Craig, It's worth noting that getting a registration is dealing with the registry branch in Oklahoma City. Yes, they are hopelessly behind. I am also waiting for a new registration on an aircraft, but that's not much of a concern as they will keep extending the validity of the temporary regis

This is a requirement any time you make a major alteration to an amateur built aircraft. Simply write a letter to you local FSDO explaining in detail the modification you made and the change to the W&B or a new W&B. This will get assigned to an air worthiness inspector who will send you a l

AGM batteries seem to be about the same cold cranking amps as comparable lead/acid batteries. It's the Lithium Iron batteries that can really deliver the amperage. -Jeff > Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2022 at 10:10 PM > From: "Daniel Branstrom via KRnet" > To: &quo

For comparison, I ran a 62D x 66P prop on the O-200 on my KR.With a 60" diameter, you could probably reasonably pull a 68"pitch, but I would expect a 76" prop would be too much load for an O-200. It would likely work pretty well on an O-235-L2C with an SAE-1 hub. -Jeff Scott Arkansas Ozark
