I'm getting 38 mpg with an Ellison and a GP2180 at 150-155.  These
numbers are slowly improving as I continue my quest for that "perfect
prop" and do some aerodynamic cleanup long overdue.  Mine is a single
place unlike Mark's so it's apples and oranges but just thought I'd
mention it.

KR> County Tax Question

[laser...@juno.com]

This thread is getting the taxes confused.  Mr. Baca was referring to an
annual 1% County Tax that the County of Los Angeles levies on aircraft,
boats, & other "luxury" or utility vehicles.  Since this is a recurring
fee it is a good investment to get the valuation down to a realistic
level.  The lower the better.  If you can show that the value is less
than 5K they won't bother you anymore if you're lucky.  Some are and some
aren't.  

What Mr. Cooper is talking about is a sales tax or, here in California,
also called a Use Tax which is due upon purchase or upon bringing the
plane, boat or other vehicle into California.  This was 8.75% when I
bought my KR in Nebraska and was billed using FAA registration records. 
I think most states have something similiar.

I have the Diehl nose gear.  Wheel fairing is home-built.  Engine mount, 
from Great Plains Aircraft Supply, ties in with the struts from the nose 
wheel mount.  Engine is a 2180 VW with a Diehl adapter case and 12 o'clock 
starter mount also from GPASC.

KR> NEXT

[Glenn Martin]

OK. Cant let sleeping dogs lie. Tonight I go out to Shadetree Airport to 
make arrangements to finish up my tail wheel training. I already have 7 
hours in a 140, so it shouldn't take that much longer. They have a 
WagAero Sport trainer out there and have offered to help me finish up. 
Nice Grass strip too! After that I will have all I need to get serious 
about my KR (famous last words)

KR> Fuel injection for the Corvair?

[Jose Fuentes]

Well they also rebuild thier motors after every race, so the point?

Not trying to be smart, but it's not a valid compare. Even production planes
and new AC motors have gone the EFI route. This is not new tech anymore,
with other systems coming online it will be outdated in 10-20 yrs and people
will say, oh I remember the day we used Gas to fly our planes and we had
injectors.

KR> KR forum, OSH NOTAM available online

[Mark Langford]

NetHeads,

The KR forum will be at the usual 1PM on Monday in the "GAMA" Pavillion 2 in 
the "Forums Plaza". See the inset in the top left corner of the map at 
http://www.eaaapps.org/images/K09.jpg .  

For those planning on flying into OSH, it makes a lot of sense to order the 
free "NOTAM" (how to successfully fly into and out of OSH during Airventure).  
It's a half-size book that's easy to manage in the cockpit, and they'll deliver 
it to your door for free.

Visit https://secure.eaa.org/airventure/notam_request.html and fill in your 
address to order.  Too easy!

Also, don't forget to get a departure briefing on your way out.

Departure Briefing
All pilots departing on Runway 18/36 before the daily air show should have a 
departure briefing, available on ATIS (128.75), in the EAA AirVenture NOTAM, or 
in the Departure Briefing shack located east of the control tower starting at 7 
a.m., at the tent in South Aircraft Parking (Row 113), or from the roving 
briefer circulation through the South aircraft parking in a vehicle with a 
Departure Briefing sign.

Roy Szarafinski has successfully installed an run FI on his Corvair, but has 
yet the fly the Zenith 701 that it's attached to.  Ray Sedman sells such a 
kit for Corvairs, (see
http://www.american-pi.com/corvair/corvhome.html ), and I'm sure others do 
as well.  I was originally going to use CIS injection from a Mercedes or BMW 
on mine, but size, weight, and the number of components was daunting 
compared to a simple carb installation.

Carburetors do work just fine, and I wouldn't think you're going to get much 
better fuel economy than the 42 mpg at 160 mph that I'm getting now...

KR> Aircraft Tax Question

[Lee Parker]

Jack, I got my letter a couple of months ago.  They wanted a copy of the bill 
of sale where I purchased the kit.  I tried to explain that the airplane was 
not finished.  They wanted me to pay the tax on the value of the plane 
finished.  I made up a figure somewhere close to the amount that I had spent on 
parts and materials, which came to around $8K dollars and figured the tax and 
sent it to them with a copy of the bill of sale.  They got me on my Lancair 
last year.  Thank goodness you only have to pay it once.  I should be flying 
the KR2 shortly.  I have a few little things to finish and call the FAA.  I 
have a friend at the FAA who is an inspector when you get ready.  He says he 
enjoys checking out the experimentals.  Some of the local RV boys use a DAR 
which is ok but, he charges $400.00 .  The FAA does it for free.  We pay their 
salaries so we might as well use them.

I recently got a letter and tax form from the state of Tennessee wanting me to 
pay sales tax on my KR. It ask if I bought it in state or out of state and if 
out of state what sales tax I paid. It also ask if it was a  Kit and where I 
got the kit. I wrote them a letter with some pictures explaining that this was 
a plans built airplane not a kit and that I bought all parts from suppliers and 
paid appropriate tax on each individual part that I bought. They must have 
bought it because I haven't heard anything more from them but then again it is 
a bureaucracy so it may take a year or so to make a decision.

In my negotiations with the County Tax people just south of you I took pictures 
of my airplane in a disassembled state and included some early articles from 
Kitplanes and other magazines which contained the info that the plane has a VW 
engine and can be built for $3000 in materials - you can find all of that 
online.  Include the Popular Mechanix cover story with a picture of Ken Rand 
and his original KR-1.  Put a nice package of this info together for them - 
educate them. They only know RV's and factory builts when it comes to planes so 
you have to inform them of just how inexpensive and special the KR is - made 
out of styrofoam and plywood.   

This is a better route than asking owners what they think their airplanes are 
worth.  We all think our planes are worth at least $25K.

KR> Fuel injection for the Corvair?

[pelle...@verizon.net]

I not going to go through what is possible as far as Electronic Fuel Injection 
is concerned today. That could start a long thread, so I will just ask this 
question. has anyone added EFI to a Corvair engine yet that anyone on the KRnet 
knows about and are they flying it? It seems to me with the popularity of the 
Corvair engine now, this is likely to have been done, or someone could be 
working on it. (If someone would have said it CAN?T be done, then we know 
someone would quietly be doing it anyhow.)
