KR> Engine compartment temp

I seem to remember Cessna 172s having the battery under the cowl... Works for them... Personally, I'm putting mine up there simply for weight/balance purposes - the more weight forward of the CG, the less likely I end up with a tail-heavy plane. On 1/10/2012 9:30 PM, jeffyor...@yahoo.com wrote

I've been using a wet cell motorcycle battery mounted to the front of the firewall in my KR for 15 years now. I seem to get 6 to 7 years per battery. Photo of battery configuration at . Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM - Original Message - From: Der

KR> Oil cap with remote cooler n filter

Do you need to increase the total amount of oil in a 2180 VW motor if you add a remote oil filter and if you also add a large cap remote oil cooler? I believe my oil cap calls for 3.5 quarts. But I have added about 6 feet oil oil lines to add the remote oil cooler on my firewall plus a remote mo

Re: KR> Engine compartment temp

I have mine mounted on the firewall. You have baffeling that seal the engine area away from the direct heat of the engine. I believe most or many of the KR's out there have their batteries mounted on the firewall. Jeff York KR2 Georgetown Scott county FAA airport of the year 2010 KR Gathering Pe

On my 2276CC VW installation, I had my Oddessy battery mounted near the upper motor mount on the passenger side and never had a problem with it. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics  See you at the 2012 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il – MVN – 40th Anniversary There is a time

Well guys, I got to go out and fly the Cherokee 180 for several hours for the first time today. What can I say, I had a blast! 130-140 knots and flew all over the Salt Lake City valley and down into Utah county (south of SLC). I guess when the newness wears off (if it does), I'll get back on track

KR> Engine compartment temp

Has anyone checked their engine compartment temp? I was planning on mounting my battery to the firewall behind the engine, but the battery says to not heat it past 140 F. I am worried the temp may get to hot to mount it there. I could always insulate the box, but will add more weight. Any id

What a beautiful day here in Wisconsin. Clear blue skies with the temp at 47 degrees. Feels like summer out there. Needless to say I could not pass up this opportunity to fly. So I went to the airport and had a nooner. The winds were right down the runway at 11 mph. I hit a few minor bumps but w
