KRnetters, I've been watching all of the posts about venturis or IFR and I would like to offer a broader perspective to consider. In looking at a single engine IFR airplane there are typically four power sources that operate in addition to the basic engine: 1. the magneto converts rotary moti

Dan Heath asked: "How did you say that you are driving all those gyros"? Well another senior moment, I stated the horizon and dg were 400VAC. In truth, they are 400 cycle 120VAC units powered through an inverter from 12VDC. The turn and bank is powered directly from 12VDC. Regards, Bob Lee __

Jerry, I keep watching Marty Roberts and his 1400 pound KR2 at each gathering and I've decided that ultimate light weight is not as important as the total package for my KR. I must agree with you that there have been many KRs built light that fly very well. The final test will when we get flying
