I have pulled the prop hub by using a puller and applying some decent
pressure then smacking the end of the puller shaft with a hammer. It has
never caused any damage and the prop hub pops pops right off. I did this a

The belly board on my old KR was 30 x 6 inch. I had the original retract

when deployed. The board was mounted right in front of the rear spar and
would go down just short of 90 degrees. It sure made landings more

I installed the Echo last January. Was an easy installation and easy set up.
I got some red flags in the beginning but solved most of that by installing

I installed the Echo UTA in January and get the report every time I fly just
to check the unit. it is rare that I get a clean report, although it does
happen. Most of my flying occurs in Western Colorado and Eastern Utah,

That might be solution to carburetor sag. I just today replace the rubber

Sorry I didn't get back with you.
The spinner you are looking at in Aircraft Spruce is what I have used in the
past.
California Power systems lists the spinner and says it will be drilled to
fit what ever flange you are using.

Kim and I returned to Grand Junction yesterday. It was a great flight across

It was a great Gathering. Good to see everyone.
Thanks to all who worked to make it happen.

That is good information. I thought the Ellisons were all the same.

I believe this is the one that works for the Ellison. It is the DIAPHRAGM &

I am using a Tillotson carb and I change the diaphragm annually. The engine

know it is time to replace the

Does anyone fly their KR-2 low and slow like a Cessna 140 or Champ, or does
everybody go fast? I'm talking 70-80 mph comfortably.
Congrats. That is a nice looking aircraft. Hope to see you at the Gathering.

I bought that tank at a antique store in Denver. It is a tank for small
outboard motors. I modified the pickup tube to feed in the upright position,
and seatbelts into the seat like it was made for it. It works until I

So sad to hear
Thought I would chime in of the insurance.
I purchase liability only insurance for my VW powered tail wheel Kr for
295.00 per year through Aviation and Marine Insurance Services. I'm not sure
if these rates are good or not, it is just what I came up with. I did have
well over 900 hours of KR t

Glad to see you getting close to your KR back in the air.
I had the same problem on my Zenith on my old KR. I solved it by drilling
out the main fixed jet in the bottom of the float bowl. I just used some
Acetylene torch cleaners to ream the jet out ever so slightly.
That made the mixture
I have also used the zenith for a number of years and found it to be very
reliable and predictable. On my new KR I started with a Revflow, but never
could get it to run consistently. I did have the Tornado device behind the
