KR> Determined to Fly

2016-11-13 Thread Mark Jones
Today I rose from sleep at just before 5AM with visions of flying my KR dancing through my head. Straight to the coffee pot and after downing a cup I headed to the airport. The drive there was one hour and fifteen minutes. Much to my dismay when I got there visibility was 1/4 mile with ceilings

Hi Ron, I'm one of the folks in the other camp.I have the wing tanks made from vinyl-ester and never a lick of trouble. The header tank is made from safety-poxy if memory is correct. (Steve Glover may correct me) It was a purchased part from RR in 2000. I put 5 gal of sunoco ultra 93 containing

Best mech design I saw was probably on Bill Claps airplane. It was a VW brake lever on the left side of the cockpit. The bottom had a rotating arm over to the center. At the center was a arm to the belly board that dropped the board. Pretty simple. Rob Schmitt Sent from my iPad > On Nov 13, 2

People on the KRNet make a fuss about using only vinyl-ester, but unless you are planning to run alcohol contaminated fuel, epoxy tanks really aren't an issue. I built my tanks with Saf-T-Poxy 20 years ago, then sloshed them with and alcohol resistant sealer. I have always run Mogas when I cou
