    Parts For Sale VW 1835 complete engine

    I have a 56 X 52 prop for a VW hub, 6 bolt pattern. I'll measure the size and post it. It's not part of this auction, so I'll post separately later. Right now, I just want to sell this engine.

    Parts For Sale VW 1835 complete engine

    Better to have it in your hangar than mine! According to Denny at Liberty Landing, this 1835 would be perfect for that airframe. I just read a posting in the KR Forum about an engine for sale in the deep Missouri Ozarks for $7K, though it is a 2180. Denny flew to LXT a few times to show us...

    Radio Interference with new LED Landing lights

    I replaced my incandenscent GE bulbs with LEDs and they cause a buzz in the headphones when on. I think I heard that it was a simple fix, with only a resistor needed inline. Myquestion is where should the resistor go, and how much resistance should I use?

    Parts For Sale VW 1835 complete engine

    It's an Ellison throttle body, now sold/serviced by nVAero. Note that it's also located at the top of the engine, not underneath. Supposedly lowered drag produced by the nose of the airplane. Used a lot on WW2 aircraft. I thought it might increase fire probability, but because it's an Ellison...

    Hoop Gear Thoughts

    Ever consider a Grumman gear leg? It saves a lot of laminating work, and strong enough for a much heavier plane. Should be tall enough. I think they are about 24-26 inches long and raises the KR2 high enough for a 56 inch prop.

    Favorite Stripper

    When purchasing fire extinguishers for hangars, my local EAA chapter was looking at the average dry-powder extinguishers. Seemed that the baking soda in them would cause an insurance company to total the airplane, because the particles would get into all the rivet holes, seams, etc, and sand...

    I'm looking for a used 0100 Corvair Conversion Manual. Have built an aircraft VW, I just want to see how much work building a Corvair would be.. If anyone has a spare or old copy, I think that will let me know if I should buy the new manuals from them.

    Lamb undercarriage in a KR2 - seeking any info at all

    A prior owner was setting up retractable gear with this, but I will be happier with fixed gear. Do you have any additional info about the Taylor monoplane gear, Don? I'm asking because the nose gear has a spring in it, and bounces nicely. However, the mains don't give at all. Makes me think...
