I knew Al (Alvin) Campbell well when I lived in San Antonio in the late 80’s.
He was from Arkansas and helped a fellow Arkie build my KR-2 which first flew
in 1991. He was buddies with Dan Diehl, and I watched them install the first
Diehl fixed gear on Al’s plane, a turbocharged VW. I then orde
If I recall correctly (from about 1989) I tried to get the engine thrust line
at center of crankshaft to line up with the top longeron. I did not offset the
engine laterally to compensate for p factor like I have read that some planes
do. Too much math for me.

Mike, I have a flying, plans-built KR2 in Mt Home, AR if you come down this
way. I can taxi you around in it but no flight because it doesn't have a seat
belt for passenger.

I am pretty sure that KR-1 belonged to a friend of mine, Eugene (Gene) Darst
from Beaumont, TX. He died in it on the way back from Oshkosh in Aug 1993. NTSB

Cause was listed as elevator cable failure. Rumor had it that he had been

Mark, Steve Bennett machined my V Dub heads back about 1989 or so. The wires
don't traverse the valve covers. No problems whatsoever.

Call Dan Diehl. If I recall, it was a Subaru part.

Me too, Larry. I could see being booted for too many bounced landings, but I
don't even know what a bounced email is! I will wait for Langford to get
online and sort it all out for us.

Well, I was always told that every epoxy has a temperature at which it will
soften, and that was why shades of white were used in order to keep the
temperature below that softening point.

Hi Jeff, a guy named Alvin (Al) Campbell had a sweet little standard KR with a
2180 VW and a turbocharger back in the late 80's. He was an automotive engineer
and probably published his data in the print newsletter ih the 80's. Search
those if there's a way. Or else talk to Dan Diehl, he was A
Should work OK. You can also mix up a slurry of wood chips and T-88 or use
bondoglass.

The FAA can always use the good old "unsafe operation of an airplane" reg to
cover a whole multitude of what they perceive as sins. If they can't gig you
on violating a specific reg, they've always got that one to fall back on.

That's where I fly in to visit my grandsons. They love the lack of fences,
gates, barriers, etc because they can get close to the planes. We'll see how
much time before they put up barriers to keep the kids away just like most
other airports..

I've got a Dakota (PA 28-236) and a KR 2. The Dakota is the station wagon for
hauling people and baggage, and the KR is the sports car for when Daddy just
wants to have some fun all by himself. I spent many hours in a PA 28-180, they
are a great airplane. Keep the KR fire burning, it's a fun

I kept my header tank and one magneto in case I ever have to shut the electric

I'm going on my sometimes faulty memory here, but it seems like Dan used a
geared starter off a Subaru from the late 80's. I wish I knew more
specifics, but maybe somebody else can add details.

Hey, Jeff, here's my little experience with oil temp sensors, I hope I don't
repeat what others may have said. On my 2180 VW the oil temps ran too high
so I relocated the oil cooler and tried different ducts etc, etc until a
little light bulb came on and I began to suspect the sender unit. I w
Rich, I have about 250 hr on my Diehl system, and have had no squawks at
all. I removed the stock KR retracts before the first flight and installed
the Diehl system, so I have no experience with the original retracts to
compare to the fixed system.
