The more power you have, the safer the airplane, assuming the CG is properly
set up. Why? Because you climb out quicker, clear obstacles sooner, and
have more altitude margin for problems that crop up...such as a dropped
cylinder, deton

Thanks. I have never rebuilt an engine. I'm sure I will have plenty of
questions. So the engines I have can be upgraded to bigger 2180? Will that be
just a rebuild kit for the 2180 or will it have to be completely different?

Thanks
Upgrading all the way up to 2180 is easily doable with your current engine
by replacing cylinders and sometimes crankshaft - easy and not too
expensive.

No. My first KR2 had an 1835, and it flew well with it. However, if you
could build it at 450 pounds or less, then you might get away with the 1600.
I don't think it will kill you, but you won't have very good climb.

Dave,
Got a couple of suggestions for you.
First, you could have the rings waterjet cut. This method allows you
a variety of materials to choose from since they will be cut from flat
material.
Second, if the right size of plastic (Delrin works well) or aluminum
pipe can be had, you could

I understand that powder coating aluminum parts can severly reduce their
strength (depending on the alloy and temperature used) due to the heating
process. I don't have any references at hand but I would study this before
coating strength critical aluminum parts.

I am not sure about weight. A friend is in the business and I work on his A/C
units. I have to move the boxes of color when I do and the box is about 12x12
and seems lighter than a can of paint. Powder coat is just basically small

I used a paint called Hammered something or other, it makes a really nice

My recommendation would be to magnaflux your components before powder
coating. Most powder coating materials that I have used are thin enough and
brittle enough that you will have cosmetic issues with the powder coating if
you have stress cracks or excessive deflection. Motorcycle frames, drag
