KR> Anyone have a spare KR2 Prop for sale?

Hi Pilots, My 52x44 wooden propeller took a FOD 'lickin' last weekend and lost.. I'll use it on my 1835cc Hapi VW engine powered KR2 N44774. It needs a 4 in dia. bolt circle diameter for 6 each 5/16" UNF bolts. It appears that the old bolt holes are a tad bigger than the 5/16" (maybe a size P

Hi all I am about to start work on my engine mount ( diehl case 2275 vw ) will I need to factor in a thrust offset or not ? Also what length mount are you using ? The plans say 6 1/2 inches but I am thinking with a diehl case and starter it will need to be longer. All thoughts appreciated ?Mark

Good for you wanting to do the "Pilot & Paws thing." I hope you continue with that noble goal whatever you wind up with for an airplane. As Larry said, your KR will need to be set up for single pilot operation. You can devise a "baggage insert" behind your seat that will fit a small dog crate.

That's what the Challenger was for as it is tandem seating, too. Have to look up a Thatcher. On 12/07/2015 01:09 PM, Dj Merrill via KRnet wrote: > On 12/07/2015 01:49 PM, david via KRnet wrote: >> That's not good news. I don't mind sitting in the middle but then I >> couldn't do the Pilots&Pa

That's not good news. I don't mind sitting in the middle but then I couldn't do the Pilots&Paws thing. Losing the weight? I'm more likely to win the lottery. Docs keep pumping me with steroids. And even before that, it was impossible to do. Thanks for the info. David On 12/07/2015 08:2

David, I hope you don't shoot the messenger but a KR is not the airplane to fit the needs you mentioned in your e-mail. Mark Langford's CG chart is for a highly modified KR 2S with a 120 hp Corvair, larger tail surfaces, etc.. At your weight, any KR you get would be a single place, flown se

One reason I am looking at the KR2-S is that my current plane is a Challenger II. I have gained weight (for reasons beyond my control but doesn't everyone say that?) and at 310 lbs sans clothing, I am way beyond the spec for pilot in the CII, which is set at 250 lbs. So it is for sale, too. :) S
