To: "KRnet" Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" I just put two gallons in the KR and my turbo Revmaster roared to life. It started amazingly easily considering that I have had it about three months and who knows how long since it was started before I got it. It idled very good. I could only get it to about 1,800 RPM while playing with both the throttle and the mixture, but other than the finicky Posa it was obvious that the engine was working great. There is a good bit of leakage out of the Posa with the fuel valve on and the engine not running. I seem to recall that this is normal on a Posa? I have about six hours on the Stang now. My starter clutch gave it up this morning on the O-200 so no more flying until Tuesday. Damn. Can anyone tell me how normal it is on the starter clutch to go belly up on the O-200? I just changed the rest of the starter a few days ago.

I could also call it other names, but they wouldn't be nice. Congratulations, I know that is a relief. See you in Mt.

To: krnet@mylist.net Message-ID: <42C892A3.2010308@donsplans.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi. I recently purchased a KR2 project off of ebay, and picked it up this weekend. Unfortunately, I have now concluded that this KR will never fly. Looking over the log books (and photos) I have come to the conclusion that the first two builders did a good job, but the last one was a bit of a butcher. He did things like attach the canopy by drilling bolt holes through the upper longeron. His fiberglass work was unbelieveably bad - the cowl modifications to fit the revmaster engine were 3/8 inch thick in the wrong places, and terribly lumpy. But, I just couldn't tell the old man that his project would never be safe to fly, so I still bought it, looking to get my money back in parts (and maybe start my own from scratch later on). The saving grace of this all was that he had lots of parts that he didn't build, and he bought the best of everything, and he had 2 kits. So, I have a lot of stuff for sale. I thought some of the KR'ers on this site might be interested, and I hope you will pardon my signing up for the list for this purpose. (I also really like KR's, if that counts for anything. Witness that I was a "sucker" and bought the project.) As far as I can tell, I have two complete sets of the guppy landing gear if anyone is interested at all. I have a built-per-plans tailwheel and a beautiful maule fully castoring tailwheel with spring and pneumatic tire. I have all of the metal fittings built up inside the plane. I have preformed wingtips (factory new). I have an extra pre-molded turtledeck - untouched - and a cowling - untouched also. I am not sure which cowling it is. If anyone wants it, they can have the one he modified. Those customizing their cowlings heavily could probably cut out the areas he changed a lot, and make some use of the nose bowl area. I have an extra canopy frame, but it needs repair. I have basic VFR flight instruments - brand new never used - all available at reduced cost. I have a complete foam set from the mid 90's. I don't know if it is age limited at all. Finally, I have the real kicker - a zero time (test run only) Revmaster 2100 Turbocharged fuel injected engine that makes me go all weak at the knees. It really is an amazing engine. What I would really like to do is sell the engine, mount, possibly a cowl, all the accessories, all the fuel system possible, the engine instrumentation, and all the applicaple cables, etc. in one place to one person. The only thing I do NOT have is the prop. For those of you builders out there, this is a chance to be DONE with your propulsion system in one or two weekends for a fraction of the cost. Another interesting possibility would be for a builder with a boat fuselage to buy all the premade metal fittings and such in one chunk, and save a lot of time. I really have no plans to sell the fuselage, as I feel that it is not easily made airworthy. However, if you know what you are getting into, I could be pursauded to almost give it away. It still has lots of good stuff in it. I believe the wings are good, but if you are interested, you would want to do a close inspection. They have wing tanks and strobe wires in them. Oh yes, I have good WAFs. My basic benchmark on price is 50% of cost. I prefer to talk by personal email off the list, but I am now a list member, and intend to stay that way for some time, so you can also reach me by general post. Advice is welcome. Thanks all for your time, and happy building. -Don ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Sun, 3 Jul 2005 22:18:15 EDT From: BEARLKBOB@aol.com Subject: Re: KR> Sad tale...

I have little idea of the value of the items you wrote of, buy 50% is a nice number. post a number and a time to call. I am in MN, not prohibatively far. 763-441-0538. I have several teen/ young adults at home, so reaching me might be hard. I am up in the AM at 5:30 most mornings and am usually around untill 8.

I've > checked the archives but nothing on thinning T-88 Patrick, I used denatured alcohol to do that with construction of some fiberglass landing gear legs for my Challenger ultralight. It was used to hold the 3 tubes (one with another) together. You might try this with some test pieces and see how they hold up to destruction.
