KR> Hand propping volkswagen

[jibby212 at aol.com]

I obtained a Kr1 project that flew once but was underpowered with a 1600cc 
Volkswagen engine, carb seemed a little small too.  I am planning on going with 
an 1835 and would like to keep it light with no starter but I have heard some 
talk about the volkswagen and short prop being pretty risky.  Sure there is 
always risk but are they more so?  My KR1 is also longer than standard at 15'  
6" , is this a common mod?
