Hi all,
Well after 10 hours running (and not getting into the air) my Hirth F30U packed
it in. The crankshaft is &*(%^* stuffed. (sorry for the bad language). A new
crank is worth AU$3000 + dollars plus gaskets, bearings, etc.
There are extenuating circumstances which I won't air here. But
Barry,
1. Is 120hp to much for a standard KR2?
I think so. When Dan Diehl put the 0200 in his KR, he had to put some
aileron tabs on to counteract the torque.
2. Is 85hp to little for a standard KR2?
Absolutely not. That is about 10 more than perfect, in my opinion.
3. What hp is recommended f

Larry,
I think you may be correct. It may be the type 4 that Dan put on it. I was
talking to him about it at the gathering at Rough River just before he took
me on one of the best rides of my life, the first one in a KR.
I know that the KR can handle most anything you throw at it, but, MORE is

Barry,
I purchased a KR-2
Hi All,
Well the decision has been made (I can sleep tonight, though much poorer now).
I'm scrapping the Hirth and replacing it with a 85hp Jabiru engine (the 120hp
engine is expensive and too heavy which would require a major rework)
At the same time I'm replacing the retractable under carriage
Hi Barry,
the sizes on the Jabiru-Sides is for the "normal" airplanes... ;-)
The diameter is limited by the "mach-speed"! Generaly is: if the diameter is
bigger, the result of the prop is better... but if the tipps of the prop is
"cruising" on Mach1 , the prop will be broken! So Jabiru take the d
