No one is dismissing the engine the plane was designed around, merely
pointing out that you can benefit with greater HP a smoother running engine
with similar weight characteristics between the Corvair and VW .A 6
cylinder Corvair can pump out 120HP with conventional carb, a VW needs a

Wow. Dismissing the engine the plane was designed around! Just saying, if
you wanted a1300lb plane to haul you and another large human around the sky
at 200 mph, you should probably be building an RV.
Bottom line is it is your airplane; decide on your mission, find the design
that fits it and you, then build it. Definitely solicit the opinions of
experienced builders/flyers of your type - there are several KR builders/fliers
on this site with a lot of wisdom, but it is still, at the end of th
We're I'm coming from with my comment is that in ?recent years it has been
demonstrated that there is so much unutilized potential of a KR when you put a
smaller horsepower engine on it. ?
I can understand if your tying to make an LSA out of a KR. ? Other then that I
feel that a KR is a some wha

I'll end up building what suits me. I feel it's a high performance
airplane with a VW. Not a V-Witt or a Sonerai, but high-enough
performance. BTW the spread in performance between a Piet and a KR
covers the performance envelopes of a whole lot of airplanes that are
equally worthy of considerat

I have quite a bit of experience with VWs so I'll stick with what I
know. I have no experience with Corvairs because I have no interest in them.

It has been done. Check w/ Steve Bennett, I think he built a
a KR 1 &1/2 from KR 2 plans.You will have a nice wide comfortable
cockpit w/ armrests and all. Prefab parts may not fit, be careful, Virg

if it was me I would build a KR-2S with the the new airfoil. ?Then I would put
a 3.0L Corvair engine in it. ?I would not even consider putting a volkswagen

I am thinking along these lines, not building yet. The airport where I
will base my completed aircraft, whatever it may turn out to be, is at
