KR> status of kr super 2

[Dave McCauley]

I've been building for 4 years and am still at it.  Getting closer and
closer.  Mark is partially correct as Scott Watts hasn't posted much about
his final assembly.  I'll have the wing attached to the fuselage shortly and
will begin attaching the controls.  I hope to have my Corvair engine
installed this fall and then its build the cowl and canopy.  We'll see how
it goes!

KR> status of kr super 2

[Chris Prata]

I had never heard of this plane until now. 
So I dialed into the Interwebs and Looked it up on The Googles, and found a 
nice web site about it:
http://krsuper2.com/
If the web site is up then maybe its not extinct?

I've not been a fan of the KR Super 2 since it was first made public, 
mainly because of my concern that builders would be led down a path 
toward construction, and then the leader would either be hit by a truck 
or lose interest, leaving a bunch of unfinished projects with a 
questionable path forward.  It appears as though that may have happened...

There was a super 2  project at Arlington last week in the EAA chapter
tent.  Fuselage and wings.  Chatted with the owner who said he bought it
for $350.

KR> KR1B motorglider criteria question

[jon kimmel]

I can't argue with that...I was just wagging it because wiki says 34 lbs.
Still, a very good looking selection for the purpose.  I think I have
figured why the faa has that criteria.  I think they are combining surface
loading and aspect ratio...both use wing surface...just a guess.of
course...but it would be max gross in that case.

KR> KR1B motorglider criteria question

The KFM engine weighs more than 40#.  That is the bare engine which won't run 
without the complete exhaust system installed..  Only put out 25hp for under 3 
minutes and then dropped off to about 18hp in cruise at 5900 rpm.

 The goal with a self
 launched sailplane is glideslope and low stall
 speed...so high aspect ratio and low weight.?
 The engine we selected back
 in '82 was a
 kfm 107...25 hp at 40 lbs.? You could do a max gross of
 under
 500 lbs with an engine like that.
