Hello all, I recently acquired a 1993 KR2 that has never flown. I received it with minor cosmetic damage and just a few things missing. (WAF bolts and tail wheel). It has an 1835 VW engine that sports a POSA carb. I know, not the best in the world. The POSA has to go, but the VW has all of 7 hours on it. It is a beautiful bird and I am determined to fly her.
My question is on the tail wheel. I don't know much about tail draggers, but am learning more every day thanks to all of you. How high can I raise the tail? I want to add flaps, but I have the retractable gear, which leaves very little room for flaps or a belly board. >From past posts, I expect a few to say right away to ditch the retracts. I want to keep her close to the ground so I will make the retracts permanent. (probably my own design). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Again, thank you all for KRNET, it is invaluable.
