Dene,
you should be able to use your CB radio SWR meter for VHF as well. These
things work by coupling a conductor parallel to the RF cable (they are not
connected) and through a diode setup you switch the measurement between
forward power and reflected power. The total amount of power that couple
of us put enormous efforts
into tuning the aircraft engines to exactly where they need to be. So why
stop at the radios? After all, a simple SWR meter sets you back about $25.

interested to learn who is in the area, to get some more ideas what to look
for before I finally get started on mine.
Nice to hear that everybody had a lot of fun at the gathering; now that I
moved half way there I hope that I can make it next year.

did the difference in airspeed also show when you turned 180 degrees? Maybe

Still, pretty neat in terms of going forward. Good work.

Hi Netters,
one thing you guys should be aware off is that in case of a crash a carbon
fiber seat is the last thing I want to be sitting on! While carbon fiber is
pretty strong, it has the nasty habit in case of failuer of crumbling and

Folks,
I just got back from Oshkosh, it's 12:30 in the morning. I was extremely
disappointed to miss the only KR-2 that was there. I was really hoping to
get some input before I finally start on my project.
I know, I will get a hundred responses telling me I should come to the
gathering. I don't

Hope to see as many KR's at Osh' as I can.

as promised earlier I hereby forward something about the BMW R1100, that is
used in Microlights in Europe. A company in England is offering these
complete with gears and everything. The interesting part is a centrifugal
clutch, that allows the prop to freely spin when the engine is off.
Doug,
as far as I can tell from the one that works in my Passat (1.9 liter TDI) it
is way over 100 kg. Also, the torque is "only" 149 ft.lb., although it
develops that torque at 1,900 rpm already, which would make it perfect for a
direct drive engine. The weight is somewhat comparable to a O-320 o

more drag, on the contrary.
