KR> Fuel Flow Test

Here is a YouTube video (thanks to Bernie Wunder) of the fuel flow test on 12/30/11 after replacing the mechanical VW fuel pump and installing a check valve to permit the Facet electric pump to prime the mechanical pump and perform as a back-up fuel pump. I also fixed the oil leaks at the

KR> Aeropoxy

I am wondering how much Aeropoxy I will need for wing construction on my KR2S. How much should I have on hand while laying up the fiberglass ? I plan just one layer of glass at a time with peel-ply.Is there is a method to figure how much to mix for a given area ? From previous experience

KR> Rotary Anyone?

As I was going back thru my back issues of KITPLANE magazine (Feb 2011), I saw another article on the rotary engine. It got me thinking, so I am doing a bit of research on the engine right now and was wondering if anyone on the list had any experience with these? The one website (

KR> VW crank failures

Yep, that is the one. I should have mentioned that it was an Aerovee 2180 on a Sonex and that would have eliminated a lot of questions I got about who's engine it was. I am glad you are rebuilding this engine for Bret. He will be able to fly with confidence with a rebuilt engine from you. Happy

KR> VW crank failures

Hi Mark, if your referring to a VW hub/crank failure from WI, the only one I am aware of this late summer is Bret T. If so, it is a 2180 from a competitor of ours that still uses a shrink fit hub on stroked engines. The engine is currently in our shop being rebuilt with an American Forged
