KR> The dreaded medical exam.

Mark, let me tell you about my nightmare. Two years ago in March I had a (one) bout with A-fibulation caused by physical stress. I was sent to the hospital, the A-fib was gone by the time I was admitted and hasn't returned in over two years. I was sent to have a heart catherization, no

I noticed in the fastest KR information my KR (880AB) was listed as a KR2S. It is only a KR2, also the engine is a Great Plains 2180 cc Volkswagen, not a 2100.. The course was flown at around 75% - 80% power due to high exhaust temperatures (over 400 degrees) at rpms greater than 3,000. The

My two cents for what it is worth. Terry Teer had this problem and after spending weeks of trying this and that it ended up being a vapor lock in the fuel line. This hic-up only happened during taxi and you could set your clock by it. It would occur approximately 2 minutes after beginning taxi.
