I will be talking with them next week (they have a shop as well as a parts house specializing in Corvairs). I will report back on my findings as far as availability of engines here in the Northwest, tips on rebuilding, etc.- but for now they have the same comments as everybody else has about how reliable and available the Corvair engines are. And hey- what happened to my KRNet digest? I came in for my morning fix and 'no joy'. Was there no net traffic Thursday? ;o) Oscar Zuniga Medford, Oregon website at http://www.geocities.com/Pipeline/Dropzone/5610/ _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I didn't know that Gates had so many legal preventions for the use of its belts. In Argentina I speak with a very kind man, but with the information that he give to me, I don't have enough. I will also tell them that it is to manufacture a sorghum mill!!! Now, joining the whole help that I received from the net, I beginning to manage the problem a little better. Thanks to all of you.

I believe that our imbecility (that of the humans) it arrives to incredible limits) (I had an accident, my only, for silly and imprudent and I left very well stopped, without lesions). I liked your way to face the topic and I believe that we all can, we should, to learn of the own and other people's errors. It is one of the advantages of belonging to a net of companionship and fraternity like KR-net, in which I feel very integrated and comfortable. Congratulations and...

I recently bought a Header Tank from Tom Anderson, (thanks for the tank Tom), but I have decided to go only with wing tanks and now have KR-2S header tank for sale. Holds 12 gal. Price $150.00 plus shipping. The tank is in great shape, but since I have decided upon a Corvair engine and the fuel comsumption we be greater than a VW engine.I will be building wing tanks anyway. So i have elected to use the header tank area for storage as Mark Langford has done. If interested in the tank please email me directly. mailto:tflemming@texramp.net 3. I got to go flying in a RV-6A today and did some aerobatics. I haven't been flying in about 4 years, so I am pumped to get back out to the shop and to the airport work on my KR and pilot's license. Progress Report 4. I have the tailpost installed and fixing to start skinning the sides. I have the Horz. spars cut and hinges installed. I used Dean's method on the hinges and I'm very pleased with the outcome. I am waiting on Troy to fly so that the new Airfoils can be released and I can glass the tail feathers. I will try to update my website in the next 2 weeks.

I explained how the top of the engine systems could be no higher than the top of the distributor cap, and he said that could be done. With the turbo installation, it's really easy since the turbo goes behind the engine and the intake manifold merely snakes up to the heads. I think the starter could reqire a small blister with a 10" spinner but with a 12" spinner and a built up spinner ring it would probably all fit. A 9" extension is just what the doctor ordered for the RR 0-200 cowl on the Subaru engines. -Tom -----Original Message----- From: Warron Gray To: KR-net users group Date: Friday, June 11, 1999 6:32 PM Subject: [kr-net] Re: Attn: Direct Drive Subaru EA-81 Engine Owners >Tom the only thing that may be a problem is the clearance for the injection >system. the stock manifold with direct drive will not fit under the cowling in >the kr2-s.

In AC 20-27D, Par.15, section 16 it states that The builder must be the "primary builder" but doesn't specify the percentage that must be built. The second part of it is, "can satisfactorily prove requisite skill in determining whether the aircraft is in condition for safe operation". I have been told be a person at the local FSDO that as long as a person can demonstrate acceptable knowledge of the particular aircraft, they should be able to get the Repairman's Certificate.

It is made for a Pietenpol though and might have to be modified for a KR. Their main website is but it doesnot not show a photo of the mount. The mount is advertized with the Model A engine mount on . The price is not given.
