Jeff: interesting about the fuel-soaking tests that you've been running. I've been using "EZ Turn Fuellube" on my threaded fuel system fittings rather than any sort of pipe dope or Teflon tape, but then again I've got a gravity fuel system on my Piet... very low pressures in the system. EZ Tur

Jeff, I am curious. You refer to pipe dope several times but I am not sure which pipe dope you are referring to. Is it standard plumbers pipe dope ? Is it teflon based pipe dope ? Or is it some other pipe dope compound ? Im sure you know that there is pipe dope for water, pipe dope for gas and v

My guess is that the tail lifted because the thrust of the prop pulled the airplane to the extent of the tiedown rope, which was attached to a trailer hitch, not down at ground level. I once came within about an inch of a similar prop strike due to this same tiedown configuration. FWIW Chris

Not too quiet. After not going to the airport in some time, my battery was down so I prop started my KRII. Of course I tied the tail, but this time it was easiest to tie it to the trailer hitch on the Subaru. WARNING! Don't do this. When she came to life, her tail lifted and ground down my pretty w

Has anybody ever tried using vinylester resin to fasten a layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil to the inside of the tank.? Then as far as the gasoline is concerned, you'd essentially have an aluminum tank, and if you had a lot of overlap on the seams, the gas would never get near the fiberglass at al

Hi Jeff... regarding the quiet KRnet I agree but you hit it right on the nose. I have been busy finishing the brake assemblies, wiring my instrument panel and rigging the control cables. I will be installing the firewall and getting the engine mounted over the Christmas and New Years holidays.
