KR> Electrical systems

Leaving off the alternator part of it is all one needs to do in order to preserve the flexibility on ADS-B. A wind turbine and a solar panel should suffice. A magneto ignition requires no power. An odyssey battery can make many many starts between charges. So I think we have a viable option. As

Probably 98% of experimental airplanes have a battery, alternator, and starter for several reasons...it's a lot more convenient, it's a lot more flexible, and it's just plain safer. I had a total of three takeoffs and landings on my plane and was turning climbing out on crosswind when I pulled

After 7 weeks of recuperating from the winter crud, I got in my KR fix this afternoon. Amazingly the KR had not forgotten to fly. Landing on a grass strip is always fun then back to the airport. With only moderate braking after a wheel landing, crossing the numbers at 80MPH, I was able to

If you really believe the government is conspiring that heavily to kill GA, then it's time to get out. I installed a non-2020 compliant ADS-B transceiver in my KR about 6 months ago. The cost was roughly the same as a low end transponder. I find it to be a great addition to have it calling ou

KR> ADS-B and homebuilts

I am an advocate of hand propping. Those batteries are heavy.? Two days ago I saw a guy hand prop his aircraft with the right wheel chocked only. The engine started on the first pull, the engine revved high, the tail came off the ground. As he maneuvered toward the plane to lower the throttle,

KR> ADS-B and homebuilts

Very good responses. Hand propping doesnt scare me and I like the simplicity of a KR1 with no electrics, just a handheld radio. I didnt even think about the alternator/generator being what constituted an electric system in an airplane. I dont mind a starter, battery, and maybe a solar panel or

I don't think the government want to kill GA at all, I think they want to be able to levy fees for any- and everything. That would depend on use of their services. They wouldn't outlaw tobacco, they just expanded their reach and grasp in order to extract money from the industry. On 1/30/2015 10
