Having flown mine with holes and with holes covered up, it has seemed the

I'm installing landing & taxi lights in two of the belly board holes and

Maybe I have drunk too much coffee today, but is there anything to stop one
from running a vacuum line off the exhaust?

I am guessing that having the venturi in that position would also reduce the
possibility of icing as the air from the ou
re: Running a gyro with engine manifold vacuum, you will find that you
aren't going to get enough vacuum to operate a gyro while running at high
throttle settings, which is where I'm almost always running. Venturis

I agree in my case it is only for backup in IFR conditions. But if it was
tapped into the main induction runner the mixture would be adjusted with it
in place, and would compensate for the extra air. There might be a problem

I have seen that done before, but the problem is that it leans the mixture,
so you might want to keep it only for back up.

On my Cherokee there is an alternate vacuum source which consists of a valve
tapped into one of the intake runners. It works well and I wonder if this
would work equally as well as a primary vacuum source on other aircraft.
Just a thought.

I've been struggling to find a way to drive my vacuum pump on my KR2S and just
had the thought. Why not forget the pump and use a Venturi?
Anyone know of a good reason not to use a Venturi?
Anyone know of someone using one on a KR?
Thanks,
Kirk Lacewell

I owned a m20e mooney for almost 10years and 1500 hours it was a great plane to
get from point?A to point B in comfort.
The mooney is heavy on the controls? compared to the kr and things don't happen
as fast as the kr.
The kr2 is more like the Grumman with the 0320 conversion the speed, hand

On occasion, the subject of cockpit width comes up. I was surfing around a
little today and stumbled across the data that Ron Wanttaja used in the
Kitplanes article that I've referred to before, which shows the KR2 has the
least amount of hip room and shoulder room of any of the 50 a
Keep it up Kurt. It is well worth the hard yards.
You will LOVE it, when it's done. But if you have had enough, just walk away
for a few days, do not give up and sell it like many others have in the
past.
Nothing flys like a KR2 ( s), Yes I have flown an S as well.
