There's been mention lately of ground adjustable props. If you've got an O-200 a CS prop is the cat's meow but for VW.Revmaster-powered KR's I would suggest a variable pitch prop is completely unnecessary. My first KR had a Revmaster 2100 with the Maloof CS prop. The controller never did work

That R-2300 sure seems like an ideal engine for a KR - designed to get it's power at lower RPM. This is ideal for a number of reasons. The higher the RPM the more heat is generated from friction and heat, besides being totally wasted energy, is the VW's worst enemy. I have a friend who went

Right now I have three props that I could try on my Corvair. I started with a grey Prince P-Tip prop 52x50 "thinned". I turn it 3350 static and 3800 full throttle. I runs smooth but fast. In a shallow dive it can go over 4000 - near redline so I am going to try another prop. Tommy

Hello Mark The thought of having dual usage for props in the bank is a great suggestion. In a recent discussion about that same subject, Sterba was quoted as saying "He would add the second pattern to his props, but not to other manufacturers props" Liability was the issue. Having said

Prop Drilling It worked well for me, and is not difficult. Mark carefully and drill any locator boss holes first, then on through for the bolts. Make sure you have a proper front plate to distribute the pressure. Ron Freiberger mail to rfreiberger at swfla.rr.com <- substitute an @ sign ;o)

Netters, (and builders when you get back in from the shop) Is there some way to machine an adapter plate of say 1 1/2 inch steel that would bolt to the prop flange of say a VW and then bolt the SAE1 prop to that or go the other way if that's what you're trying to do. I seem to recall that

Sure you could. It would be like a prop hub extension with one pattern on one side and the other on the other side. But then, you would have to have made your cowling to accept the prop hub extension unless you were just trying to get static. See N64KR at http://KR-Builder.org - Then click on
