Re: Rotax 583 powered KR2

Hi all,

Many builders are now opting for lighter engines for the KR2. This builder opted for the BMW engine:

Nosewheel assembly wanted

For a KR2. My engine is very light and I need to move some more weight forward as a direct result. I am thus looking for a complete nosewheel assembly, including wheel, caster or steerable, that could be used on a lightweight KR2. My engine is at least 80lbs lighter than a similar powered VW, so eve...

Re: Rotax 583 powered KR2

Dankie Hans, Ek wil rerig hierdie keer nie te veel peuter nie, maar nog steeds seker maak dat ek en Monica ten minste pas. Ek is nie van plan om baie alleen te vlieg nie en verseker nie weer net al om die blok nie. Groete en dankie vir daardie enjin - was rerig 'n goeie koop gewees en ek is super te...

Re: Rotax 583 powered KR2

From a KR2 newsletter: "In an effort to improve interior living space, the aircraft uses a staggered seating arrangement. The stagger is accomplished by different back padding. One side uses little or no back padding . The two occupants do not sit shoulder to shoulder but are staggered by four to si...

Re: Rotax 583 powered KR2

Hi Hans,

Dit lyk geat! Baie mooi aerie, dis verseker!

Jy mag nou lag, maar ek oorweeg selfs iets soos hierdie. In elkgeval, het nog tyd om mooi daaroor te besin.

Groete,

Re: Rotax 583 powered KR2

Hi Jean, It will be either brilliant white or cream. I do not think anyone has more KR2 photos than me. I search for more on a daily basis. I am still looking at schemes. Will simply copy a good looking one. I really like the paint jobs on the newest Stings - maybe I'll go for something similar. I a...

Hi everyone,

I am looking for the contact detail for an AP in the Durban area who can inspect my KR2 project before I start to close her up. Can anyone help please.

Re: Rotax 583 powered KR2

Hi all, At her new home - cleaning out seven years of Rhino Park dust. Eventually found a real jewel underneath all those dust. After giving this some serious thought, apart from fitting the Rotax 582 in the place of a VW and adding a belly speed brake, I'm not going to change anything. I want to be...

This is his reply: "Now I will tell you that you have to choose very well your propeller In fact, I have a 3 blade , 64 inches warp drive prop, that the very ...

Rotax 582 powered KR2

Ha Jean, Done! I guess it's still close to my original intent. And now I have dual ignition, a proper Ebox etc. I think what I have now is much more reliable. The KR2 was originally designed for 60hp, so it should fly just fine at the lighter empty weight here at the coast. Hopefully I can register ...

Re: Rotax 583 powered KR2

Hi all, Secured her engine. It will come home with her on 29th July 2017. It is everything that I've wanted & much more reliable than the Rotax 583 originally considered. This will be one very light, very roomy KR2. And performance should not be too bad either. She will take off & land like a microl...
