>Just a question for the group. It may be premature (since I have a long way to go), but I noticed a Lycoming 0 145 for sale on Ebay. Would that be an acceptable power plant for a KR2S? It is a 65 horsepower and weighs about 165 pounds. Any thoughts? >Ray +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Unless you are going to build a bare bones 500 pound KR you will want more power. A friend of mine had an early T Craft with a 65 Lyc and it ended up cracking the case. He installed a 65 hp Continental and liked it much better. You can get that much HP from a more reliable VW and the parts would be a lot cheaper and easier to find. Larry Flesner
