Well I am convinced that you just enjoy taking things apart and putting
them back together again.
Re the EMPI heads, there are EMPI heads and other EMPI heads. Mine are
EMPI, with the larger valves, but
Not everyone needs a training wheel ;)

It was a long trip a year and a little ago. AZ to WI for Oshkosh, then to MI
over the big lake. Then to IN to see Bob G. Mt Vernon for fuel and home.
Well one day later home. I cracked the case on the 2387 VW. That has been
rebuilt and I have a new cowl. All CARBON. I still need to pull

Hey Guys, I've got a little question. I will be glassing the stub wings this
weekend and I was wondering if the area between the stub and the wing template
gets the same amount of foam to fill in the gap or can I put all the gap
filling foam on the wing ? Which is the easier way. I do plan on

Jeeze Dan, just because you have a taildragger. Maybe he wants to be in the
click. You know, us guys who have a real airplane, not a toy.
Roy is going to have my new Vair with the front bearing, at the CC next
month, for a run on the test stand. But, I will have to drive this toy
around for a while longer, till I can get that new engine in her. Can I be
in the click, then?
Hey guys, my toy now has wheel pants, well at least in the

Unfortunately, my camera was destroyed on the first day at the gathering by
some caustic cleaning solution which spilled on it. Therefore, I have no
photos to post on my web site. Sorry

Check with Gary Guess at kego...@yahoo.com. He just purchased a lot of A65
engine parts (cylinders, magnetos, cases, crankshafts, etc) from an A&P's
estate. He might have what you are looking for.

Gunnar,
You can't go wrong with the Great Planes 2180 VW from Steve Bennett.
I have 210 hours on mine since new and still no problems to date that I can
attribute to the engine quality.
One thing to consider is that the KR2S needs 180- 200Lbs up front to balance
properly with the longer tail (
I am convinced that EMPI is the reason that I have junked 2 sets of heads.
The ones that I put on, on this last re-build, are genuine VW. Well, as
genuine as you can get these days. I think the EMPI are OK, on the heads
with the stock size valves, but are not, on the 2180 with the oversize
valves
Ron,
Hundreds of KR's have been completed with virtually no "factory" support
at all. It's one of the reasons KRnet exists. For the most part, WE are
the "factory" support, since we are the closest thing you'll come to a
KR "factory".
Steve is doing a lot towards getting all the fragmented resou
My Great Plains 2180 has 774 hours on the bottom and 484 hours on the top
and has proven very durable, smooth and completely free of hassles. No
