The gas expand in the exhaust and you dont want back pressure on a 4 stroke.
The less friction losses there are the better. On racing engines they even
fit draft tubes.

There is no requirement for any inspections except for when it is time to fly.
Some will have an EAA tech look at there progress some don't. If you are
worried about the spar you might want to start over with a fresh kit.

Hello All,
I recently purchase plans for a KR2S but I originally was going to build
a 601xl. I have been converting a Corvair engine and have purchased a
front starter kit some time ago, I'd like to know if it is absolutely
necessary to use a rear starter in the KR2 or will the front starter wo
Hi Larry, thanks for the info!
Yes, I agree if done correctly there won't be any danger of
de-lamination. My main reason for considering it is exactly the point
you are making, protecting the wood from oil and moisture. It was
actually the ingress of moisture over along period, while in storage
Thanks Daniel!
I am torn between the glassed option that should be slightly stronger
and more durable and the non glassed option that should be lighter...
Thanks for the reply :-)
Fly safe,
Rudi
PS, wish I could make it to the KR gathering..

Spar inspection before closure has not been required for many years
now but I'd still take the advise of earlier post and get another set
of trained eyes to inspect them to the point possible. If the spar
is completely closed, you might be able to drill a small diameter
hole in the very end

There is no "hard" requirement for a spar inspection. There was maybe

You will get as many different opinions on this as there are KR
builders. Personally, I'd recommend covering the w
Paul,
I would see if you can find a Tech Counceler that could take a look at the
spars. It would be helpful to know if the spars are fully boxed like the 2s
plans call or only partially closed with the shear web plywood as the KR2 plans
call out. another couple items that would help someone make

Without an engine the KR2 is less than 15 feet long, the wings are about
8 foot each and the width of the plane stub wing to stub wing is just
under 8 feet. You should be able to store it there. I'm using a 20 by 20
building to rebuild mine, its cozy but workable.

Hi KR'ers!
I am in the process of picking up the construction efforts on a KR-2 I
have inherited from my father in-law who has since passed. What I have
established is he bought the plane in its construction phase from a previous
builder.
My question is I have a KR-2 fuselage sitting on R
Some do, some don't. I don't. I think it is a waste of time and energy.
It also gives you something else to "de-laminate" or to otherwise cause you
a problem. My opinion, I have lots of them, and your results will vary.

Hi KR'ers!
I am a second time around KR2 builder, 15 years after the first one I am
at it again!
I have a question about the finishing of the woodwork on the fuselage.
Do most builders glass the outside of the fuselage (wood bits) these
days? I seem to remember just sealing and painting the la
