THE RAND ROBINSON WEBSITE SUGGESTS TO USE A 2180 VW, LEE ROBBINS (ORMA)HAS BEEN FLYING HIS KR2 FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS WITH A 2 LITRE TYPE 4. LEE CLAIMS PERFORMANCE IS MARGINAL IN CLIMB, AND WILL NOT GIVE RIDES ON A HOT DAY BECAUSE CLIMB PERFORMANCE IS SO POOR. LEE IS NOW BUILDING A TURBOCHARGED 2500 TYPE IV.

THE CURRENT TREND IS TO STRETCH THE FUSELAGE AND USE THE CORVAIR FOR POWER. I HAVEN'T COMMITTED TO THE CORVAIR YET, ALTHOUGH I DO HAVE A CORE. MY BOAT WAS BUILT 3 INCHES WIDER THAN PLANS BY THE ORIGINAL BUILDER WHICH CAUSED ME TO FABRICATE MY OWN TURTLE DECK, FORWARD DECK AND CANOPY.
