i bought a KR project last month it has the modified single seat verticle and horzonial stabilazer elevator has beem made smaller. the person i bought it from was going to install a 0200 on it. i am going to put a VW based engine on it going to be 2300 cc. the D.A.R who was over seeing the rebuild told me it was going to be a 200mph plane with the 0200 on it.will place some photos on it later

You'll have a much better plane. I wouldn't put a great deal of stock in the 262 mph speed listed for the KR-100. The formula racers using an O-200 were typically turning those engines just a bit over 4000 rpm. It's likely that speed was reached running the engine that way, so I wouldn't count on that kind of speed with any engines normally found on a KR. But you can build yourself a plane that will push 200 mph pretty easily. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
