Ok, its best to let the FSDO decide. Here is one that will cause some discussion. My Smith Miniplane was built with an O-235-C. At some point it was changed to an O-290-D. I am now putting in an O-235-C again. We are talking a 10 Hp change...Is this a major or minor change? Craig

KR> Electrical System
Don't know anything about the health of the company but when I ordered mine over a year ago I had no problems. The breakers open when an over current happens. It then has a drain circuit that keeps a little current flowing to keep the breaker tripped. When you turn off the associated switch the current drops to zero and the device resets. All good in theory and Sid has actually used it so I would refer any question to him.

KR> 5 bladed prop
Just got of the phone with Darryl @ Warp Drive. I initially used their online quote form to get a price on a 5 bladed prop. Because if your building a Seafury you gotta have a 5 bladed prop. RIGHT? Anyway, the response from HoverHawk Corp that sells the props was that its too heavy and they quoted me a 3 bladed prop for an O-235. After calling the factory I am excited to say I am still good to use a 5 bladed prop. The Sensenich used was 24 lbs and the 5 blades with hub will be about 20 lbs. SO the plan is to start with 60 inch blades and cut them down from there as I experiment with the performance. I suspect I can go as small as 52-55 inches if need be. It will not be my daily flyer but when going to an airshow the 5 blades are the choice for sure. Excited Builder Craig
KR> The Seafury LS Frankenstein Lycoming
This engine has gotten the name Frankenstein by the shop that built it because it started as an O-235-C1, 108Hp Colt engine and now its a monster. The rear case is a O-235-L2C case and that added a fuel pump and oil ports for a cooler. Original low comp cylinders are going back on it. The Oil sump is from an O-360 and it has an Ellison EFS-4 TBI. When I finally add the the P-Mags we are looking at about 125 Hp @ 2800. Now to get that mount done and hang this monster. Definitely going to add a graphic on the cowling that says "Frankenstein Lycoming" http://kr2seafury.com/resources/DSCN1899.JPG Craig www.kr2seafury.com

Go for it, the KR is a great choice...but, the KR is not for a novice pilot. You need to get the licence and progress to more advanced aircraft before flying the KR. I am sure others will chime in on this so I will just say welcome and enjoy building the plane. I'll actually be sad when mine is done. I love the building part.

Well, since you asked. I just finished up my lycoming engine mount Jig. The 4130 will be here next weekend and I can tack weld it and get it off to the welder. In the mean time my engine is in a box at Aero Engine waiting on the main bearings. So in 2 weeks we will put the lower end together and if I am really lucky I will be hanging the engine on the firewall by May 1st. This in the most progress I have made in 2 years. Next is that front deck I started last year and mount the panel. Then it's off to the tail or the left wing, I haven't decided yet. Hope to have this plane mostly done by late 2016 so I can start test flying in 2017. Gotta have goals.

KR> Back to the KR...Finally
Finally done with the Colt and flew .7 today. Now on to the KR again. But first, todays lesson will be that no matter how hard you try you will miss something. My flight today after 10 months of work was anything but uneventful. The small oil leak turned into a big oil leak. Good thing I am staying right over the airport and flying oval tracks. Oil cooler line was dripping a little but I couldn't find the source. Oh well lets go fly it and maybe the leak will stop. It only got worse. In 45 min I lost 3 qts that mostly resides on the belly of the plane now. Lesson...find and fix the damn leak. The second thing was that if you know a plane and then make a change,,,in this case I added about 40 Hp. Then you should expect to relearn the plane...I was not expecting all the torque and extra right rudder I was going to need. While learning that lesson I fail to notice that I had no airspeed by time I looked at it I was half way down the 1900 foot runway. Oh and 40 extra ponies make things happen faster too. So I decided we were going flying even with airspeed stuck on 0. Flew fine for 45 min and watched the oil pressure slowly slip down...down... down, at 50 psi it was time to land. Time to make an approach and see how thing felt since I only have 1900 feet. First approach looked good so I went around and came on in. Finally something that went as planned and the landing was uneventful. Turned out that when we reskinned the belly we forgot to open the static tubes. A hot soldering iron fixed that. So even though we had 3 people (1 was an IA) working on the plane we all missed that static vents. The oil leak was all my fault as I backed off a 45 deg fitting to get it to line up with my oil line. So even though we try hard to think of everything. We always will miss something. If were lucky, it a small something that does not become life threatening. Now back to that KR. Craig www.kr2seafury.com
