Re: KR> Calling all Revmaster Owners. Exhaust Valve or Carb?

Hello San I used a 54/54 prop on my 2100 turbo sucessfuly but had to lower the compression by putting spacers under the cylinders to run it. I suspect you are getting some detonation. You are placing increased load on the engine with the increased prop pitch. If your fuel mixture was perfect for th

Re: KR> Airfoil vs brakes

Hi Mark. I have no first hand knowledge of a higher higher stall speed with the newer airfoils and just repeted what was stated in one of the recent posts on that subject. I also just checked the info on my KR-2 plans which calls the stall at 42 mph, and 52 mph for the KR-2S. I was never able to c

KR> Airfoil vs brakes

I've been following the airfoil thread and would like to add one thing. Almost every modification you make to the original design will have an up-stream or down-stream effect. Decisions on which airfoil you plan to use will likely effect the type landing gear you will be happy with. I chose the ret

Re: KR> Prompt response!

Hi Gary R/R used a common go-kart mechanical brake. The first problem i found with that brake was chatter. It was caused by out of round and / or off center drums. When i assembled the wheels and drums and ground the drums. on center, the brakes worked much better. The second problem is they are

Hi Garry I am also a new old member, with a Happy accessory case. My flying buddy and I both used geared Suberu starters for many years . I think there was some mods required. I will look over my documentation for the required mods. On Mon, Sep 24, 2018, 3:40 AM Gary Sack via KRnet wrote: > Hi a

Re: KR> Insrance

That is correct. As I said it only insures the plane while it is on the ground. If you have a serious accident and survive, the plane is a write-off. If you don't survive, you don't have to repair it. As you can see i'm not an insurance advocate. On Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 2:47 PM Jeff Scott via K

Re: KR> Insrance

It has been a few years, but I was able to satisfy the airport manager with just hull insurance. It covered the aircraft while on the ground and in the hanger. You might ask about it. It was a LOT cheaper. On Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 12:00 PM mark jones via KRnet wrote: > Should have said I felt di

Re: KR> Split flaps

>From one of the (& all) I found belly boards and flaps have different functions. Flaps increase drag and lift. For flaps you need more ground clearance than the standard retract KR has. The belly board, when placed at the main spar, just increases drag without increasing lift. I picked the belly b

Re: KR> RAF 48 templates

Caution! Before you pay for the print; make sure it is accurate in both X axis & Y axis. Printers are seldom accurate. You should accurately measure the airfoil in both axis. By changing the scale at least one axis can be made to be correct. I would draw the airfoil from the airfoil coordinates

Re: KR> PROVEN KR2 Mods

Hi Dennis I'm 6' 4" tall and have made several long trip in my KR-2 and never got claustrophobia. I extended the fuselage 2" forward of the main spar and I believe it was 9" aft of the rear spar. There were no handling issues at all. On Sat, Mar 4, 2017 at 4:01 PM, dennis lacy via KRnet wrot
