Steve Bennett at Great Plains Aircraft advises: "I would rather you don't as you won't have the oil film to protect the bearings from the crankshaft as the weight will push the oil film out." So, I won't do that. I'll just have to figure out some other way to work in the interior of my KR-2 without breaking something.
Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA smw...@md.metrocast.net ------------------------------------------------ Would the 2180 VW crank shaft and prop flange sustain any damage while serving as a pivot for a fuselage rotisserie? The tail end of the fuselage would attach to the second pivot at the tail spring. Without wings being attached, the fuselage could be held at 90 degrees rotation for systems installations while I stood straight and tall. Sid Wood
