Congratulations go out to PETE BRAUTIGAM of Wisconsin. He made his first flight
in his Corvair powered KR-2S (N936PB) this morning at 7:15 am. Pete stated the
flight went very well and the plane flew great. He was in the air for about 25
minutes when he seen his oil temps hit 262°F per the EIS. This concerned him so
he decided to terminate the flight. Pete made one practice approach to land,
went around and made the landing. Pete stated the wheel landing was smooth but
the KR did not want to land. Pete said he used all 5000' of runway to get the
KR stopped. Once he was on the taxiway, he realized he forgot to use his flaps.
I bet he stops a lot quicker next time. Pete's Corvair engine was special built
by William Wynne as a clockwise rotation engine. Pete would like to know what
you Corvair guys think about his 262° oil temps? For you KR guys, Pete said he
is definitely flying his KR to the Gathering. Pete is not on the Net, so if you
would like to congratulate him his e-mail is mailto:[email protected]
