KR> Fuel tank pick up and vent
Consider leakage and fire risk in event you nose over. Vent needs to loop above and then below the fuel level to prevent this. Refer Bingalis book. Don't vent to slipstream or suction can empty your fuel tank. If pointed into wind remember the ram pressure will affect your fuel delivery and some carbys are sensitive to this.

KR> annual finished
>Today November 19, 2011, I transported my KR-2, N6242, from my home shop to >2W6 St. Mary's County Airport, its new home. >Sid Wood + Good news. You are getting close to flying now. I finished up my annual today by fabricating the heat muff for carb heat. Made the last mod to the cowl for the new exhaust and closed it up. I rolled it outside for an engine run and it looks like I'm getting about 150 rpm more on the static run up. Looks like the new 4 tube exhaust will give me a bit more power for takeoff and climb which is what I was hoping for. Now it is wait for the weather to clear up a bit so I can check out my new exhaust and my new IFLY 700 GPS.Ye Haa.. Larry Flesner
KR> KR-2 Rollout
Today November 19, 2011, I transported my KR-2, N6242, from my home shop to 2W6 St. Mary's County Airport, its new home. Had one minor hangar rash on the rudder that needs fixing. I have seen worse that were still flying around. Highly recommend getting one or two or three knowledgeable helpers to expedite moving. Need to put the wings back on and pimp for the FAA inspection.
