KR> Back in the air

Just a quick note to let you know that the Black Bird is back in the air and there are no issues to keep her grounded at this time. I still have a little work to do on the cowling, but that is just some stiffening and cosmetic stuff. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org -

After finding a sticky exhaust valve, I completed a top overhaul, (Done by VW Engines Aust) thanks guys, and my 2nd Annual inspection,(203 hours) and test flight late yesterday. While I had the heads off, and found larger carbon depots in the heads, they also supplied new rings. Now all I need

Dan, I saw that you were having to really tug on it to get it engaged. My first thought was that you might want to adjust the bolt that pushes the electrical contacts so it makes contact a bit easier. The starter gear is probably already fully engaged. I also noticed that your starter cable was

Finally got the starter repaired and 211LF back in the air this afternoon for a couple of high speed passes and a couple of "stop and go" landings. For those of you with Continental pull type starters, don't damage the bushing for the plunger on the starter as I did when replacing the "garlock"

YEE HAA !! After 10 weeks of not flying the KR, I finished the annual yesterday and did an hour in the air with two half hour flights. She didn't forget how to fly ! The air was calm, very little wind, and near unlimited visibility. My KR is the swe

N886MJ took to the skies again today. Beautiful morning, no wind, clear skies and 45°. I taxied out and firewalled her. She jumped off the ground as if she had been begging to get back in the air. I was at WOT on takeoff and climbed out at 90 MPH. I was indicating an incredible 1800 FPM climb. I

Today I flew with the new full flow oil filter addition for the first time. No leaks and the oil pressure looked good. 60 lbs. cold at full power, and 15 lbs. hot at idle. I can tighten the adjusting screw and raise or lower it. Also new friction washers on the nose wheel spindle so the shimmy prob

I finished up all the repairs on my engine today including re-working the front baffling on the air intakes. After doing a few minutes of ground test runs, I decided to take to the air. The duration of my flight was just over 40 minutes with two full stop landings. My oil temps were 30 degrees lowe
