Surprised nobody answered these yet. 1. Yes. You need to move the landing gear brackets from the rear of the spar to the front. Glass work is not that bad to repair the holes.
2. Yes. Epoxy will dry faster when it is warmer, but you can use it cold. A heat gun to thin it out on the glass and get it to impregnate the glass better when it is real cold and a heat lamp to dry it faster helps a lot. 3. Gloves are a must, but the epoxies most of us use do not require a respirator. I recommend EZPoxy for safety, ease of use, and good performance. 4. Yes, check NVaero. 5. Again NVaero, but he is part time on the KR with a busy real job. You are better off getting your questions answered here. 6. NVaero again. For firewall forward stuff I recommend Great Plains if you go VW and William Wynn if you go Corvair. Canopies can be sourced from several places. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: KR> new member [i hope] From: Lee Wachs via KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Tue, February 03, 2015 7:11 pm To: krnet at list.krnet.org I say "i hope " because i am an eighty year old troglodyte and joining and understanding how this all works is to me, akin to flying a Lockheed Constellation solo. When i hear cut and paste i reach for the scissors and Elmers, and when default is mentioned i call the mortgage company. I'm joining to help determine if i should take on an unfinished KR2S project. I tried unsuccessfully to use/find in the archives answers that must surely be there but escape my primitive computer abilities. Please be kind to dumb animals. 1.Can a tri-gear be converted to a tailwheel and not require radical unrealistic surgery. 2.Is there a way to do all the fiberglass work in an unregulated climate/ environment. 3.Is there a safe way to do all the fiberglass work without wearing any kind of health and safety protection and having only minimum ventilation available. 4.Are there plans of recent vintage available that have required safety/structural revisions incorporated into them. 5.Is there an approved?authorized?official?acknowledged? entity to ask technical or other building questions of besides group members at large. 6.Is there a primary source/sources for model specific bits and pieces that cannot be found at common A/C supply houses such as engine mounts,gear legs,cowlings, possible pre-fabbed assemblies,fuel tank.etc. Thanks very much.
