Not a KR2 but I knew a Europa Classic with EA81 engine with NSU conversion.

Do we all need to read all this abusive name calling again?
Is the KR community actually just full of keyboard warriors enjoying the safety
of being distance away to write things that would get them punched if they said
it to to the recipient's face?
Grow up for goodness sake.

I know the EA81 quite well. I don't think it's an engine I'd seek out to be
honest.

This is the P51 low-altitude bailout I previously mentioned and which Colin
also described.

I'm not sure how robust the weight argument against a parachute is against a
context of many builders having already reconciled a near 50% increase in empty
weight for their K
The only crash I've ever witnessed personally was a mid air collision at low
altitude (Douglas Skyraider vs Mustang). I was fairly convinced I was watching
a fatal accident unfolding, but the unflyable of the two aircraft's pilot
bailed in a steep dive at very low altitude and got a clean chute
That's correct Bill,
A gas turbine producing thrust via a propeller is a turbo prop. A turbo jet
uses a Newtonian reaction from exhaust gases for thrust.

As Mike says.
If you're flying under UK law it needs to be built as per plans which is what
the design has been assessed against, unless it's a KR2S in which case it's as
per plans plus some mandatory modifications which the LAA will send you
drawings of.
It is possible to modify from the pl

I know you're a good guy who works hard. Things do take a longer time may at
first be expected from the outside though which is ok when one knows about it
before hand but can worry a new customer not familiar
Hi,
Sounds like a lot of work to get to the same end result as Diehl skins?

You wouldn't expect crushing. If the wood is crushed, you've over tightened the
bolts.
I'd like to point out that the metrinch is a particularly useless unit of
measurement. Inches and fractions is archiac but manageable. Metric is robust
and intuitive. Inches with decimal places is just asking
Stainless properties are very different to 4130. It is inferior in pretty much
every way that one might be interested for this application, besides corrosion
resistance. Quite worrying really that people who frankly don't know what
they're talking about do this on critical parts.

Sorry Simon,
I know know of Grove gear being fitted to UK KR2s. That's certainly what I
have up here in Aberdeen. By going for the Jabiru instead of the VW lump you'll
save around 50lbs before you even start.
I've never heard of the proper Grove gear bending on landing, but I do know
that
I'm surprised that no US builders consider the Jabiru 2200 engine
Colin Hales in the UK built G-BSTL with a Type 1 VW, canned it in favour of a
Type 4, junked that too and eventually settled on the Jabiru 2200 which weighs
60kg (132lbs) all in with starter etc. It's putting out 85hp and hi

I'm fairly new to this group. Infact, this is my first post using the group

With regards to this and also other posts I've read I'd like to offer a
