I just acquired an ACK model E-01 ELT. I went with this because it is the most
inexpensive way to be legal, I'll upgrade when I begin to do some serious
flying out of the valley. My problem is the installation instructions say to

I have a KR2 that I purchased, the Matco wheels were still in the box with an
extra set of tubes. One of the wheels had been out of the box and one of the
tubes had been pinched, explaining the other set. I tried every trick on the
Matco site, and some of my own, to assemble the wheels without
Hi All,

I found it on the Dow Chemical site someplace in the Styrofoam section. It
took some time wading thru all the information. As I recall, the strength is
given in kPa or KN/m^2 or kg/mms^2 (they are all the same). 1 Pa = 0.000145
psi so 1 kPa = 0.145 psi. It's been a long time but for some rea
Foams are not all the same. The Owens Corning "Foamular" (pink) polyethylene
and Dow Chemical "Styrofoam" (blue) are extruded polyethylene foam boards that
come in several grades. Owens Corning's Foamular 150 and 250, the grade found

Netters,
I have been monitoring the chatter for some time and I have gotten a lot of
great ideas from netters. Now I have a question that I think some of you may
be able to help me with. I am not a newbie to the KR. I have #5671, book 56
