> Running an engine to rich does not burn valves.
Well, without putting too much of a point on it, you're quite wrong.
Running rich not only creates deposits that get lodged between the valve
faces and seats and allow the combustion gasses to blow through and burn
the metal, but these deposits

LOL thanks, I have so many custom changes to my BD plane that anyone
experenced with the model will note them real fast LOL.
I've been wanting to do a fly by wire design too, would be super easy, but
I've been stuck on how to do the backup stick for manual control if
something was to happen to the
excellent experimental philosophy...! LOL !

Is the goal here to make alumn tanks?
I did that for my BD4 but, I had made a cardboard mockup of the tank that
fits in the hole and gave it to a shop and said MAKE IT REAL, they made it
real alright LOL.
Next time I'm going to use that foam stuff and place a big bag in the area

John,
Yes, all that I have read and seen about gas welding aluminum indicates that
finessing the flame is key. The only way to learn it is by doing and getting
the feel. I look forward to the challenge.

With great respect, I am going to agree and disagree. I also had an 0-200 in my

previous. As far as Corvairs being 50 year old technology yes the block is

Hi Craig,
Welding aluminum with gas is about the same as using a TIG.
With gas you will also need flux. Aluminum welding takes lots of practice.
I would suggest you pickup some stock that is thinner than what you
will be using to build the tank and practice. Heat control is the road to
success.
Be nice to get to miami with fuel to spare which is 500 miles.
I agree on flying, right now the plane needs some fixing but I don't want to
do anything major to it right now, all the insides were taken out, so I have
to rewire the pannel as well as put everything back inside and bolt on the
motor
I bought a new one a few years ago and never had enough need for it to take
the time to learn how to use it. If you are interested and I can make sure I
have everything in the case I will make a real deal on it.

My Name is Joe Fuentes,
I'm planning on buying a KR2 and will probably finish the transaction I've

which is what I'm looking for. The plane I'm looking at only has the
standard 13-15gal header tank. It also ha
Tig is nice but the equipment to do it is expensive so I would have to pay to
all my parts made. With gas I have all the equipment and as I build I can make
changes or totally redesign a part as necessary.

Larry, I was looking to purchase a KR2S , stock built for sale in Florida. The
builder used piano hinge on the rudder and elevator which I thought is
substandard and required replacing.
I'm looking for one to fly right now while I build on my own project.

Hi Steve and Pete
Just wondering where you got this 5 hinge requirement from? It may have
applied under the old Australian ABAA (Amateur Built Aircraft Approval) but
I don't recall it. In any case the ABAA is now obsolete and replaced by
Experimental. Under the latter, provided you can convince
