The prop diameter/pitch can/will control the 3300 so it CAN'T exceed the VNE.. Just because you have more horsepower doesn't mean it can/will exceed the VNE limits of the aircraft it's installed on. Why do you assume the 3300 has more "power" than an 0320?? The 0320 I have (not installed on a KR2) is 160 hp.. I doubt the 3300 can turn out that much HP, but even if it could the PROP is what controls VNE, not horsepower.. Just my .05 worth. Ron

I would expect concerns about moving surface attachments and engine mount bulkhead design. Peter back to your original email, I am uncertain if the extra power will make a kr2s more farm strip usable, as the critical issue imho is landing distance. Most US krs fly off longer strips so it may be useful to contact Willy Wilson who did the Test flights on Ken Aitchinkons kr Pete -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.

Has anyone got any stress data that I can hit him back with?

I am in the process of purchasing a Jabiru 3300 for my KR2s We feel we need the extra grunt of 120hp to get out of some of the tiny farm strips we have in the UK. Is there anyone flying a KR with one out there? -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 7 million users fighting spam.
