I saw Larry Flesner's kr and was reading the particulars it says: O-200 engine then it says: HAPI mount. Question is this, a HAPI mount fits an O-200? I have already purchased the steel for a mount, but hey, if I can buy one I am all for that!

Air speed is and always will be your friend without it you wont fly. The main cause of the lack of air speed is the big fan up front not performing as it should, but remember the aircraft CAN still fly without it. I am fast approaching the time where an engine needs to be installed (I am leaning toward the corvair). The one thing I learned from the accident reports is that the engine installation should be done right. Spend some time, plenty of money and good dose of common sense in this area and if all else fails keep flying as far into the crash as far as possible.

I was searching the web and thought I would see how my old friends in the KR family are doing.....I don't know what precipitated Monte's actions regarding the Newsletter but what I will tell you is how hurtful it is to read so many words of hate. One person wrote how the KR family owes Monte nothing ....If the person was talking about me, he would be right....I never did anything but edit other peoples contributions (and sometimes I didn't even do that very well). But Monte is a different story. Monte has done more for me and the advancement of KR knowledge than anyone I know and I will always be indebted to him. I hope you will stop the words of hate and join me in thanking Monte for all he has done. One person said Monte is one of our family.....That is so true, the KR builders are the greatest family in aviation and I will always be proud to have been a member.

I have been asked amount many things to supply , where the thrust line is?<< It depends on where you look and who you ask, and what engine you're using. I don't remember having seen it in the plans either, but if you look closely at the side view of the 11x17 drawing that's included with the plans, the thrust line appears to be in line with the top of the longeron. If you're going to use a VW (and I think you are!), the cowlings made for them are set up for the thrustline in line with the top longeron, which in itself answers the question, I suppose. If you're using a Corvair and put it there, you'll have a funny looking cowling (kinda like Les Palmer's new Subaru/redrive cowling). My Corvair's thrustline is down about 2.38" below the top longeron, which is probably more appropriate anyway since I have wing tanks and no header tank. I do remember at least one place in an old Newsletter where the "official" thrustline was given as 2.38" below also, for whatever reason. Mine's there because that's what it took to clear the mechanical fuel pump by a sixteenth inch...

Thanks I'll find those drawings. It has an engine mount on now, it is a revmaster or aeropower, I'm not sure which. But it does seem to be about 2" below the longerons. Question: Does the crank on a front direct drive Vw come out in the middle of the rubber mounts. ie. If I drew cross lines on the rubber mounts, should this line up with the prop flange ?? It does not seem to.

Jim Vance@ClaflinWildcats.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++= Netters, To reply to someone "OFF LINE", click on "reply" on your tool bar and not "reply all". You should see only one e-mail address in the TO: line and not several as when you click "reply all". This should be the senders personal e-mail address. Take a minute and see the difference without actually sending an e-mail. Your fellow netters will appreciate it, I'm sure. Larry Flesner ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 07:32:13 -0500 To: krnet@mailinglists.org From: larry flesner Subject: HAPI engine mount Message-Id: <3.0.6.32.20020723073213.00854550@mail.midwest.net> Question is this, a HAPI >mount fits an O-200? I have already purchased the steel for a mount, but >hey, if I can buy one I am all for that! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mike and Netters, I was told by Marty Roberts that the HAPI mount fits the 0-200 so I'm assuming that is what I have as my VW mount fits my 0-200. This mount will be "few" inches shorter than the 0-200 mount sold by Rand. ( I'm going on "hear-say info on this as I've never seen one) I set my mount on one inch round alum spacers to move the engine forward a bit to help with the C.G. I'm thinking Marty did the same thing but it has been a while since I've seen his set-up. Maybe someone with a "known" HAPI mount could post the hole spacing for you.

I enjoyed the Newsletter when you published it, I enjoyed it when Monte published it and I have sent my check to Larry's strange address last week. I remember being among a group who were worried that no one would take up the responsibility when Monte stepped up and offered to do it. How things change. I also understand my good friend Charles Robison's concern that we are cluttering up the 'net with our 'me-too's' on the Newsletter issue. Sorry Charles.
