They are not taking about VWs. I know from past experiences that with a 54 " prop it will stop. The prop is not long enough to keep it wind milling - Original Message - From: "Phillip Matheson" To: "KRnet" Sent: Sunday, December 26, 2004 10:55 PM

Your problem will be that your plane is not just like the one built 30 yrs ago. The Dallas inspector here said you would not get it passed in this district unless the plane was identical and you could prove it. We all know that there is not one alike. I have a C on my Bellanca NC74372 because

You can't use the large N# on a KR there is no place long enough to put them. I wanted to fly mine to the Bahamas a few years ago and we had to have the large N# and could not make them fit, so we did not go. - Original Message - From: "Dan Heath" To:

Stay away.It will not perfome with the KR runs out at about 130 mph. I tried Warp and Ivo with no luck. Ed Sturba had the best prop for the KR at the time. I am going to use one of his prop for the KR I have know. --- Pete Diffey wrote: > Hi, > > After seeing Mark Gorlov's

I ran through rain about 10 yrs ago in my KR headed to Osh Kosh. About 5 min. after that I felt a vibration about 2 minutes later my prop left the plane with the front part of the crank. The KR became a nice glider to a pasture in Osceola Mo. The prop did not have a leading edge protector. When I

I won't say how many times I have been caught on top but twice because of airspace and fuel I have contacted approach and told them my problem. You would be surprised at how well I was treated. I was told to go to another frequency and they help me down. The first time was in a KR with basic

For those of you that are new to the retract conversation. Back in late 80's yearly 90's this was discussed in the news letters (no Internet) Most all KR's that were converted to fixed gear picked up speed. Mine picked up about 10 mph. I had over 150 hrs on mine before I changed and put about 600

I am not sure what book you refer to but everything being equal a 2 bladed prop will perform better than a 3 bladed prop. A prop disturbs the air in front of it as it comes around and a 3 bladed prop disturbs more air. The perfect prop would only have one blade. The three bladed prop is quieter

It was converted to a single seat. Who sets the weight limit? The building sense he takes all the responsibility. My KR-2 weighed 520 empty,This one weighs about 900. It has a heavier gear and a few other mods. Les built it to hold just about any engine you might want to put on it. ---
