Is there any reason a O-200 mount off a '67 C-150 would not work on a KR?

Thanks for the post. It was 15 to 20 degrees, not 25 degrees.

A run out 85 is worth about $2,000 to $2,500. The conversion/overhaul
should cost you about $7,000. You can spend a whole lot more on the

Brian, I have a video tape, the KR had 8 hours on it at the time, filmed
both from the ground looking up and from inside the KR.
I made a copy and sent it New Brunswick, another copy went out to western
Canada. I haven't seen hide or tail of them since.
In any event they are simple

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
Al,
Congratulations! You now have the priviledge of moving your project from
"under construction" to "flying". I bet a tear or two of joy was shed when she
took flight...

Congrats, Pat!
..on your first flight! According to all the info on the KR net
regarding the VW 1835, that's GREAT performance for that engine! I'm
also glad to hear that because I am going with a Hapi V/W 1834cc myself
on my '2s. I hope to duplicate, or come close to your figures, if I can
My sister has come across a C-85, circa 1930s, 'brand new' still in the crate.
This is part of an estate sale from a former Luscombe dealer. My question is

Bob,
I have a friend here who knows just about all there is to know about antique
aircraft. First, he isn't absolutely sure, but he doubts that it is either,
from the 30's, or that it is a C-85, because he does not think that they
made that engine then.
He says that it should have a log book
