Yes, thanks, there are many warnings--it is evil stuff. I use 1-2 CCs
of it for each 8 oz. of Vinyl Ester resin and the reaction actually
raises the temperature of my garage while it sets. I've started doing
my layups early in the morning so I can leave it all outside in the sun
and open air
I didn't mean writing to me or to the KR group about it. I meant someone
should write to Flying Magazine about it. You sound like that person if you
spin your plane and have advice on how to do it safety.
This also brings up something else I've wondered about. Why have so many
gross errors in the

Both the same.
It's 33 min, so either grab a libation when you have some time, or download
then watch as you work in the shop.

As far as the cg range is concerned, 15% to 35% Mac is probably accurate.
The problem comes with understanding what the Mac is...and from what I've
seen there aren't very many krs with the same Mac. I won't calculate mine
till I'm done but i guarantee it will be smaller than the plans.

These aren't necessarily errors...any airplane is a flying set of
compromises...you trade stability for speed...durability for lightweight.
No plane is perfect. It's up to the pilot to understand these compromises.

Be very, very careful with anything containing MEKP. It destroys eye
tissue and there isn't much you can do once you get it in your eye.

Thanks--just wanted to know if MEK or Isopropyl alcohol (or any such
thinners) can be used specifically with Vinyl Ester which uses MEKP as
the catalyst. I know the thinners can be used with Aeropoxy but this
Vinyl Ester stuff is definitely different to work with so I wondered if
there were ch
And now mek is outlawed in the air force...yet you can buy it by the gallon
at Lowes.

Yes you can thin your resin/micro. The best stuff to use is MEK. MEK substitute
is ok to use also but it takes a little longer to evaporate out.?
Something you can do is to mix a batch of micro up so thick it brakes the stick
then slowly put in some MEK to a consistency of a warm milk shake and p

The plans built KR-2 is a notoriously aft CG airplane, which is why those of us
flying KRs have been beating the drum about CG for the last 15 years or so
since the inception of the KRNet. The other thing is that no 2 KRs are built
the same. There are a host of wings, tail feathers, engines, c
