The cooling baffles are stock VW Beetle obtained at a VW speed shop ($26.00
a pair). I made a slight mod to the top front to accommodate the routing
ducts I made from foam, fiberglass and epoxy. The foam was just for the
glass lay-up and was ripped out after the epoxy had cured. You must also

Congrats!
I have a copy of a presentation you had given about your cooling system. Are
you still using the same cooling baffles?
Thanks!

"Oil temp 251 degrees F . . ."
If I get to 240? I do something about it . . . nothing kills a VW (or any
engine) like excessive heat. You've got a cracked case in your future if
you keep that up. Hopefully your gauge is reading high - much better
than reading low and not being aware of it.

Big leap forward on the plane being reusable! Just FYI, that's about my
speed with flaps down. I'd learn how to

Guys,
I have to take any opportunities I can with the way the weather has been
around here and the busy schedule of life in general. I have checked
everything that I can think of under the hood for the small vibration I
noticed on the first flight. These include compression check, wiring
checked, p
It's always great to hear new KR's having great flight reports. Flying a
bigger pattern or making an orbit of the airport helps give you more time to
plan your landings. 75 mph does not sound bad. When you get all the
numbers I hope you'll add your KR to the KR info sheet.

Southfield,
Thanks and yes I will add to the info page, but I need to have it
accurate. I don't want to start any performance rumors. I have been
thinking about that 75 mph today and think that I might have been
flirting with trouble. I think that I mentioned in another post that I
have around an 8 to 10 mph e
Joe, I think you should take the prop off and check it for balance.

I am going to flip it 180 deg. when I do that I will bring it back home
and check it again.

What a fantastic report! You should be very proud,
keep the reports coming. It stirs the desire in me to
build.

Today, I flew exactly one hour on my KR. Again the flight was more than
perfect. Outside temp was 44° and no winds with a ceiling of 12,000'. Again, I
had full tanks (10 gallons in each wing). After completion of the flight, I
measured the fuel burn at 5.5 gallons per hour. My maximum altitude d
