KR> Fuel leaks

Sid You can buy a replacement high speed needle mixture assembly from a Great Planes. I just ordered and received my second replacement one . They always start to leak after 100 hours or so . Probably due to the mixture adjust linkage hanging from mine. Just specify which Zenith carb you have (i.

We recently discussed sharing photos. Here is a photo to inspire everyone who is still building or contemplating building at this point. All those already fly know what it's all about. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8669.JPG It makes a great screen saver. :-) Larry Flesne

No worries mate. It is up and running, check it out. However, I think Steve quit selling the rear drive a long time ago. I don't think Revmaster sells one either, but you could check. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics 2015 KR Gathering - M

Ok now i'm bummed out. Ive been building my KR with the Great Plains flywheel drive engine in mind. Then a couple weeks ago i noticed thier web site didnt say anything about the flywheel drive engine anymore. There wan no downloadable catalog either. Then this morning i see a post in the AirVW li

Steve has retired. After A few decades of supporting crazy people they've had enough. Marty Roberts of KR fame has bought the company and is ramping up operations. I spoke with him today and he said he will be producing the rear drive system for anyone who is interested. The original Great Pla

Just looking at what would be a good but inexpensive engine. I have a fellow that if looking to sell a Hirth 30 with a cooling fan and all the needed items to put it on the FW. It has 183 hours on it. He lost his medical and says that his age he is done flying. i have a KR 1 with the RAF48 wing

Bruce King has a rear drive GPASC engine on his most recent BK1 so I thought that engine was more or less current. It doesn't show up on the GP website now. Chris On 1/29/2015 5:04 PM, Dan Heath via KRnet wrote: > No worries mate. It is up and running, check it out. However, I think > Steve q

Answered some of my own question with this article on the original (which I had seen before, and forgot about). 1200cc, 310lb empty weight, 50x38 prop, 130 cruise, 650FPM climb. The article states that 'almost half the empty weight' is engine. That's a light VW then! The original specs (except t

This is a great start, if you really want to know how it works and some of the advantages of this kind of system over some of the others. There is NO bull on this site. If you have any questions about anything you read or see, I will be glad to assist, having used this Carbeuretor for over 25

That manufacturers "best foot forward" info may help, but doesnt get into why a builder would use this fuel delivery, and if there have been any problems or drawbacks. But yes the site is good as part of the info. > To: krnet at list.krnet.org > Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 10:40:57 -0800 > Subject: K

KR> Original KR1 tech specs etc?

I was looking at the carb discussion etc, and wondering what engine Ken Rand had on the original KR1 and then the first few upgrades. I *thought* I read somewhere that he started with the smallest 1100 cc bug engine. I also found a mid 70s flight test of I think his KR1 with a 1700cc engine. Als

KR> Fuel injection - megasquirt

Rotax has clearly decided EFI is the way to go. But have you seen the complexity of their implementation on the 912iS? Running an EFI like Megasquirt or SDS in an aircraft can and has been done, but it introduces a lot of new failure modes that you need to understand and make a conscious choice w

All of my four bell cranks/ levers are a 1:1 ratio. ?Changing one to 1:1.5 or whatever ?would decrease the force on that pushrods with the increase in travel of the stick. ? I used Mark's concept to designed my own system. ?If you look at his dual stick design. You'll noticed he has adjustment h
