My 0-200 is tired with 2200+ hours SMOH and is stock the way it was
removed from a C-150.  Right now the prop lets it peak out on rpm
at 2800 and I'm comfortable with that for now.  I hope to get hundreds
more hours from the engine before tear down so I don't want to push it
too hard.  I know the 0-200 will rev much higher but I figure there are
only so many revolutions left in this one and I don't want to use them
up any faster than necessary.

KR> longer wings.....

[Brian Kraut]

Larry, I still think you have too much prop on your plane.  When I had my 
Sterba on the O-200 cut down and pitched a little less on the M-1 my climb rate 
went from about 900 FPM to about 1,300 and cruies speed increased about 8 MPH.  
I would expect you to get very similar results on the KR.  You should be 
turning up that O-200 at at least 3,100 to 3,200 RPM in cruise.

KR> First engine run up

[John Gotschall]

Today N611GB ran her new motor for the first time,
a short video online at:

 http://www.mykr2.com/

I left the carb mixture at cutoff, and ran it from the primer first just
to see how it would go, then opened up the fuel mixture and ran it.

Runs good, a few bugs to work out..

YeeHaw!

That giant glue gun is just a T-88 Universal Cartridge from AS in a 
caulk gun.  I tried them just the once for bonding the plywood skins 
onto the fuselage frame.  Convenient, yes, but in my opinion over-priced 
and wasteful if you don't use the whole tube at a whack.

KR> KR-2 Wanted

[Solly Melyon]

Hello Chuck,This is a custom built KR2.  In reality a KR2 is only a single 
pilot airplane.  To fly it with two people in it you have to modify and build 
the cabin wider ( Standard Kr is only 34")  and for a decent room you need to 
modify the Turtle deck as well.   wrote:

KR> Corvair College

[joe.kr2s.buil...@juno.com]

Hey Guys,
I just got home from CC #12. I was able to get there in m hay ghetto cruiser 
after a grueling 5 hr flight straight into the sun all afternoon Friday and a 
couple stops because I wasn't sure which I was going to run out of first (Sun 
light or fuel). Ed Fisher lives on a beautiful private park and he and his wife 
were incredible hosts. His life story could fill a full camp fire evening 
easily.
Saturday a problem was discovered with the fifth bearing that I installed about 
5 weeks ago and all day Saturday was spent installing an entirely new set up 
and I'll have 25 to 30 hours on this one in 4 or 5 weeks again.
I met many new friends this week end and several old ones that the relationship 
grew. All you guys that I met and shook hands  with remember your number cause 
I can not remember your names. 
The trip home with a brand new major part on the engine was just a little up on 
the anxiety scale that usually does not bother me. I wind at 9500 feet was a 
very good tail wind but something funny was going on with buffeting. I circled 
down through a cloud hole at Danville Va. cause I thought I was loosing my 
prop. When I got below the clouds it all got smooth again so I continued on 
from airport to airport just in case.  Around Skyline Drive I climbed back up 
to 9500 and flew for about 150 miles there again and the same buffeting was 
happening although I stuck it out longer and found it was not continuous so i 
think it was something in the air.  4 hrs and 10 min to home including a 20 min 
fuel stop. The new fifth bearing seems to be OK so far.
I just can't go without saying what a great group of men were there  this week 
end. The level of experience and the expertise in all kinds of fields of 
industry is incredible and the common thread that I noticed was that the group 
as a whole were all achievers and can do attitudes that i am certain got them 
along well in their lives. I met John Kerneey for the first time and another 
stand out was Anthony who proudly serves America, I think is rank is Captain 
Purple. There were several other stand outs but me and names don't get along 
well. Just thank you all for sharing your lives with me for the weekend I will 
always cherish it.
Joe Horton,
Coopersburg, Pa.

Nor am I.  I do know that T-88 has an applicator gun available which mixes
the two parts during application.  Perhaps it is something of that sort..
I'd be interested to know what it is too though.

KR> Corvair College

[Dan Heath]

Well, I just got back from Corvair College.  I met some really good people
and learned a little.  Mark L. and Joe H. were there along with Dan Weisman
( don't know if I got that right ), who made one of the Fifth Bearings and
flew in with his Vair powered Sonex.  I spent Friday night, all day Saturday
 and this morning at the event. Today's trip was the longest, because I flew
the KR in, from Columbia Downtown.  I only live 5 minutes away, so went by
truck, both other days.

I have to say, that there is no better group of people, other than maybe the
KR group, that you will ever meet.

As the morning was coming to an end today, something strange happened.  I
bought a Corvair Core and manual.  Don't know if I will ever finish it, but
I surely will get a good start on it over the winter.  The best thing about
this one is, it was inspected by more than one expert in the field,
including WW.

Next to the KR Gathering, this was the best week end that I can remember. 
Thanks to all the Vair people, WW and his wife, and Ed Fisher for a terrific
time. 

See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics 
See you at the 2008 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Ill
There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying
has begun.

The reason I asked is that I'm not familiar with an acceptable aircraft
adhesive that comes in that type of applicator.  I'd hate to see that
much effort, expense, and craftsmanship go in to a project that would
no be airworthy because of unacceptable adhesive.

Thanks for the reply Larry, that confirmed my idea.  The glue gun and
related fuselage belong to Cedric though.  I'm still on paper :)

Yes, but without looking at the plans I don't recall if the doubler
runs one or two bays back of the rear spar. Someone will know.

In one of you photos you appear to be holding a GIANT glue gun.
What type of adhesive are you using?  The fuselage looks good.
