Hi Bud
I will try and be there on Saturday July 8th, but not with my KR.
I am assuming we will meet at the same place and time as last year?

Hi Mark
What type of coaxial cable did you use?
Transponders usually require double sheilded coax to prevent spurious
signals.
I also had a problem in my plane when I used a steel bolt to pass the =
ground
through the firewall, I replaced it with a brass one which solved the
problem.

Hi Rich
If a 4.25 " tailwheel will fit, buy one from Steve

I have been using this tailwheel for a year, it is very quiet and long

I started building my KR2 in 1986, and it finally left the earth today.
The airport is at sea level and there was no wind.
The test pilot flew it for .9 hrs, circling the airport.
The plane hit a top speed of 130 mph at 3200 rpm, climbed 1000'/min at
70 knots, and stalled at 45 knots.
The plane
problem I am having is getting used to the rudder sensitivity
on rollout.
I ground looped it causing slight damage to the trailing edge of the
left wingtip.
Robert Pyra told me that I touched down nicely and just overcorrected on
rollout.

Hi Michael
I am 6'2" and 240 Lbs, and mine flies just fine with a 1835 VW, I built
a stock KR2 with fixed gear.
On the other hand I can not carry a passenger until I drop about 40 lbs.

Congratulations!
You made the right decision in getting a experienced test pilot to fly
it the 1st time.
I was nervous enough on the ground, not alone flying it for the first
time.
By the time I flew the KR I was calmed down, knowing that it would fly.

Hi Oscar
It would work but would have limited range, my ELT came with 2 antennas
one a telescoping portable.
I used my ELT antenna by making a star pattern for a ground plane, made
using 1 inch wide copper strips.
I put the Antenna on the floor about 2 feet back from the seat back.

will be even higher if no cold air is getting to the carb.

More proof the a POSA carb can experience carb ice, it was probably in
the intake manifold.

The Local Global news hour will be televising a short interview about my

I was a little nervous landing as I knew about a million people might be

But I greased it :-)

Hi Robert
I used emery paper, it is available in rolls, you may need to go to a
autosupply, or welder to find it.
Emery paper is used to roughen up metal.

gust got me.
The best advice I received was to fly the plane in stocking feet until I =
got
the feel of the rudder pedals, I never had a problem with the plane =
being
pitch sensitive.
I now tail wheel the airplane every time and have had no problems =
landing it
now, 75 hours in the KR.

Hi James
I am 6'2" and fit in my KR2, as I cut the panel higher at my legs.
However my legs are only 32" long, so my main problem is headroom.

Congratulations John.
My stock kr2 had to have the electric trim re-rigged to give me more
nose down.
I don't think the trim tab is ever above the elevator only below it.
I am using a mac servo in the elevator to adjust the tab.
