Hi all, I just joined this group, and wanted to say hi! I've been flying
for 16 years, started in ultralights, and then went to sport pilot in 2005.
(second one in Mn) Recently I picked up a KR-1 with a MOFOCO VW engine in
it. It's in pretty rough shape, and I will probably part it out. It was a
flying airplane at one time, hour meter shows 480 hrs, although I'm not
sure if that was an original hr meter or not. Didn't get any paperwork
with it. Did a compression test on it today with the engine cold, and it
had 120 lbs on 3 cylinders, and 90 on one. Not sure of the size of the
engine, I determined that it's 69 MM stroke, and the outside of the
cylinders measure 4" in diameter at the bottom of the fins. Had a 52x42
Sterba prop on it. Has an aerocarb on the engine. And it's a tricycle
gear plane with aluminum main landing gear. Anyway hi all and thanks for
having me. Here is a short video of it running. Jim Chuk
