Jeff,
Hopefully this pair will go the distance. I had to removed the coil from the
main core for clearance reasons since the engine is crammed as far aft as
possible. The coils are mounted on the firewall. Access to anything sucks.
Oh well. At least timing the pmags was a cinch. Back to wo
Speaking of canopy, I made one for my engine for break in purposes. By next
weekend I should be making airplane noises. Then I need to make a PAINT canopy
for the shop. Getting there.

Airport weather info can be updated at takeoff if flying high. Building is
still a priority, so XCflying is on rare occasion. You can get the forflight
app for 30 days trial. Good luck.

As an alternative, using MSG-3 methodology (maintenance program) will allow a
potential extension. I don't see MSG-3 as an option for the KR builder. Darn.

The only circuit breaker accessable to the pilot is the fuel pump. It is
located just below the throttle adjacent to the fuel pump switches. This is the
only item I have to have to stay aloft. There are three pumps (L, R, & a
common for either). I will be using Pmags, so if I have partial ele

I will be installing an O235 in my KR2S. I believe the Lycoming will be
happier in the KR2 than the C152. I have to get through the sanding, sanding,

You can cut the cable with a pair of dykes or use an abrasive wheel. Dress the
end of the housing. Don't forget when cutting the housing to length, pull the
inner cable out a ways. Gets frustrating when the inner wire is too short. Cut
the inner wire to length with the housing clamped in its
4 lbs. plus a lb for foam.

I will have to weigh the ply and foam. Another builder is adding the ply in
the cockpit and it is not glued in yet.

I am building mine the same way. Angle brackets attach the wing to the
fuselage and transfer the loads for and aft. I also added plywood skins on the
inside of the cockpit like Joe Horton did. I like the look and the sides are
much stiffer.

I plan on adding stop blocks extending aft from the firewall to the pilot side
pedals for those moments when reaction happens faster than rational thought.
This will add literally zero pounds.

I am staring at a dynafocal engine mount ring that is missing the legs to the
airframe. It does kill some time. I had an aha moment and decided to build
the engine mount before the building up the engine. An aluminum case is much
lighter without the steel inside.

I made my wing skins using 1/2 inch divinycell as the core. I had to cut score
marks and make a caul plate to glass the inside on a curve. My wing is one
piece and each side had a contour rib midway out as well as on each end. This
stuff does not sand easily, but end result is superior to ur

Bring it on. This would be good timing for me. I hope to paint next year. A

I just laid up the fiberglass on the vert. stab. and rudder this week. New
instrument panels do help keep the fire roaring. I will get a better look at
it in Oct.

As an alternative, you can bore the five mounting holes and the probe hole and
use a sealed nut ring on the inside of the tank. I made the ring out of scrap
aluminum and riveted domed nut-plates to the ring and then epoxied the ring to
the tank. The hole pattern may be similar to what cessna
Cherry rivets are structurally a substitute for solid rivets. I don't think
you will have any corrosion issues with monel rivets as monel is corrosion
resistant and is used in aircraft construction where two different metals are
joined, typically aluminum and steel.
