The ignition system that can be installed where the VW distributor goes is
a secondary ignition system and cannot be used to start the engine. It
fires two plugs at a time. I have all the parts to the system except the
unit that goes into the distributor position. You can find the system

Tin can, fishing weights, wheel weights, propane stove, torch, it's all

Steve,
The extended wing is the KR2S design. The spars are built with webbing
on the front and back where the KR2 only has it on one side. To extend the
wings you would have to change the spars to KR2S design and basically build
a new wing. I had the same objective as you and am putting KR2S w

The engine alone is worth way more than that. I don't know what a cowl tank

on the existing gear. If you want something that you can do "without much

Tony, the manufacturer is you. The KR-2 is not a kit and does not have kit

certify it. If you claim it meets LSA requirements you can certify it LSA.

builders want performance which will not be LSA. If you look at the
