I'm not sure if this was a Reno speed, or what, but I have also become very
skeptical of reported speeds, even "timed" race speeds. I was always
amazed at the issue of Kitplanes that extolled

And, I will add, no micro on the spars, just resin and good contact with the

I will put in a point that I consider a big benefit of the Corvair.
Assuming you can handle the extra 60 pounds, the Corvair brings a durability
level far greater than does the VW. I have had several VW engines in a car
and two different KRs, and I consider them to be really good engines and

Stan,
What Mark L. said. Your 1800cc bus engine is probably a type 4. They are
a little heaver then the usual type 1 VW. It will need a force 1 front
bearing the same as the type 1. You can find everything you need know
about VW conversions at Great Plains Aircraft. Good people.
For the Corvai

I would have to go with the Corvair, but it would have a 4340 steel crank in
it (which I've bought for the next plane), and they're not cheap. The VW is
a fine engine, but there are two big different

Good day list this is my first post to the group.
I ordered the plans for the KR1 and after reading the list I learned of
the KR-100. Both are one person airplanes but the 100 seems to have
better specs as far as speed goes.
What I have to work with is a 85 hp Corvair engine or a VW bus engine

Steve Glover is probably the guy to answer the KR100 question, but best I
can tell only one has ever flown, and it's now stripped to a shell
somewhere.
Check with Glover

Always sad to loose a fellow pilot.

Not sure is this is a subject of interest any of you as my aircraft
has been flying with two previous owners for quite some time.
N186 RC is a standard KR 2 that has been flying since 1993.
It is in my garage with the wings of. I have cleaned up the stub wings
