Could I get some advice on a few things?
I recently removed the nose gear from my project and will be going
conventional. HEY!!
1-I flipped my Diehl main gear around to the front of the spar. Doing
so puts my breaks in front of the wheels. I looked into flipping them
around but will require re-dril
If you swap the wheels, would that not reverse the relative location of the
brakes. However, once you put on your wheel pants, you should not know the
difference. But, I assume the the brake line is now coming down the leading
edge of the gear, which is something else that you have to deal wit

If your disk is wobbling, the nut that holds the wheel must be loose, I'd
guess, or something else fairly obvious.
I had to grind my bolt heads off somewhat to clear the disk.
Be careful about leaving the brake bleeders close to the

Not until you tap the left brake and head off right into the weeds . . .

Hello,
I live in Bandon, Oregon and I am wondering if there are any builders resonably
close to Bandon. I'd like to be bable to see a KR up close and personal.
1. I have read in the archives that some have been able to make the cabin as
wide as 40 inches. Could this be made as wide as 42 or 44

Yes you can, but you will pay a price for every change. Todd can make a
canopy to fit whatever you do and they are very reasonable.

You don't really have to "be bable" to see a KR up close. I'd be happy to
make you that way, but I'm fresh out of eye-of-newt!

Ray,
I built my own turtledeck and used a Todd's Canopy. My boat was widened 3
inches and the Todd Canopy fit perfectly. Todd's also makes them up to 6
inches wider. A friend built and is now just recently flying a Longeze with a
Todd's canopy and we were both very happy with the quality and

You are as tall as me, but about 100Lbs heavier. I manage to fit in a

Just going by your figures, you would be very close to a 1200Lb Gross

Dave,
My KR has as much room in it as a GP-4. My Mustang II was 40 inches.
None of these little airplanes are going to be as roomy as your 172
simply because you sit so close to the floor in them instead of
sitting up on a seat. Bobby

Does that guy have a website? I love the canopy and turtle deck. Is there
anymore information on what modifications he made? How much he stretched
it, widened it? It looked a bit taller as well.

I concur with your comments completely even though I wish to move the fuel
to wings except for a small header tank so as to remove most of the fuel
from the cabin area.

I'm surprised that no US builders consider the Jabiru 2200 engine
Colin Hales in the UK built G-BSTL with a Type 1 VW, canned it in favour of a

If I had the money, that is exactly what would be on my plane, or maybe the
3300. It is just too expensive. I am sure that it is worth every penny, but
when there are VW and Corvair available for 1/4th the price, it is hard for
most builders to justify.

Can't deny that point!
Having to save up for it myself infactnot going too well right now but
I've got plenty other work to be getting on with - got no wings yet!!!
I don't really see myself as having much option here in the UK though as the
