The problem is. I fly fast. I fly with big engines. I fly at night and I fly
IFR. So that leaves LSA's sitting on the side with the RC's for me. I worked
very hard for my license and my ratings to let some wanna be doctor in Oklahoma
City tell me I can't fly. So I went though hell and back

Henni,
In my 25 year exposure to KR's and having built one with an 0-200, I
would ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMEND going
Hi gents,
Thank you for your reply. Mark, I hear your point & will give it some serious
thought. When you look at my pics, you'll notice the builder made the ailerons
inboard only and full width to the rear spar. I'm sure I can convert that into
flaps and ad outboard ailerons. This would not
I am a bit confused about the 160 HP Continental engine. ?What engine model is
that? ?Continental made an O-346 which is 165 HP, and an O-300, which is 145
HP. ?Or do you mean a 160 HP O-320 Lycoming? ?
George McHenry had just replaced the O-235 Lycoming on his Single Seat KR-2S
with a 160 HP+
Hi Jeff,
Just to answer your question - I've just had the reply. It is the Continental
O-346 indeed. I think I'm going for it!
All the best,
Hennie van Rooyen

My experience with a 2" difference in prop diameter and no other change is only
in the neighborhood of 50 to 70 rpm
woo-hoo!
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your detailed answer my friend. Yes, it is a Continental. I've
now asked for the exact engine model number. Awaiting a reply.
So to sum it up:
1. Yes, it could be done.
2. One will have to be very aware of the speed.
3. It will most definitely burn much more fuel.
4. With
Hi,
I've already have pics of that aircraft. I have no intention of building
something else. If this engine not at all suitable for an existing KR2, I'll
just not consider this deal at all. The only reason it grabbed my attention is
of the many Corvair powered KR2s flying quite satisfactory
Hi Everyone!
I checked my name on the list server and it is there, hope it works
Just a note on Henni's special KR2. I have known Henni for quiet a while
and we have had many flying adventures in the past! I hope we will soon
have KR flying adventures to add to the list. Knowing Henni I
Hi again,
I just want to clarify the reason for my question. I have advertised our Vulcan
Nomad 1500 tourer bike to swop for an ultralight. To my amazement, today
someone offered to swop me for this engine, log books up to date, complete & in
a good running condition. This sounds like a very
"Don't crucify me"
On this site, especially when it comes to engines?
Since I am going liquid cooled let me give my opinion. Weight is definitely an
issue, but so is horse power. I don't care what engine you are interested in,
if it is more than 130 hp you should probably be looking at
Hennie; Continentals need to be run at 75% at cruise, or they can burn oil. I
added a quart an hour in my IO-470 because I ran at low power too much of the
time. Also, how will you transfer that much torque to the airstream if you are
limited to a 55 inch prop? HP=T x RPM Peter
Every prop I have cut had given me 100 rpm per in up to 3".

The "world's lightest KR" project sure didn't last
Henni,
I'm sure someone else will point out that engine is ok for a KR360 but not a
KR2. See about 1/3 down on http://www.krnet.org/redoak2002
