Only modifications I've made to the fuel system of 211lf have been a fuel flow transducer/totalizer post gascolator and cleaning the finger screens/replacing the one in the carburetor. Works like a charm otherwise. On Fri, Jan 24, 2025, 5:25 PM Larry Flesner via KRnet wrote: > > On 1/24/2025 5:0

Tip tanks! How much fuel do you have in them? Do you have fuel in the wings or just the tips? I always thought they'd look cool on a kr2! On Mon, Nov 4, 2024, 12:39 PM tiekie bernardus via KRnet < krnet@list.krnet.org> wrote: > Hi All. > First attempt to place a picture of my KR2 that i fly almo

How long are your wings phil? 211LF usually won't see more than 2500-2550 until I get past ~150mph with the 60x68 sterba on the front. On Tue, Jun 25, 2024, 12:24 AM Phillip Matheson via KRnet < krnet@list.krnet.org> wrote: > She came up ok. Still can’t get her 0200 over 2500 rpm in a straight li

The sterba 60x68(64?) Prop with the O-200 that 211lf is running after being revarnished with an overhauled engine is about 2500rpm static WOT.

Hi dee, alot of what I've heard and seen was people do wing tanks into a header- and then use the gravity feed from the header to provide a short reserve in case of pump failure. My KR was built without a header tank- so if all pumps fail I'm in for a ride On Sat, May 13, 2023, 7:42 PM dee david v
