Whoa there horsey! I merely mentioned IFR at night as to describe my desire
for the planes capability. I will most likely never do this. After all, a
twin comanche that flies daily will still lose an engine after SIX A&P and 3

I sent this question before but believe it bounced. Can you use mo-gas and
100LL interchangeably in a corsair engine without having to change the
carburetor set-up? Say you have a tank of mo-gas in your plane and go on a
x-country trip. Of coarse when you refuel, it will be with 100LL. Can this

Huh?
My vfr flights (not in a kr yet) have almost always come home at night.
So whut's wrong wit dat?
I time it that way so I can go over Seattle at dusk (pretty to look at).
Land a half hour later.

Well, if you are flying a KR in or near thunderstorms, .
See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics
See you at the 2009 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Ill
There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying
has begun.

I was flying a DC-3 on a cargo run from El Paso to Laredo to Monterrey,
Mexico. About half way to Laredo I was between 2 T-Storms and 45 degree left
and
right banks and 45 degree nose up and down. Keeping it in a straight line
wasn't as hard as keeping altitude. Nose down 45 power off and c
There are people out there that would not fly a twin at night. A KR is pretty
sensitive but it can be flown in clouds. An autopilot would really be a help in
one. I put about 125 hrs on mine at night. My wife and I understand the risk
and I probably have about 600 hrs at night total.

I'm not sure I understand the reluctance for night flights. If you have the
instrumentation to show that you are "straight and level", and you are in
normal Night VFR and VMC, why wouldn't you be willing to fly at night. (I'm
still learning, have patience).

I definitely concur with the no IFR or Night Flight, but "Uncontrolled rolls
to 45 degrees"??? I have plenty of hours in a KR to have experienced that,
and some in clouds ( don't tell anyone ), but, I have never experienced this
and don't expect to. I find the KR a very well behaved airplane.

I too had your desires (but turbo normalized single rotor all aluminum
Mazda engine) and I am building one, BUT, the IFR portion this plane is
not - unless you are talking about the rare moments you can have smooth
air in cloud. The CFII's I've known who have owned KR2's were scared the
first a
I too believe that the KR is the plane for me. Though 6'1" tall, I am told the
older versions are out, but I want as close as I can get to turbo [normalizing,
and subject to VW engine capability because economy high alt cruise is the idea
here], RG, IFR, night plane. Before you reply there is
