anything better to do at 1 am in morning then bad mouth me because I like
the way the aircraft sounds .
you can get with your witch hunt and kick me off so what . it sounds good

Iyou don't have a Kr do you that fly's
what kind of sissy name is that for a screen name . I can till by your
email you harts the size of a pea
and your mouth is big . you name the airport and all clean the taxi way
with your face
What a nice sounding engine its sounds like small Merlin or ranger just not
a corvair .

Hello Bill,
When you say your aircraft was "upgraded" to the fixed tricycle landing
gear, what was it upgraded from? If the aircraft ever had the standard KR-2
retractable landing gear installed, it is not eligible for operation by sport
pilots no matter what it's current configuration
read page four of kitplane it looks like sonex is having problems too .
maybe we can get help from sonex and cry wolf that
the sport pilot is to generate sales for lot of over priced micro lights and
not real aircraft that we build at home without a second

You have probably already decided to install wing tanks since most of the KRs
now built do have them.
I dream of going to the Kr gatherings but IM a realest I cant take that much
time off without a lot of planing and money. IM not willing to give up my

Apology accepted. This was just a warning on the tire going flat. my English
is horrible but IM no dummy and what I posted is a possible problem or as I
see it ( ad ) on the tire.
IM sure that this is happening to other tri gear kr aircraft. Think before
you go bang on someone I fly this

dangerous .

Did you break your engine in with conventional 30 w oil? If not that's the

hi all my egt temps are higher now after warping i guess this is normal but
like to see if others experienced the same. old temps 1200 1250 climb out now
IM see 1300 1350 back to 1200 at cruse 3200 rpms all so it takes longer to come
back down at idle. on the tangible side its as strong as its
30 mph elevators alive. set your trim neutral for take off at 60mph little
presser and its flying relax the back presser look for about 90 in ground
effect
let it climb after about 10 sec start breathing again. you will have no
problem hats off good luck on your test flight

about 1/2 qt every 5 hrs so I think that's reasonable. How much are you guys
loosing? or not what's normal?

Justin have you flew a Kr or a tiger if not don't think you going to do
better then what i wrote i have over 200 hrs in the Kr all so i have flown the
tiger its as close as your going to get to a Kr flame away i fly mine
Mac
Its nothing like the extra the Kr will fly hands off after its trim out in
smooth air. The Kr is high perf aircraft not aerobatic aircraft although some
have spun it loop it rolled it. if you research it the Grumman Yankee and
tiger are just big krs made of metal and all who have flown both
have seen idle at.
