If you just want GPS and other informaiton then this unit is fine, though it won't replace your other insturments or give you IFR.

2011-01-14 Thread Patrick and Robin Russo
David S Just finished two sets of spars with Douglas Fir and 3mm ply. Main spars average 16 lbs each. Rear spars are 5.75 lbs each. It is no surprise as I expected just that, What I was reminded of though was how much easier it is to work with spruce, more flexible, less splintery, easier to han

I have wing tanks that will feed to a small header tank.  it bolts directly to the frame.  I have only just ordered Tony B's book so I haven't read anything about not doing so.  However, I do intend to bolt it directly to the frame - I feel I am too far down the road to start changing things now

What different types of Header tank hold downs are being used in the KR? Toni B. book states to use straps and do not rest the tank on the plane frame. I will have a separate removable header tank that is not connected to the forward deck. Steve Phillabaum KR2Swide Shorter, Alabama 334-740-00
