KR> Progress
More work on my friends wings today. More glass patches and body fill. I will start early in the AM tomorrow. Found out my day will be cut short to move daughter back home. But I will get up early and do the sanding that needs to be done. Paint will be on this week. Something everyday Period Lee Van Dyke

KR> Urgent- Need another Engine mount
I have a spare mount but I have found it is NOT as wide across the fire wall mounts as the damaged mount. This is a KR2 mount not sure is it is Harpi or what I need a mount with fire wall brackets with the 4 x AN3 bolts per mount (16 bolts) and 16 inches ( centre to centre) wide and 13 1/2 inches deep. (Some mounts are only 13inches wide) The engine is 8 1/4 inched off the fire wall. The engine bolts holes are 9 3/4 inches wide x 10 3/4 deep. Both are the same except the width of the mount brackets Phil Matheson

KR> RE: CorvAircraft> Corvair powered KR Progress
Yes, I have a WW KR2S cowling and almost have it fitted for my KR. The top is installed and am now installing the pins along the seam. I will have a little glass work to do, but that should not be too bad, but. I might have to sing the sanding song again. I don't know what the RPM is, because I did not want to run it very long and cause it to over heat. I will check that out as soon as I can get the cowling on it, secure enough to do a full RPM run-up. Mark Jones flew his for a while with the EFS-2 and said that he got around 28 or 29... I think. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2011 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il - MVN There is a time for building and it never seems to end. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC -Original Message- So it runs fine? What kind of RPM will it turn with that EFS-2 carb on it? You're going to need a cowling if you're going to fly it to Barnwell.

I have a set of diehl springs and brackets in my lockup, not sure what ups will be from uk. If interested contact me Pete -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

What kind of RPM will it turn with that EFS-2 carb on it? You're going to need a cowling if you're going to fly it to Barnwell. I hope you have one on order! I talked to Steve Glover last night and he said he had something like 15 different cowlings (not sure if he meant molds, or "in stock"). I'll bet there's plenty of room under an O-200 cowling. You've probably researched all that stuff though... Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com website at http://www.N56ML.com

Yes, I did tell Mark that I was "POSITIVE" of the polarity of the coils. Thus why I did not trust myself to build an engine. I have gone back and tested the coil joiner with the Ohm meter and checking polarity both ways on both terminals, I show an open circuit. Is that an indication that it is bad, or does it require a certain voltage before the circuit will be complete? I am currently running on the points only because I am sure the Crane unit has been blown. Can this unit be replaced, or does it have to be sent back to William for repair? If it has to be sent back, I hope William will be willing to fix it at CC in Barnwell. So, maybe it was not the polarity on the coil, but the Capacitor. Anyway, it is running and I now have a renewed energy to getting this finished in time for Barnwell. Thanks to Mark for the divine intervention, I really appreciate it. Today, I took off the EFS-3A and shipped it back to Ellison. I put on one of my old EFS-2 and the engine runs as you would expect it to run. I don't have a cowling of any kind, so am limited to very short runs for testing purposes only. The Ellison will be back in time for Barnwell.

However, today, I must have gotten some divine intervention. I could not stop the thought in my head that I should check the polarity on the coils, even though I knew which side was which.<< Dan, you're giving me too much credit regarding "putting a lot of time into it"...I was only there for two hours. I had to leave early due to a line of thunderstorms that was about to force me to spend the night at your house. In those two hours, I properly set the timing (statically), and quickly declared the electronic ignition dead. I then ascertained that the spark was intermittent, and suspected the condensor because it was obviously arcing internally while testing (I could hear it from three feet away). I bypassed the coil joiner just in case (your phone message said it was bad, but I'm not sure that it is...doesn't jive with testing, and is comprised of two big diodes that are "polarity sensitive"). Given that we didn't have time to get a new condensor, and I didn't bring one with me (I meant to), I had to leave before the condensor was swapped out. But since you swapped out the condensor AND the reversed polarity on the coil (which you assured me was correct) at the same time, I didn't pursue it, knowing that reversing polarity on the coil may slightly affect the high RPM performance and the overall life of the plugs, but will work fine under all but extreme use. If the coils were wired in reverse, that explains the fried electronic Crane module. One nanosecond of reversed connection will fry it. For those who are wondering, the red stripe goes to the positive side of the coil, the yellow striped one goes to the negative. What I'm trying to say is that your "divine intervention" may have flown in with "N56ML" on the tail! See the top of http://www.n56ml.com/sunsets/ for a view of the weather on the way out of KCUB...
