Don't tell the KR I have down stairs what its VNE is. I have been to 235 with a EJ 22 150 hp on my KR. I plan on racing the plane this year. There is an immature group holding races around the country and I am going to try and enter. You race against time. With my planes if you pull inside static it will only give you about 5 mph higher indication. When I have certain people riding I will reach over and pull my standby source and then point out the airspeed. I pull standby source about once a month just to make sure they are working.

Caption for the 9th picture down, you state that you hit 235 MPH. Now I know this is pure BS because at that time your ASI was reading incorrectly due to a disconnected static port tube. Besides that, the Rand-Robinson website clearly states that the maximum speed for a KR-2S is 200 MPH, here: http://www.fly-kr.com/kr2s.htm . If you fly one faster than that, you are endangering your life as well as the lives of others and I think you are having way too much fun flying anyway. I think your next project should be restoring a vintage steamroller like an 8HP 1913 Aveling & Porter from Manchester, England. They travel at a much more sedate pace ;o) Oscar Zuniga Air Camper NX41CC Flying Squirrel N2069Z San Antonio, TX mailto: [email protected] website at http://www.flysquirrel.net _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to [email protected] please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
