I had a couple small holes with my vinyl Ester resin but they are easy fixes. I know what you mean about the resin. My son had problems working with it. I didn't have any problems with it because I've been working with it for many years In the Air Force and some what got desensitized to it P

Hi Guys, Discussion of the wing stub brings up a completely different approach to the transition from wing stub to outer wing. Has anyone tried stall fences between the stub and outer wings. I searched the archive to no avail. I built an Osprey some time ago. Like the KR, it has stub wings

God thought Larry... I will look into how to do that but in the meantime I swaged one with the other tool that I got from AS which incidentally covers the whole sleeve and compresses the whole thing. That is actually probably better than two individual crimps on one sleeve. These crimps look ex

I posted the HAPI instructions for that ignition to the VW Conversions user group some years ago. The documentation may help you. I think HAP!'s problems with the crankshafts got in the way of their ignition becoming popular. Magneto's were relatively cheaper then too. I ran a HAPI secondary
