Hi Hans, 1. KR2 het beperkte dwars wind hantering vanwee die sterwiel. Dis hoekom so baie nuwe bouers vir die neuswiel opsie gaan. Ek het baie KR2 videos. In een staan die loods amper regop in die sitplek met die canopy oop om te sien waar hy taxi. Verskil in neuswiel en stertwiel gewig nie baie gro...

Re: Rotax 583 powered KR2

Hi All,

My apologies - let the cat out of the bag prematurely. Might as well start to build from scratch.

Re: Rotax 583 powered KR2

Hi Jean & Rudi, Jean, man it's hard not to let the cat out of the bag. But this time round I'll try my utmost best. Let everything materialize first. Then I'll discuss it over here. It'll be EXACTLY what I wanted. That new Cubby of yours sure is one sexy looking aircraft. Congrats with the new upgra...

Re: Rotax 583 powered KR2

Great! Find a firm close to me that does not only sell high grade saligna, but they are also cutting & planning everything to the exact sizes as specified. I can collect within three working days. I no longer have to drive my neighbours insane with all the noise... Tomorrow I'll pick up the glue. Mo...

Re: Rotax 583 powered KR2

Aha! Thank you Jean, that was all I needed to hear. Thank you so much for your feedback. Saligna it will be & I know how to look out for the best quality in these. As for the PSRU: In my humble opinion the biggest advantage would be to no longer put tension loads on the stock VW crank, even with the...

Hi Jean,

Thank you so much, I will. Won't you please mail me privately about your PSRU in stock? Also, who will give me an answer on Saligna wood?

Kind regards,
