I took some photos this evening of my wing gap covers.  Years ago (15+) I made covers with fiberglass but didn't like the way they turned out and I wanted to finish building and get on with flying.  I went to the hardware store and bought a roll of roof flashing 6 inches wide and cut it down

I'm looking at the 80kw motor from Freerchobby & an Orion controller Freerchobby make sever motors for about 15kw up to 100 kw. The only problem is you have to feed them, a big battery pack, I hope to use an 80kw motor, have to sort out new wt & balance, from a 150 lb VW to an 30 lb motor , but the

These aircraft perform very well and are very attractive due to their low cost. Exoectatiins should be reslistic as, if built heavy albeit well built along with bells & whistles ir a combination, it'll need a certain amount if thrust to maintain level flight and then an excess of power to eithe

Hi robin, You have me really rethinking my approach. Does the website freerchobby have motors greater than 25 KW. 45 KW seems to be the magic numbers from my calculations to get a KR-2 aloft. and buz around. Any comment Dee On Mon, Oct 11, 2021 at 6:18 PM ŘfRobin Macdonald wrote: > I see so

Okay, Let's jog some memories. I know the engine of choice for a Kr-2 is a VW or any engine greater than 65 Hp. My question is were there any flights made with lower Hp engines? My real question is - what is the absolutely lowest Hp engine that will lift this plane (kr2) off the ground? Authors
