KR>kr2 prop needed 2100d revmaster

Kevin---I too have a 2100 revmaster but I use a 54X50 culver prop, the reason for this posting is that a 42" pitch may be a little low for a good cruise prop. I have no problem maintaining 3200 rpm in cruise flight and 3400 full throttle. My climb is decent as well. On Fri, 12 Sep 2003

KR>kr2 prop needed 2100d revmaster

I gotta tell U, when I had my signoff done I could have had a lawn mower blade on the front of 6399U and I don't think it really would have mattered. All inspectors operate differently I guess.-GOOD LUCK On Fri, 12 Sep 2003 23:46:59 -0700 kevin writes: >

I believe that's the weekend for the Virginia EAA Fly In as well in Petersburg. (PTB). After looking at the projected path of this hurricane it will be affecting the weather in this area (PTB)on fri and possibly sat. On Sun, 14 Sep 2003 10:23:58 EDT frlfar...@wmconnect.com writes: > There will

I've got the more expensive Cleveland brake setup and I can't hold mine at full throttle either. These brakes are made for go karts that weigh 100lbs or so, not airplanes that gross in excess of 1000lbs. But your correct when you spoke about not pushing to hard as that load goes to the rudder via

KR>Cowling

I used the RR cowling and have the 2100 Revmaster. There was a lot of cutting and fitting but the look is excellant. You need to cut in the air intake for oil cooler. I dropped the bottom to accept the carb and installed ram air as well., all this took time. Don't think because it is premolded

KR>What carb

The Rev-Flow-it's a good carb, just be sure to use carb heat during the winter months.These things will ice up, contrary to what I've heard. On Mon, 1 Sep 2003 18:58:24 -0400 "Colin" writes: > Kenneth, > What kind of carb are you using? > > Colin Rainey KR2(td) >

KR>Virginia State EAA Fly-In

I'll be there weather permitting. Judy Sparks said she'll order the weather herself. I'll be coming down a little farther to the east to avoid all that good ADZ stuff.6399U On Tue, 26 Aug 2003 08:48:04 -0400 Donald Reid writes: > At 08:10 AM 8/26/2003

KR>Oshkosh - I'm home

Jim, I've been flying my S for 3 yrs now and have wondered about aerobatics, Just what are these planes capable off? I would get training first of course.-Thanks!! On Sat, 2 Aug 2003 21:19:35 -0500 "Jim Faughn" writes: > Thanks to all that I saw at Oshkosh. It

KR>Camber

I went through this 6 yrs ago myself and could not believe how far off I was, I also used Dan's landing gear package. I'm not sure exactly how the instructions read but when it came time to mount the lower brackets for the axles the instructions left alot to be desired, luckily I could fill in

KR>Airport woes

Brian I really don't think this type of aircraft will do well being outside on a permanent basis. I'd be concerned with warpage due to humidity and temp extremes. These do require a lot of maint for the 1st year or so till you get the bugs out. My cowl was off every other wkend for the first year
