Congratulations again Jaco. It was so nice meeting you on Wednesday and your plane looks great. ....Netters, Jaco took a KR2 S and put it on Steroids. From a distance it looks standard but up close it is a lot bigger than our little babies.
The 2.4 Liter Turbo Charged motor runs like a dream and I think it makes about 110 hp. With the breaks on and the RPM almost at full throttle the plane just wants to jump the chocks and go flying. He is making changes to the duckting around the oil cooler and will be up for the 2nd flight soon. Well done and let the KR fever spread. I noticed that it is contagious there at Wonderboom. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jaco Swanepoel" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 8:34 AM Subject: KR> My Baby Can Fly > Hi Guys, > This morning at 06h20 my baby got her wings.
