KR> Compass fluid

> "The compass fluid is triple distilled kerosene." I was hoping you had noticed Stef's query Jeff. I knew alcohol is too good a solvent and evaporates like crazy but I didn't recall just what is the best fluid. Stoddard Solvent crossed my mind a couple times but that didn't sound right either.

Re: KR> nico press sleeves

  The reason Aircraft Spruce only sells Copper and Zinc sleeves is because that's what is acceptable for aviation use. I think you will find that most aircraft use copper sleeves, which is what I have used on the aircraft I built. FWIW, I found the copper sleeves ordered from Aircraft Spruce

Re: KR> Compass fluid

 As long as it is clear enough for you to read the compass, it would work. You can buy a small bottle of clear lamp oil at most hardware stores. That is also a light kerosene and would work well. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM --- Subject: Re: KR> Compass fluid So, if I understand yo

Re: KR> Compass fluid

So, if I understand you the right way.. Remove old fluid and put kerosene in it. Can I use kerosene from a Boeing? Is that what you mean? If this is correct, I can easely get is. Stef > Op 25 april 2017 om 18:29 schreef sparksfly2ms--- via KRnet > : > > > Amen, good old kerosene. > > > >

Re: KR> Compass fluid

Hi Guys, Some while ago I missed buying Roy Marsh’s KR2S. Its moved about a bit since (perhaps to put it mildly). I think it may have popped up on a farm auction in New Zealand! Sadly, I don’t live there anymore and the cost of transporting it back would not make sense - perhaps its just an
