C'mon Virg.
Lighten up!
If a person puts a stock distributor on an engine. it's got all the
"advance" provisions that it was designed with available.
Only magnetos, which have no advance mechanism built into them, fall into the
fixed timing trap.
My engine (a Cont 0-200 derivative) w

You're all right about most of the guys in the tower etc not getting the type

Dear Jeff.
Since this is friday..
Can't really help much on your questions about weight/power, but your
being from Denver makes me think of a KR builder I knew when he lived in
Ohio & had a KR2-S well along. He had a Cont 0-200 (two actually) ready
to go on his. The last I knew of him, he was
Not many of you are old enough to remember a gentleman named Max Conrad
who set many long distance records in the 50's and 60's.
He claimed to have achieved these long distance flights by flying only a
few feet above the sea and staying in ground (sea) effect.
Must have worked OK for him.

Would an engine built out of certified parts, but without a name tag be
considered a home made engine?
That's what my engine will be. I started with an 0-200 crank and a spare
case, milled and bored the case to accept a fuel pump, found a C-90 cam
which has the lobe to drive the fuel pump (has the
Hi netters. Since this is friday, I'll post these for sale.
Several months ago I won a lot of the small Grimes wing tip nav lights
on e-bay. I picked out two for my use and fixed the others up with a

They are complete now and ready to install. Have one red, one green.

I don't know if it's just here in southern Florida (possibly due to
having alot of airboats), but we can get Shell 100W at several different
auto supples and also at Sam's club. About the same price.

The major reason that the Lycoming has one lug larger than the rest is
to index the hub. This is because the timing marks are stamped on the
hub and line up with a punch mark on the starter housing.

For those of you who haven't heard about them yet they have been on

Someone asked how a new harness would attach to a 2000 series Bendix
mag.
As far as I've ever seen, they always come with a new back plate and it
simply attaches to the mag with 4 screws. These screws only get torqued
to 35 inch lbs, so you need a very low scale torque wrench. Over
torqueing can l

Good luck with your painting.
As for camping with your plane at Oshkosh... you can bet that LOT's of

Hi netters. The requirement to have a remote panel switch (as well as a
way of determining that the ELT is on... either via a light or by

This change occurred back in 1995 and was a simple change requir
One thing to check for if you have an older kit. Some of the early Diehl

with any shimmying.
I believe Diehl was offering to replace those early ones with steel ones
for no cost.

Hi Netters. Tried twice to send an amended letter to the net. Sorry.
What I was trying to do was answer Brian Kraut's letter about meeting up
for a Bbq. I told him there is no particular place that I can think of
to hold this. I also told him that the first one to arrive should come

Don't forget if you are building a KR2S, the fuselage is already
streched 14" aft of the cabin.
If you want any more than that, adding 1" to each bay would net you 14
more inches.

I would think that there is a "typo" here. The statement was made that

The word "autogas" may be the right word.
In certified aircraft that are switched over to auto fuel, there is

Hi all. I'll echo Dana's comment about not near enough KR's showing up.
It's the same at Oshkosh. Seems the consensus must be that if a person
doesn't have a trophy winner, they won't bring it to the shows. We want
to see ANY and ALL KR's. Please bring them.
