KR> VW prop hub connection

Those FAA accident reports are quite sobering, pointing the finger almost entirely at engine problems, inadequately prepared pilots, or just lack of attention to detail (and then there's the stupidity). One that caught my attention (and doesn't fit any of the above descriptions) is this one

At 876 lbs empty I'd be looking for a bigger engine than a VW - especially at that altitude and with those temps. Also, I'm pretty sure 3,000 rpm is a bit low - most of the VW guys seem to go for around 3,400 - 3,600. TK Sent from my iPad > On 23 Dec 2015, at 6:36 PM, PIERRE via KRnet

I have a 54/48 on the front of a 2100 Revmaster in my 2S. I originally had a 54/50 but wanted a better climb so I had it repitched. I'm 3000 static and was just slightly less before the repitch. Cruise speed (135 mph ) at 3300 didn't really seem to change much. N6399UKenny Wiltrout On

Langford said, "I'm now flying a "52x54" Sterba prop on the 650 pound KR2. As the engine gets broken in, I expect the RPMs to come up a bit more also, maybe 3500 or so." You really did something special to Faughn's old engine to be getting those numbers, especially with single ignition. With

Hi Guys, It feels as if I've hit a brick wall. I had a 48(pitch) X 52 prop on my KR2S (haven't flown yet). The max revs I got was 2,760rpm static. I then bought a 45(pitch) X 54 prop to see if I can get to 3,000rpm, but I only got to 1,850rpm. Stripped the 2 Stromberg 175 cd carburetors and

Adam Tippin A KR2S builder What engine do you have? It seems you decreased pitched and at the same time increased length. Increasing length, decreases RPM with the same rated horsepower. Similarly decreasing pitch, increases RPM. Shorten the either of the props and you will see a significant

Dave, You could benefit from consulting with a prop maker. Ed Sterba makes many of the props used on VW engines. ed_ste...@excite.com See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics  See you at the 2012 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il – MVN – 40th Anniversary There is a time for

Chrissi, There is a link in the email below about how to determine what pitch/diameter prop is needed.. Thought you might like to read it when time permits. I have not been in the site but will later tonight. Ron Another email coming with Cowling Photos.. Cannot remember if I sent them to
