KR> What are my Corvair engine cowling options?

2008-10-12 Thread GREG FISHER
I am building a widened KR-2S with a planned Corvair 2700. As I pencil out my dimensions I have widened the firewall a tad as well, then thought I better check first to see if that is wise. I think I need to understand my engine cowl options before I commit to a firewall size and shape. I am hop

KR> Corvair - make buy decision

2008-10-12 Thread GREG FISHER
I am building a Corvair engine and I am looking for suggestion as to what conversion parts I should make myself. I have a local machine shop that can do pretty much what ever I need (it just takes $$$). I have spoken with WW and he is backed up for months and months and months. I need to figu

KR> Firewall

2008-10-12 Thread GREG FISHER
I have a friend with a KR2 that wants to know how much he can hang on the firewall without doing any mods. One answer would be to minimize the weight carried by the firewall. If you look at the Falco, another airplane with a wood fuselage, the engine mount attaches at the very edge of fir

KR> Landing Gear

2008-10-12 Thread GREG FISHER
Bobby, The retractable gear has had a bad reputation in the KR over the years. The original design had problems folding up on landing. There have been better ones designed recently and if you really have your heart set on retractable you should research these. You will get alot of different

KR> LSA Question

2008-10-12 Thread GREG FISHER
Bill, The KR may not met this requirement for LSA: Maximum speed in level flight with maximum continuous power (Vh)—138 mph (120 knots) It may be too fast. If yours meets the requirements, the EAA has a Documentation package to convert ultralights to LSA. You could start with that document
