The Kr is a great aircraft and just a lot of fun to fly and work with. I never
kept track, but I probably had 200 - 300 hours maintaining and improving my KR
over the years.
For those of you building or considering a KR, GO!! It is well worth it.

I believe that some of the last larger engines sold by HAPI had a crank and
hub combination that the hubs were shrink fit using a high interference fit.
Once the hub was installed on the crank the only way to take it off was to
chuck it in a lathe and machine it off. It has been a long
