom. I would think
somewhere under your butt would be the correct location. Good luck and be
prepared for some extra drag.

Just an update: As some of you know I designed and built
a bellyboard over the winter here in Pa. Today was the first flight with
it installed. In a nut shell the cruise speed was unaffected,( some
thought the board would drag somewhat in the retracted position.) however

The speed brake is hinged directly below the aft face of the rear spar
into a hard point on the fuse bottom.. The dimensions are 28" X 10" with
a total of 60 degrees of deflection.
I was hoping for more deflection but the 3 position actuator I designed
only allowed for the 60 deg. I may redo that

I gotta agree,but then 6399U is always in a hanger in the summer and in
my garage in the winter. An ounce of prevention is worth
