The crank end diameter is about 33.75mm Interesting the 1835vw engine I'm replacing had a 36mm diameter crank end.

Subject: KR> KR-2 T-Tail To: "KRnet" Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" KR Netters, Just received this from Harold Woods. His link is www.uaespaces.com/harold/index.htm Sid Wood KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD USA Sidney.wood@titan.com Hi Sid. I am using a Franklin ,60 HP, 2 cylinder,4 cycle , approved aircraft engine.. It will be rather low powered because I am afraid that my weight is building up. It is T tailed because it has spoilers in the wing stubs for glide slope control. A builder in England also put spoilers on his KR and found that there was buffeting on the horizontal stabilizers when the spoilers were deployed. I thus put the horizontal stabilizer up higher, out of the way of any turbulance. I hope that it works. I have to put in the instument panel, wire the engine, run the gas to the carb, add the brake lines,adjust the ailerons, put in the front windows, ( They have been fitted previously) and paint it. I cannot say when all this will be completed. Thank you for your interest.

Subject: RE: KR> RE Sweat To: , "KRnet" Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" My 24 X 42 shop has a small house type oil furnace and central air conditioning unit, cost $970 plus $500 installation. I did the electric myself. Exhaust fan is 600 cfm unit from Lowes; installed that myself. My oil bill is $219 a year and electric is $17 a month (separate meter for the shop). For the amount of time I spend in that shop, that's a bargain. Plus, I can control the environmental conditions so my epoxy will cure properly.

The archives are full of this information. Anyway, here is something to chew on while you search the archives. 1) Cabin width of the standard KR-2? Is it enough for two 170lb guys shoulder to shoulder?? Yes, if they are good friends and don't have BO. I am 180, 5'9" and Jerry is 185, 5'10" and we tried the new plane out one day. It is tight, but doable. 2) Can a tri-gear KR-2 be used successfully with a 1600cc VW? What performance could one expect? Very marginal. And "depends". How heavy is it and are you planning on both of those people in it on a regular basis? It may be hard to get it off the ground, long ground roll, and I would not expect more that 110 to 120 MPH and I think the 120 is stretching it with a well built, light ( redundant ) KR. I built one and flew it for 185 hours and am now building the second with my partner, Jerry.
