As Jeff Scott expressed, Bob was one of the good guys. Bob helped me with the nine Gatherings at Mt. Vernon by hosting the KR Gathering web page. He was always Johnny on the spot in responding to my request to post updates to the site and made all the changes requested. I don't ever recall

Larry, I'm trying my utmost to turn my KR2 into what I want. No, I don't need a bundu basher, she'll be hangared at a proper airfield all of the time. I can afford hangerage else I won't fly. But seeing what these flaps did for the MCR4, I am giving it some serious thought. And it cannot be all

Hello Hennie, You don't have to put that engine in a KR. If that opportunity came my way, I would take advantage of it even if I did not have a use for the engine. There is certain to be an opportunity for some old-fashioned horse trading somewhere along the line... Chris On 5/8/2014 11:42 AM

Doran, I don't know about other aircraft, but I do know that the KR is one slick little bird. It took me a while to accept the fact that it needed some drag for landing. The reason is because when you are set up on final and have the appropriate attitude to maintain the speed you want, you ca

Not to start an argument, but I have to disagree ; ) How a prop works on a particular airplane is based on the amount of air moved (past the cowl, not smashing into it) and the velocity of that air. I have never been able to find a real reference to the ?large diameter prop=better climb? theory no

The longer the prop the better climb performance of the aircraft.The magic of prop science never seems clear.That maybe why we call it EXPERIMENTAL.And yes I do learn a lot from it.Tommy W. On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 12:12 PM, Randall Smith via KRnet < krnet at list.krnet.org> wrote: > Every prop I
