I'm not completely knowledgable on the subject. I purchased a project that included the type 4. The change from a 2.0 type 4 to a 2.3 type 4 was only precautionary because of the years on the engine, and the availability of the newly built 2.3 liter, and the desire for more speed. My web page has more info. I stated earlier that the type 4 has a stronger case which is not as prone to cracking. Most of the crank problems seem to have originated from engines with stroker cranks allowing the engine to be built to 2600cc and above. Meny successes and failrues have occured wilth both types. Some of the factors have more to do with the operator. A frilend of mine put his KR2 into the corn field twice because of block failures in his type 3. Mine is a 103mm piston with a 71mm crank. The case had to be cut at the piston opening to allow the fat cylinders. I dont have a clue as to the HP. Steve Bennett publishes HP wilth some of his liturature and I could guess at mine. HP has a lot of factors including compression. I'm more interested in safety, smoothness, climb speed and max curise. I can turn a 54x52 at 3200rpm in cruise. This was true of the 2.0 and I expect more rpm from the 2.3. I have been discussing with Ed Sturba, trying to increase the rpm with the same prop. I want 3600 for climb. The only problems I have had in the years is the failure of a cheap 2.0 Liter cylinder, which cracked at the flange for the head. The only other problem I experienced was pre ignition caused by using auto fuel from a big named gas national gas station. in that case the engine ran fine until lift off where the pre ignition started and climb power dropped to about 50 feet per min. Carbs are another subject of interest. I have used a POSA, I have tried a Zenith, and Fly with a RevFlow. The most crtitical factor is control of the mixture. The posa and super could not, the zenith had no flight adjustment and the Revflow is the best of the three. If I could have any system I wanted I would choose Sequential fuel injection. I was asked about the crank and flywheel, The crank was modified to accept the force one hub by GP. the flywheel end is attached to a Diehl case and internal alternator. I prefer the Out of business Volks Power case and external alternator, except the larger cylinders crank easier with the larger starter on the Diehl case. This reply has been a bit long. But, before I send it I will hazard a few more thoughts. I did not vote. This list, the web sites and patricipants that it leads to are a valuable assett. You have a tool that we did not have in the earlier years (83 for me) the pictures at the sites especially the detail are great and has helped to greatly improve the KR aircraft as a whole. Like other media, (newspapers, magizines and the like) you scan the subjects for things of interest and take note, read intently and even copy material. Savor the opportunity, Saying "me too" or "count my vote" are part of the things that people do when they are in a group and communicate, its natural. If we were at Oshkosh or Barkley at a table or bar the same things would happen. The reason that computers have become so popular is that they allow each of us to participate, in our group the the KR Net.

Thanks for that post! I enjoyed it. I think you hit the "me too" thing right on the head. It's what people do. It can be annoying, but it can also give you a feel for what the group thinks. So... if you feel strongly enough about ME TOO nig somthing, you need to hit "reply all". I think that works OK. Folks may have noticed my KR marathon died ... I had a big backyard project and supplimented this with trips to the sailport to fly gliders. Possibly just a diversion to prevent me from facing all the work remaining on my KR. At any rate soaring in a glider is pretty fun, until you run out of money. -- Ross > AviationMech@aol.com wrote: > > > This reply has been a bit long.

My KR with the the throttle closed would just mush, no wing drop, just a comfortable slow mush, until you added 1500 rpm and got that nose up at about a 30 degree angle on the nose, should not say snapped over because it will start another rumor, the nose had a definite break which is not too fast and fully controllable. That is both with flap and clean, except the speeds were different. Want the speed go to my web site?

With no power, a slight tremor through the stick and a high sink rate. Recovery is to check foward slightly and you are away again. With power, a strong tremor through the stick and a nice clean break with the nose dropping smoothly away. Recovery is the same. Check foward slightly and presto you are ready to do it again. In the thousands of stalls that I have practiced over the years I have NEVER had a wing drop. But try a climbing turning stall and she will start to drop a wing rather smartly as indeed most machines will. She is definately not squirrly. Have a quick look at my homepages below for details.

Stalls in a 152 are violent compared to the stalls in my KR. Never had a wing drop, and always get a small buffet as a warning. As far as mushing and losing altitude, I guess it depends on how quickly you stall it. With a little practice, you can hold your altitude thru the stall (power off) and recover in less than 100 feet. With power on stalls, I always seem to gain a lot of altitude while trying to get it to stall. When it does stall, it's just like power off- the nose starts bobbing gently. Really. Stall speed is 38 MPH indicated.
