on it or if it has already been done this way before without any issues.

tail modified to a longer stab by 6" elevator reduced by 4", all controls were
rebalanced after painting. plane was frequently flown to 180Kt on the old

HI, i'm after some info about installing a Rotax 912 ULS 100 hp in my kr2. I am
replacing the Revmaster R2300, I am sick of spending more hours fixing the
engine than flying it. about 150 hrs flight time and 300 hours repair time.what
I need to know is, has any one out there have a 912 ULS in th
Hi all, I Thought I would put my two cents in about the Revmaster R2300 as I
have one of these in my kr2, When I'm not working on it trying to figure out
the bugs, when its running right it is a great engine, after about 18 months of
playing with it I am now getting 140 kts cruise and 1200 fpm c
To "Roger Bulla" everything that you described is exactly what is happening
with mine, I can get it to run smooth at full WOT. on climb and really high
EGT's, (and no its not on the lean side) then reducing the throttle into the
mid range and low end, the mixture control is so far back its almo
In reply to Brian Kraut, my KR has the std Diehl landing gear and plans built
tail wheel assembly on it with an asphalt high speed roller blade wheel (its a
bit small but works ok). Granted when 3 point landing you are semi along for
the ride when you settle on, as there is no visibility over t
I'd like to make a little comment about flying my KR2, Granted I have only
clocked up 5 hrs on it now in the last 3 day since I started flying it myself,
but all the hype i had read about while building it, with being a very
sensitive if not over sensitive plane to fly is absolute rubbish! or I
Thanks for the replies about props, test pilot flew the plane again this
morning and the local plane legend was there again as well and everyone agreed
that the prop needed to be trimmed down and after what a few of the kr netters
had suggested also, I bit the bullet and trimmed 1/2" off each ti
Hi all, does any one have any advise on props, my kr2 has now had its second
test flight on it, The prop is a Tonini gt, its a 56*44 and i am only getting
2800 rpm on climb and 2900 at 140 Kts. (160 mph) Revmaster claims full power is
85 hp. @ 3200 rpm. the climb also appears to be lacking. engi
KR 19-8322 here in Aus. finally flew her first flight today, (and I am still
buzzing) only for one circuit tho as there was a high EGT alarm but bar graphs
were in the green, so it was landed on caution , Test pilot said it flew well
just slightly nose heavy, just a few minor things to fix up no
Thanks guy's for the reply, I had not even considered the thought of flying
several different aircraft before mine but it is a good logical idea and i know
were it is coming from as I have driven a lot of different machines over the
years, from small underground loco's to giant mine face shovels
Thanks for the first flight test plan Mark, I will be seriously studying
that.here is a couple of specs on mine if it helps any one for my first flight
advice and what to expect,I pretty much built mine exactly the same as Troy
Petteway's. Based on photos and his tail specs.It is a standard KR2
Just wondering if any one can give me a comparison of flying a KR to flying a
jabiru or a soneri. at the moment i am doing some time in a jabiru to get the
skills going again after a few years of not flying a 3 axis 'been busy
building' and the jab has a training wheel up front mine doesn't, i h
Hi all,I finally just completed my KR2 on the 1/NOV/2013, 2 years 3 months and

My condolences to Ben's family, I only found out a few days ago, I was hoping
to catch up with him during my leave home from sea this time, so I could get
some time in his before I fly mine for the fist time.
from my previous question regarding aileron pushrods I am searching for solid
steel rivets for the aileron push rods and can't find any, I would prefer to
use the steel rivets, as the rod ends and tube are chrome steel, were I think
with alloy or monel rivets there will be corrosion issues over

Any one else at the point of having to make the aileron horns as i think this
is going to be a real problem getting material to make them, aircraft spruce

for making them that they would like to get rid of?
I have a question regarding serial numbers as I am about to start a request for

Hi Guys.This is not really a kr question. But my partner and I have decided to

Hi all, I have a question, I tried looking up in the archives to try and work
out what would be a recommended size for a prop to suite the revmaster R2300

diameter for VW engines and I think I remember reading some

spars for the KR2.with the stab foamed up between the spars and the tip
