Is there any kits out there that add a supercharger to a VW 2180? I called the company last week, they still choose to claim 180mph. Is there any PLANS-BUILT KR2 hitting the 180 mark? Evereyone seems to want to stretch the fuselage even more and make ti wider etc.. which will make the aircraft slower without doubt. 180 solo and 160 gross would be just fine for me. I see alot of people only getting in the 130 range, not ideal. I want to be able to do 140KTS cruise burning less than 4GPH.

This network. Just read, listen calculate, and give attention to conservative limits. A critical evaluation about any engine is, if you make it too hot and you run too hard if you are going to stress it. It will malfunction. We used to race Formula V cars, powered by 1960s vintage VW engines. Those we hopped too high had to be torn down after every race weekend. We did this to look for stress points and so we would not need to drop out of the next race. In a KR you are not going to pull off the track. I suppose talking about the speed you want you are probably expecting to run a throttle setting that would be hard on the engine and would also make it consume fuel > your GPH estimate! Read the specs for Van's RV line and lbs and HP or engine size ratios vs speed. The best plane for speed is the little single seat model. Less; weight, resistance, related to engine size etc. As the people say build it light! Do not try to make a VW engine into Packard RR Merlin. You soup a VW too much you'll spend your free time rebuilding the engine not flying your plane! jim wogaman cleo :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Justin To: Sent: October 16, 2002 6:36 PM Subject: Fw: KR> Re: any flying KR2S > The KR2S on the webpage has a TURBO-charged revmaster engine.

Not fast. They have a huge engine and are only about 20mph faster then a KR. I will take efecenty and cheap building costs before spending close to double for only 20mph and higher operating costs.. I still love the RV7 but just highly expensive. Richard Shirley belongs to my EAA 96 chapter here in LA and his KR is the nicest little thing I have ever seen. He is an awsome pilot and I know he gets great speed with that thing. I hope I can do what the factory claims, plans built KR2S on the way.

It is easy to use and works good. I ordered another gallon a few weeks ago and I noticed that it is not in the new Aircraft Spruce catalog. They still had it in stock and the girl who took my order didn't know if it was being discontinued or just got left out of the catalog. BTW, I will have about a half gallon to sell in the next few weeks if there is anyone in the Jax, FL area that wants to come get it. I could ship it, but that is a pain in the neck. clappw@bellsouth.net wrote: >I read something in the past about a good primer to use - it may have been called Smooth prime or smooth fill or something like that - any info?

You are not the usual adult male in weight. Airlines used to estimate adult passengers, M & F, at 140. Today probably a more accurate weight for adult males would be some place between 160-175 lbs. If your talking about hauling 2 your placing your payload @140 for you and another male 160, =300 lbs. This is a tiny airplane. Weight and balance is probably very sensitive. It would be interesting to tally the weights of all the net readers and determine the mean. This is in no way reflecting on those of us that are much too overweight, like me! jim wogaman cleo :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Justin To: Sent: October 16, 2002 7:44 PM Subject: Fw: KR> Justin will sell at 130! > I am 140lbs and 5'8.
