Henni,
In my 25 year exposure to KR's and having built one with an 0-200, I
would ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMEND going
offs to consider.

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? ?

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 h
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

limited to a 55 inch prop? HP=T x RPM Peter
