Happy New Year to all the KR'netters! May 2017 be filled with lots of safe KR flights! Unfortunately my New years flight was not in a KR as both my flying KR2's are "down for maintenance", one needs new brakes and the other has an oil leak in the oil cooler. Operating from a 2400' runway that is

Hi Everyone. Yesterday was a great day for me, my KR pride and joy, ZS-VYZ is now back at the flying field after a lengthy refurbish. I still need to do a bit of work on the brakes, need to replace the hydraulic tubes, and she needs a new oil cooler but she will be flying again soon restored to

I have 2 conventional geared KR2's, on both the landing gear is attached to the front of the spar. With the seats empty and the front tank full they are very light on the tail and it is easy to tip them onto the nose especially if the plane is level. Once 1 or both seats are filled and the tail is

With a nose wheel equipped KR it is quite easy to setup safe single person operation with a hand propped VW. I carry a chock with a rope that can reach the cockpit, I can then start the plane, walk around and get into the plane and get comfortable. Once ready I simply "reel in the chock" and I am

Hi Everyone. I own a KR2 with a 2.3l water-cooled VW without electric start. I found that once you have the priming cycle sorted out it really starts easy and it is not dangerous, no more than any other hand propped engine. I agree with the rule "NEVER open the throttle more than a crack" for

Hi Joe, Thanks! The info is a bit old, will be updating it as time allows. Yes I do have an old photo of the tanks, it now looks a bit different with different seats but at least you can kind of see the tanks. They are made from fiberglass, one behind each seat with around 18l capacity each. They
