Re: KR> KR2s purchase question

I had a similar accident last year with a slow rollover that crushed the turtledeck and broke off the tail. Wings and Spars were fine. The KR is a tough bird...to a point. Craig N886MJ N6423B > On July 3, 2020 at 8:08 AM Mark Langford via KRnet > wrote: > > > David Stacchini wrote: > >

Re: KR> Two questions

I am very interested too but so busy with my annual on the 172 I have had no time to call them. I will find time this week. My plan was to add a tab at the far end of the Aileron and elev that would be 1"x2". It won't take much. The opposite aileron will need some counterweight added in the

KR> Corvair oil port question

I had this figured out at one time but old age and CRS syndrom has struck again. On the side of the case were the oil exits and enters, which port is in and which is out? Engine mounted and ready to plumb some oil lines. Thanks,Craig N886MJ N6423B _

KR> Mass Arrival to OSH 2022

We need to start planning for our arrival to the KR 50th in 2022. Not sure how many planes we could get in the air and it won't be live the Bonanza arrivals but it would be fun to show up with 20 plane at 2 abreast. Just sayin' Craig N886MJ N6423B ___

Re: KR> Anti flutter

I removed the weight on the elevator on DeerSlayer and flew it numerous times up to 135 kts and saw no difference. Cant speak to speeds above that...YET. 150kts here I come. Craig N886MJ N6423B > On April 3, 2020 at 11:00 AM mark jones via KRnet > wrote: > > > Quick question. > I have

Anyone out there? Sure got quite. Must be the nice weather. I owe you guys a VLOG update. Been busy with a new Spam-Can I bought. A 1956 C-172. Not my favorite plane but it was offered at a price I could not refuse. Started the canopy on 886MJ but that has been idle for a week while I do

KR> Canopy Saga continues

So here is what I have found. Todds is now Aerocanopy in Indiantown FL. They have Q1 and Q2 forms but the Q2 rear shape is round where the Dragonfly is more flat on the top and sides. They will build a Dragonfly/KR2S form for $375 and then canopies would cost $675 each. I am willing to go th

I like it. They claim almost 250 lbs of torque on the 4 banger. Kinda spendy but I like the concept. Wonder if there are some real world experiences out there. https://youtu.be/AXddqiuDL2Q?t=230 Craig N886MJ > On January 4, 2020 at 4:09 PM Kayak via KRnet wrote: > > > this is an interes

Recommendations? So I went to Roys and built my 170ci Corvair on Monday. I was going to run SAE30 for the first 10hrs then Rotella after that, but not so sure you really need to do that with a straight bore motor. Craig N886MJ ___ Search the KRnet A
