Sorry William but I sold the engine and the prop before to leave France
and have no info about it.
I will read all the papers I had from the initial builder. If I find
something I'll post here.

Jean, what prop are you using. I’m building a kr1 here in the US and
having a hard time finding a 3 blade that will work with the low
ground clearance. I am using a Yamaha RX1 with the C drive detuned to
100hp. Welcome to the group.

Welcome, I am certain with the experience that you already have

be no problem... I tell pople if I can do it anyone can...
Looking at the pictures it seems that you have a project well
along to completion. I recently spoke to a long time builder that
has seen the light and converted to trigear. If the fuselage is
not been built as a stretched length I would seriouly consider
changing to a fixed Trigear configuration for ground handling and
landing safety...
best of luck,
Looing forewoard to seeing progress

Hi all and thank you for your welcome et your encouragement.
Right now, as we have just arrived from Africa, we are living
in a very small apartment while waiting to find a house with a
workshop. My wife really doesn't want an airplane under
construction on her kitchen table (I ask why ;o)). The plane
is currently at a friend's house. First I will have to find
all the documentation that has been in a storage facility for
7 years, then I will translate and study the plans
(translation is a good way to study the plan) and finally
finish the building.
I would like to make some modifications as change the
retractable gear for a fixed one and install a Jabiru 2200,
that I already own, instead of the VWW 1700 which was
dismantled and sold 7 years ago.
I want to register this plane in the French ULM category so
the weight will be a permanent concern or DGAC (french air
authority) will not accept to register.
I already built two planes, a Jodel D112 and a Piel Emeraude
but they were both classical wood and fabric, the traditional
homebuilding in France. I never use foam and fiber, that's
completely new for me.
I think I will need your knowledge and your patience and I
thank you in advance.

engine that has been sold
