Thank you, Paul--I did appreciate your initial response below but was
not sure from it whether you were specifically addressing my particular
question about vinylester and isopropyl. I knew that I could use
thinners with micro in the way you described but wanted to be aware if
there were any b
Thank you very much, Jeff and Jon--
I'm sorry for the earlier unnecessarily general reaction. Only one
response surprised me and I'm embarrassed that I let it bother me. This
group has been nothing but helpful and encouraging to me for the past
three years.
Jeff, thank you for all that you sh
Yes, thanks, there are many warnings--it is evil stuff. I use 1-2 CCs
of it for each 8 oz. of Vinyl Ester resin and the reaction actually
raises the temperature of my garage while it sets. I've started doing
my layups early in the morning so I can leave it all outside in the sun
and open air
Thanks--just wanted to know if MEK or Isopropyl alcohol (or any such
thinners) can be used specifically with Vinyl Ester which uses MEKP as
the catalyst. I know the thinners can be used with Aeropoxy but this
Vinyl Ester stuff is definitely different to work with so I wondered if
there were ch
Hi All,
I've read about the trick of mixing a little isopropyl alcohol with dry
micro in order to make application easier. Will I be able to mix
isopropyl with Vinyl Ester based dry micro as I smooth my front deck out
or is this a bad combo? Thanks for any suggestions...

I looked at control pulleys at Wicks and AS today for the first time.
I'd appreciate a little guidance--
They both sell 2 types: phenolic and polyethylene.
The phenolic AN 210 pulleys called for in the KR plans are nice and

I found a lot of Diehl gear posts in the archives, but none with the

If someone has those, or could measure them, I'd appreciate it!

Thank you all, for your replies. The home-made powder coating setup is
intriguing, but I think I'll keep it simple and go as follows:

Hi All,
I'm getting close to inserting the spars into the fuselage.
In the manual, page 28, it says "Check that the spars properly fit

When all checks are satisfactory, epoxy in position. Fit, glue and

Hello All,
Next month I'll start cutting wing spars for a KR2S, and now I'm doing
my usual last-minute dithering between different options when I have to
make important decisions. I'll have enough wood to construct 5048-15
airfoil spars.
Since I might ultimately go with a smaller engine, I'm
