CASA repealed 101.28 some three years ago and no longer issues new ABAAs for homebuilts but they will honour old approvals. CAO 101.28 has been replaced by the "Experimental" category. Under this category you can do what you like to your aircraft so long as you are not endangering the lives or property of other people. This means you are free to experiment with different CoG, gross weight etc. However your final inspection by a CASA authorised person is likely to be heavily conditioned should you push the envelope too far. Do not fly the KR2 in the rear 2" of CoG envelope, that is 14"-16" aft of WRLE...it is dangerous. CASA actually limited CoG to 8" -12" under 101.28. Careful positioning of your engine should allow you to remain within these limits although fuel is very limited with two people. I recommend you approach the Sport Aircraft Association of Australia regarding the new legislation and about how you can transfer your registration from the old 101.28 to the new experimental. It is unlikely the Ultralight Federation will have any role because the KR2 is usually too heavy, too fast and has a too higher stall speed to trigger the ultralight legislation. Hope this helps. Please note this is Aussie stuff and might not apply elsewhere in the netters world!!

When I converted my KR from Retract to Fixed gear, I ordered the gear and plans from Rand Robinson. What comes next is an assumption. Since RR provided the material and plans/drawings for the conversion, I can't help but assume that they approve of the changes to the airframe. If this agrument is presented to your Assie Feds, perhaps they will agree. The arguement is even stronger if your aircraft is built per the RR plans.

The heads are the weak link in both these engines. 10 hours is about all I'd go on the 2180. I was always having to adjust. Overheating with the 2180 since it is thermally limited is always an issue. The 1835 is probably THE engine I'd run if I were to use a VW again. If configured conservatively they seem to perform pretty well from a durability and reliability standpoint. I was running a 2180 in my Sonerai 2. I was not impressed.

I designed and built my own gear legs. Mike built his after I did mine and I think I remember that I gave him my design data. Anyone interested can contact me off-network and I will let them know what I did.

Likewise the ridiculous rule that prohibited bringing a finished project here has been removed. If it is a plane in the US or and inspected project then it is one in Canada as well. That's what I read anyway and it works for us in the east.
