John, I have not tested fully my service altitude but I did climb and maintain 17000 on the way home from Sun N Fun this spring going around clouds and the Washington Adiz. I was still able to climb at over 350 ft/min. So i would say that 17,999 is not out of reason. The one thing that I did note was that the plane needed flying all the time. It held altitude fine but it drifted around and needed directional control, as best I can remember as I did not have O2. I would guess that the vertical stab could use a little extra area if that is where you are planning on flying. I often get to 8500 to13500 and the 2s flies very nicely and cheaply at those altitudes. Joe Horton

What is the sevice ceiling for a Kr-2s with a corvair engine? I have seen many stats concerning the plane and the engine---but not that one. Any info?
