Hi Samuel,
The lightest KR2 ever built weighed 410 lbs. and it was pretty too. That was
with a VW engine, no electrics. I would say that the average KR2 weighs around
600 lbs. Very few end up with a basic KR2.
So unless you are willing to go without electrics - and that means hand
propping it
Wow!
Tx Marc - How I would love more of those!

Hi again all,
I mentioned recently that a South African KR2 was clocked at an average speed
(both ways) of 185mph in a recent air race with a Pioneer 300 aircraft.
The owners website is no longer running. However I found this photo which he

Hi Mark,
Forgot to mention that Rudi Greyling' KR as per the KRNet link recently took
part in a race against a Pioneer 300. Can't remember the distance, but
definitely over 200 miles. His average clocked speed there & back (both ways,
no tail wind influence) was 185mph using a Turbo Type IV VW.
Hi Wayne,
Had a look at your page. Can find no reports on performance using the PSRU.
Would you care to highlight some findings please? Did you gain anything in
going that route?
Kind regards,
Hennie

Hi mark,
Does this mean then that the said magneto is much larger than the standard
distributor?
May I ask another question please? I've read somewhere that Roy Marsh'
stretched KR2 wings joined at the fuselage. I.o.w it was tapered from the
fuselage.
Did he loose much wing area as a result?
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your answer. Yes, I know about the hump. I am willing to accept
that. A PSRU would hide it, but I do not want to consider that option unless
there is a significant benefit in performance, especially during the climb.
Kind regards,
Hennie

Hi again everyone,
Please allow me another question:
Is there a magneto available that can just be installed in the default
distributor flange on a Type IV VW engine?

Hi everyone,
On a KR2, have there been any significant advantages in running a PSRU unit on
a VW engine?
