Wow! ?Your KR Gatherings look like a blast. ?Better attendance than our last one.
On the Rotax 582 vs VW: FWIW, I have flown two otherwise identical Avid Flyers, one with a 2180 VW and the other with a Rotax 582. ?There was no question the Rotax powered one was significantly better in climb and cruise. ?However, as dependable as the 582 is, the failure mode of the engine wasn't something I was willing to risk in the mountainour terrain here, so didn't spend much time in it. The difference in the two engines was significant in a slow plane like the Avid Flyer in that the short prop necessary to get any HP out of the VW was terribly inefficient as compared to the longer prop on the geared Rotax. ?However, in a plane like the KR, while the short prop isn't great for take off and climb performance, it works reasonably well at higher speeds, so the performance contrast isn't quite so stark. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Eduardo Barros > Sent: 02/19/14 01:54 PM > To: samantha toner, KRnet > Subject: Re: KR> rotax > > In argentina fly a Kr 2s with Rotax 582, 65 HP, is Pupato?s KR > > Can you see a video of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKSCRSWfXNw > > And pictures: > > 1?
