I think that it may be worth as much as 3500 depending on the condition of the engines or as little as 2000. I would definitely not go over 3500 on this one. I have had to repair exactly the same damage excluding the horiz stab. The extra retracts are worthless unless the buyer wants to experience the same mistakes all over again. There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for building has expired. See N64KR at http://KR-Builder.org - Then click on the pics Daniel R. Heath - Columbia, SC See you in Mt.

Wondering if I should be looking at a type 1 engine. For what I have spent in time and money on this junk yard rebuild, I could have gotten a new engine from GPASC. I am in East nor east Vermont, (it's called the North East Kingdom) and the weather is not kind! ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2004 08:03:49 -0600 From: "Oscar Zuniga" Subject: KR> flight test after mods To: krnet@mylist.net Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed My thanks to Brian and Colin for the clear, succinct replies on the flight re-testing issue.

Figure you could feather edge the tape with a razor blade edge for those worried about tape line.

A few week ago the tower reported to me that I was smoking like an old Chevy. At first I though that my rings were not yet seated well and I kept flying. Shortly after that I started to see a lot of oil on the right wheel cover and finally after I parked one day, the oil started dripping out of the exhaust pipe. Today, 61 degrees here in Michigan, I pulled the turbo. The T wheel was coated with oil and the exhaust pipe from the engine was clean. I had priced a seal and bearing kit at about 80 to $100. My bearings seemed OK. It appears that the oil seals have been blown. I went online to research and could not come up with any definitive reason. On one site the submitter of a thread stated that he had blown his oil seals, and that his car was making 50 to 60 psi oil pressure. No one would tackle his query and for the most part no one confirmed that there is a limit to the pressure that turbo oil seals can take. One respondent suggested that if 30 psi is Normal that 60 psi would blow the seals. The reason that this is important to me is that until my oil is hot, my takeoff pressure can and has reached 70 psi on my direct read gauge I have been using 10 W 40 oil and selected that because of the high temps that I experienced earlier. I now have to consider whether or which oil I should use after I replace the turbo seals. As I removed the turbo, I also got an Oh Sxxt, when I noted that the impeller has taken an impact and that it will have to be replaced. With the revflow wide open as in take off, there is nothing to stop some pretty large objects from reaching the impeller. This will cause me to make some changes, such as only using cowling air until airborne or placing some type of screen in the opening of the revflow. Someone at the gathering was using a screen for his carb opening and I can't remember who it was. If anyone knows or has suggestions, please sing out.

I also spent a year at a little place called Galena Alaska. It was 350 south of the line marking the Artic. Working on planes there was a challenge. "lost confidence in my type 4" Pat believe me when I say that I understand your frustration. I looked at an oil pump today and remembered that I had to shave the nuts on the back of the pump to get the thing to fit. Is your problem similar to this?

Whether or not I go with the Vair or Vdub, a turbo is definitely going into the mix.
