KR> Engine RPM Guage

[Robert7721]

Joe,

I tried a "tiny tach" and could never get it to work with my magneto set up. It 
really did not want to pick up the signal though the shielded wires. If you 
peal back the shielding you might have a chance if that is your set up. I ended 
up putting on a Westach gage which worked fine.

KR> N339RJ owner

[Adam]

I am the newest owner of KR2 N339RJ. 
It is almost ready to fly. It needs some repairs to wing stubs, tail wheel, 
Gull wing style canopy needs replaced. 
It has oleo struts/retracts and could use a facelift in the interior. 
I am unable to keep it running without holding the key in the start position. 
I am blaming the POSA carb. Yes I'll replace asap cause I don't want to bother 
with it. Not to mention it's not plumbed properly. 
The 1835 was said to be modified to a 2700. I don't believe it unless some one 
here has more info. I have no records of the mod. 
I bought this plane because it was Very affordable. I had ( at first ) 
considered salvaging just the pets needed to complete mine. I am now under the 
impression it may be worth more to some one else. 
Any interest email me off list at my full name at gmail dot com no spaces.

KR> Identify?

[Larry Flesner]

Does anyone have any knowledge of this 
airplane? 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/001%20%282%29.jpg  I 
recall it was being built for attempts at long distance records.

It appeared at the 1990 KR Gathering at Rough River, Kentucky and 
I've never seen or heard of it again.  I came across the photo while 
going through boxes in my garage.  Amazing what you'll find in boxes 
that you've not opened in many years.  I'll have to go through the 
rest of the photos to see what other gems are hidden there.

KR> Engine RPM Guage

[Tucker Brown]

Hi Joe,

I don't have any experience with these parts either, however I must ask a
few questions that would hopefully help someone who knows more.

I would expect the impulse signal to be something you would not read on a
DC or AC setting on a DMM (multi-meter) but could be read on other types
of meters/scopes.  What did you use?

Do you have a manufacturer and part number for these components?

Regards,
Tucker

This morning I did some tailwheel up taxiing(mikes email helped motivate and 
plan this event). ?It tracks down the center of the runway with good control, I 
wouldn't mind a little more rudder(I can add more later). ?My low idle is a 
little rough so I will turn my iddle stop screw a few turns to raise the rpm. 
?I got it light on the wheels and then backed off. ?It may be ready to fly but 
I want some more practice.

KR> first flight details.

[Mike Sylvester]

OK Guys, Now that I'm down from a near adrenaline overdose (LOL). This is my 
story.

I have been tail up taxiing for several weeks and was feeling pretty confident 
that I could keep it on the runway. There was another issue that was dealing me 
fits and that was nerves. I kept coming up with excuse after excuse not to fly. 
I kept dwelling on what could go wrong, this is pretty serious stuff when you 
think about it. I finally decided no more excuses, the winds where going to be 
favorable Friday evening. I made sure the wife knew all the pertinent 
information. Called a trusted friend to be my ground crew and to call the 
rescue people if needed. Game on. Climbed in about 5 pm yesterday, fired her up 
and taxied to the runway knowing there was no turning back this time. The crazy 
thing was that the nervousness was gone. All business now. A quick run up and 
let her roll out to 04. Throttle up, tail up, more throttle and she's pulling a 
lot harder than my 150 with the same engine. She made a funny bounce and I 
thought she wanted to fly, I was right, back on the stick and I was in the air. 
I held her down for a couple of seconds before starting a 100 mph climb out. I 
could not believe how simple that was and that I was not over controlling the 
plane. All of my fears of POH and rolling her upside down on takeoff were gone. 
I let her climb to three thousand feet while circling the field, pulled the 
throttle back to around 2500 while leveling out. Checked speed, 140 mph without 
the paints or spinner. Thinking that I would have to make several attempts at 
landing and feeling pretty confident about the handling of the plane, I started 
descending back to the pattern with carb heat on. I was going to extend the 
downwind to give me a long approach so I pushed carb heat off and added 
throttle. Started a turn to base and that's when things went bad. The engine 
started stumbling, needless to say, the funny thing is that I was more worried 
about destroying the plane than I was getting hurt. I had been in contact with 
my friend on the ground, calling out temps, pressures and pilot status. I told 
him I had a Mayday situation with engine dying, his response was, Get it down! 
I had already started a turn to final, realizing that I could make the runway 
all thoughts went to Oh Shit, I've only got 1 chance to land a plane that I've 
never landed before. was this really happening ? I was way high once I knew I 
could make it, engine still surging, Pulled it back to idle, checked speed,140 
mph, Raised nose to slow to 120 mph, lowered speed brake, nosed it over hard 
and the brake did it's job. Stayed at 120 aiming for end of runway, started 
leveling out and crossed the numbers at 100, I held it off the runway letting 
the brake slow her down while making sure not to move the stick, she finally 
settled onto the runway, added some forward stick and basically nailed a 
perfect landing letting her roll till the tail dropped. Engine ran great 
taxiing back to hanger. Did a quick run up and no problems. After a lot of 
discussion, We are blaming pilot error. While I was cruising at reduced power 
setting, I had leaned the engine, I think I had more throttle than the lean jet 
could handle when I tried to extend the down wind or possibly carb icing. 
Lesson learned.
