Mike,
I don't think leaving the wood to sit to soak up moisture is going
to proceed very quickly. I've heard something like 6-12 months per inch of
thickness of the wood to get a consistent moisture level?

Let's see, at KGSH our T-hangars with sliding doors that we have to push
open by hand went up to $88 per month this summer. But we have three planes
(a KR2, a Minimax, and an Airbourne trike) all shoved into one hangar, so on
the KR2 our share is $29 per month. But there are five of us partners i

Congratulations! I'll pass on to you the best advice I got when I

me.

I'm the lead builder and most active pilot in a club of five rebuilding
N26LT, and I'm wondering if anyone planning to fly a KR-2 to the gathering
will be passing anywhere near northern Indiana /southern Michigan with an
empty right seat (or willing to detour . . .)? I'm writing directly to the

Our 1835 VW had some long hoses to the oil cooler mounted under the engine,
behind the carb. Putting on the Diehl nose gear meant moving the oil
cooler. Looks to me like it would go on top, where it was meant to,
horizontally. Might need some air ducting, and waste (heated) air outlet.
Pros and
Can anyone direct me to photos for a two throttle-control system? I'm
interested in how people have linked the two knobs to one carb throttle.
We're trying to make KR-2 N26LT (single stick) a bit easier to fly from the
right seat, a throttle lever on each outside would be sweet.

Thanks to all for some helpful advice on dual throttle controls, KR list is
great. We moved N26LT from the shop to the hangar this week, it's on its
new legs (but without engine weight, it is sitting on the tail skid and the
new nosewheel is a foot in the air).
Moving along now from gear re-fit
I would really appreciate hearing a user product review from anyone on this
list with experience flying with any of these carbs on a VW engine. (For
the Tillotson, which Bob Hoover recommends, I haven't found a source, I'd be
glad for any leads.) Contact me directly at

Jim & friends,
I am coming along well on getting N26LT back to flying. This is a
plane that was built by E. Levoyd Troyer in Middlebury, Indiana, completed
1984, flown 300 hrs until 1990, and parked since then. We (five co-owners)
have the engine almost ready to go, changed to Diehl noseg
We're still planning to change N26LT from retracts to tri-gear this winter
-- oops, where did "winter" go? This week I'll order the Diehl maingear,
does anyone have nosegear they don't plan to use, or should I order that,
too?

Joe,
Can you (or others) give me the pros and cons of aluminum gear legs
vs. the Diehl scotchply composite? I'm about a week away from ordering the
Diehl kit for converting from original retracts to fixed trigear. Simple,
tested . . . Are there other options I should consider?

Our KR-2 has stall speed listed as 45mph in the log of the test hours, we
plan to fly it as an LSA when we have replaced the retractable gear with
fixed. Rich Meyer N26LT

Any advice about whether to keep the LORAN now hanging under the panel where
my knees need to go? I think we'll be re-doing the panel this winter. We
have no VOR in the panel, since we'll clip a handheld GPS to the panel, will
we ever use the LORAN?

As new owners of KR2 N26LT, (HAPI 1835) we're looking for a POH. I've
printed out the thorough KR2S (Revmaster 2100) POH by Rob Schmitt and if
necessary I can begin making revisions, but I just wondered if someone who
has done a similar job for a KR2 would be willing to send it?
Thanks,

Anyone with brackets, struts, wheels or brakes they are not going to
use? We will be stripping the retractable of our plane, just checking here
before paying new price.

A year and a half ago you posted about converting your project from
a "non-modified" (really? Is there such a thing?) "KR2 on retractable gear"
to tri-gear.

A 100 watt landing light in a 13.5 volt system pulls a current of 7.4
amps and could use a 7.5 amp fuse or CB if you don't consider wire
length.

I would never try to protect a circuit with a fuse or breaker
to run all the time, or are you going to switch it? Do
you have any other power run to behind your seat that you can tap,
instead of coming all the way to the panel?
