Hi there;
This thesis is an attempt to help new KR builders who would rather fly than
build but have to build because they cannot afford to buy a flyable plane or
they just don't want to. They just want to quickly get through the building and
on to the flying. There not interested in

Do you have a flying KR I can come look at? I'm only about a half hour from
you and would like to see it.Let me know...

I had posted a question inside an off-topic email so I guess it got
overlooked...
Does anyone have data regarding operational costs on their KR2s? I know
it is cheap compared to GA aircraft but just "how" cheap?
Also, I have seen some posts about doing rolls and such but is there
anyone doin
It depends on your engine and as someone else pointed, how much work you can
do yourself. If you have a VW and can do the maintenance and inspections,
It is VERY cheap. 4.5 gallons of fuel per hour max, oil change every 50
hours if you have an oil filter, hangar rent and normal everyday stuff. I

Just to share a couple of specs from auto engines:
Engine oil needs to have viscosity matched to temp range, the lower the "W"
number the lower the temp it is designed to handle. 5W30 is the best for really
cold temps AND for all modern small oil port engines. The 5W allows it to still
flow in t

Colin: there have been actual independent scientific studies done on
multi-grade oils and the same was found about all brands, all the hype =
is a
crock. The oil stays at the lowest viscosity marked on the label. (i.e. =
5W30
always acts like 5 weight no matter what temp) It should be noted that =
John to answer your question, in the higher rpm situations the oil pump can
pump under pressure the oil volume from the pan faster than gravity can return
the oil to the pan. Our system and virtually every auto engine made has a
gravity return, unless it is using a dry sump setup, which I will n

With all this good discussion on oil pumps and pressure, please
consider that insuffecient oil pan volume increases oil temps, increased
pressures increase oil temps because they are forced through and don't
spend enough time in the pan to cool. Also consider increased pressure

If it looks like several people replied to the same question, even after it
was answered, it's because the KRet mailing server has been suffering from
some kind of slow down, and it's been catching up in the last few minutes...

the factory data sheet.
Also am interested in high useful loads and what was
done to achieve same.
