Mark,
Unless you have serious rabbit foot collection, leave the Corvairs in the
garage!
Nobody can keep surviving crank failures at low altitude .
We all want to keep you around for many years to come!
Cheers

I'm not sure I'd want to make 1000 mile trips in a Cassutt (shoe box)
turning 3000 rpm to achieve the speeds we're talking about her
See Mike Arnold's AR-5 at http://www.ar-5.com/ for a plane that turns
213mph on 65 hp. There are sacrifices, such as range, but it can be
done with careful engineering and construction, no retracts required.
And I do acknowledge that you can't go wrong with a properly rebuilt
Continental or Ly
ing a little more speed and
retracts.

There are some pretty specific "rules" that govern speed from a resulting
change in power. Basically, to achieve approximately 25% increase in top
speed you will have to double the power. To achieve approximately 40%
increase in top speed, manipulating power alone, you will have to triple

Don't get hung up on the 200mph speed. The difference in time on a
500 mile cross country at 180 mph instead of 200 mph is only 15
minutes. How many 500 mile cross country
I am just guessing here but I would think that the only way to realistically
got a 200 cruise would be to go with retractable landing gear.
Anyone confirm/deny this?

There is a Jabiru 2200 that came with my current plane with machine work done
and ready for reassemble after overhaul. 85HP, about 140lb all-up.
Planning to build a KR1 (eventually, gathering and storing info now, about to
order plans), and wondering the pro's cons. Or if anyone even has used a
