Per my Revmaster manual, the basic oil sump is 3.5 quarts. Add an oil filer and
you need 4 quarts. Add a oil cooler and you need 4.5 quarts. Hope this helps. I

going through the valve
cover. It is actually far better than how Revmaster does it with the bottom
spark plug access through the valve cover.
Sorry, I don't have a spare set laying around. I trashed my old set, they were
used up.

Jim,
I used fiberfrax overlaided with aluminum sheet for my firewall. The
thickness of the fiberfrax is not important. It is still rated for 2300 deg
F regardless of thickness.
I have not heard of Isofrax paper.

John,
Looks like Wicks still sells the 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 that is called for in the plans.

got the same results when I went from
54x50 to 54x54.
I run Marvel Mystery oil in the fuel and add some to the oil to help keep
"lead" buildup down, and only run unleaded mogas (no ethanol) in the winter.
It seems to help keeping the engine cleaner.
Thanks,

I do remember this happened regularly with Aeropoxy during my wing
construction. It eventually lost it's tackiness, but it sure was annoying.
I have pretty much switched to West Systems since and haven't had any issues
with it.

I weighed mine as Larry indicated with just one home bathroom scale. It does
take more time, but doesn't cost any extra. I leveled the airplane at each
stage.

Sorry, I don’t think so. Most unusual I’ve seen is a turbine. Not sure how that
would work on our KRs very well.

Mike,
I could use the details when done. I am curious if you had to replace the
entire axle and remount to the gear legs. Also the specific model of the brakes
since they have so many options.
Thanks,

I would stay away from the MGL V6. I have one in my KR2S, but it is not great.
I was very difficult to get the radio to work with my existing antenna. I had
to build up a pretty big ground plane to make it work, so I do not recommend
it. My original ICOM A4 hand held was better.

Pete,
I am using just regular AN bolts with castle nuts - safety wired.

Richard,
Not sure I agree with your assessment of West Systems. See there web site
at;
https://www.westsystem.com/
I have used it with cotton flox for structural gluing. And with micro for
non-structural. It is used extensive in boat building for all purposes.

Mark,
Both will work fine. I think that Aeropoxy was just a little less
expensive. It also takes longer to cure/harden which isn't a bad thing when
doing such a large layup as a wing skin.

Made it home to Lees Summit MO flying along with Griff Picket in his C172 no
issues. Cool and smooth air, a little hazy skies, and just a tiny bit of
tailwind.
Great to see everyone again! See you all again next year at Mount Vernon and
I'm sure I'll see some of you at Oshkosh as
N1852Z arrived at 6:20 pm as well. Fun has begun.

If you go stealth mode in a KR (no transponder) they might not even see us on
radar!
