Oh yes he will. Come to the gathering. He gives very good advice and I
incorporated his suggestion into mine.

I won't get into the engine debate other than to say that the Continental won't
cost any more than a Corvair once it's ready to fly. Also, you won't get away
with less Phase 1 test time with a Continental as there is no way you're going
to get a certificated prop on a KR due to the shorter prop

Clay,
I hopefully will be flying behind one soon so I will respectfully disagree with
Mr. Acklam. In my opinion, your engine choice is based on how you intend to
operate the airplane, what it carries, and your physical size.

I think theres at least one other example on the list...
Personally, a water cooled motor isnt the best idea for a plane as small
and light as the KR... Remember: 8lbs/gal of water, plus radiator, overflow
tank, and hoses. On top of an already heavy motor...

I had one, a EA81 (100hp), in a Savannah (STOL) aircraft and was never
happy with it, replaced it with a Rotax 912 and transformed the plane.
It is quite heavy so might be a problem in a KR2?
I have an unfinished KR2 (and 2 flying ones) that still needs an engine

Is anyone flying behind a Subaru engine?
My KR2 is plans built with the retracts.
I am thinking of trading out my VW for one.
Any information including weight of engine and accessories would be great.
Thank you all for the inspiration and information.

The volume of fluid doesn't really matter much. The fluid, for all
intents and purposes, is incompressible. However the diameter of the
line, that makes a huge difference. For a given wall thickness, if
you halve the size of the tubing, you're going to end up tubing that's
several times more re
Yes, small line = less volume of fluid to move. I have heard of several
instances of people moving to the 1/8" line and getting much improved braking.
I too will use 1?8" plastic with my Tracy O'brien brakes.

Joe,
I have Matco brakes and master cylinders. I use 1/8" plastic line that I
got from Matco, for the entire installation. My plane is fast and I have to
brake hard often. This is a replacement installation, so I got lucky. The
old installation used 1/4" line, and I was able to feed the new li
