KR Trainer Hello KR builders, An opportunity to put together a trainer has come
up. I spoke with Mark and he is onboard with this idea. I am willing to buy and
set up a KR2 for training and get an exemption from the FAA so we can legally
train in it. The airplane needs to be totally self sufficient to make this
happen. The airplane would be based near Mobile Alabama. Myself and Jeff Scott
were former Velocity Aircraft transition flight instructors and know how to set
up a proper transition training program. If someone buys a KR it would be
different from someone who had built a KR. All in all though to properly
transition most people takes between 5 and 10 hours. So probably around a
thousand dollars for someone with no MR time. Based on my conversation with
Mark Langford I’m ready to do this if we have the interest. The aircraft needs
to make enough money to repay the debt over time while paying for its own
hangar rent and maintenance.We could also give demo flights in it. Availability
of training would push the value of existing KR’s up and lower insurance rates
so it would benefit the whole community.Can I get a show of hands of those who
would be interested in training, flight reviews etc? Please give your opinion
even if you wouldn’t need this training.Victor TaylorCFII> On May 3, 2021, at

really don't recall. I could send him a text later today and ask, but 4 oz
sounds about right. MMO seems to soften the lead deposits causing them to
slough more easily and lessening lead build up in the engine. Lead build up in
an engine is a constant process where the lead is always building and sloughing
away. I once checked a fresh engine 2 hours after I had overhauled it and was
quite surprised by the amount of lead that had already built on top of the
pistons. > > Leaning helps to avoid excess deposits, but leaded fuel will
always deposit lead on any exposed surface as it burns. TetraEthylLead is used
to not only boost octane, but as a sacrificial metal intended to deposit
between the valve face and valve seat to prevent valve face/seat erosion due to
the valve and seat faces exchanging metals while hot. Newer, hardened seats
and valves no longer require lead to protect them. In the Jabiru engines, it
seems to cause static valve seating issues. But, if you checked the engine
with a boroscope, you wouldn't see any signs of uneven heating or burning of
the exhaust valves, so they are not leaking dynamically as that would cause the
valves to burn and fail, which would be obvious with a boroscope. It's just
something that shows up on a static differential compression test. So, to
assure the mechanic that all is actually OK, the mechanic stakes the valves and
finds the compression readings recover to normal. It's really not an actual
problem with the engine itself. I suspect part of this may come from the
Jabirus having small valves and light valve springs, which is actually a good
thing.> > -Jeff Scott> Arkansas Ozarks> > ------------------------------> >
