Hi Dene!

Thanks!

I am hoping to do a "Round SA" trip first week in January 2012 so yes, I 
will be in PE soon if my plans work out, will let you know as planning 
progresses. The current engine setup in VYZ was developed over a period 
of time with many mods along the way and still a few I want to do but 
mostly small things now.

My seats are molded (FG/Carbon) and are quite deep, that helps a lot if 
you are tall like me, at 6'3" my head is far from the canopy. I am going 
to have the seats recovered soon, I do not have any decent photos of 
them but I will make a point of taking some!

Good luck with your project and keep us informed!
Regards,
Rudi

Hi Rudi
Just took a look at your website, wow that engine installation looks good! I
am currently busy with a revmaster 2100 installation that is turbo charged,
intercooled and fuel injected. A first for me and a steep learning curve. Is
there any chance you will be coming down PE way in the near future? I would
love to see your aircraft up close.
I am interested in the seats you have in your plane, do you perhaps have any
pics of them?

Hi Eric, thanks!

Yes, it does help, the intercooler cools the mixture quite a bit (you 
can feel the difference between the inlet and outlet with your hand) but 
how much it helps with the actual power output I have not calculated yet.

Hi Dan!

Yes, the engine started life as a type 4 VW, since then the crank, 
con-rods, pistons, cylinders and heads have been replaced with custom 
parts. I am using an Ellison TB. Yes, it is turbo charged with a Garret 
turbo charger with intercooler. The ceramic coated exhaust manifold is 
also custom as is the inlet manifold.

No, I did not build all the planes, just a few, some were 
rebuilds/rescues I did and some projects that I took over. I love 
anything that flies! Soon there will be 2 more additions to the fleet 
:-) I have 4 projects (including another KR2) in progress at the moment...

Fly safe,
Rudi

Rudi,

Is that a turbo VW?  Did you build all those planes?  You have a very
interesting collection.

See you at the 2012 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il – MVN – 40th

There is a time for building and it never seems to end.
