Mark, Glad to hear you are okay after the scary #3 crankshaft incident!
Maybe you'll reconsider the Type 4 VW that you were originally going to use in your KR2S..... I also had a broken pushrod this year in my 2180 VW due a faulty end cap shattering in flight. Flying on 3 cylinders can be interesting as well but not as scary as a dead engine. Best Wishes for the holidays and hope to see everyone in the KR community at Oshkosh next year.

If nothing else though, it shows how lots of deadstick landing practice (and prior experience) can pay off . See http://www.n56ml.com/corvair/break3/ for the details. My apologies in advance for the disconcerting content. No condolences required...I'm over it. Again, my apologies to the Corvair Community...
