KR> Carb temp sensor
Where would you place the carb temp sensor (type K) in an MA-3SPA carb? I notice a lead plugged orifice in the main body (bowl) just under the Venturi and another whole in the throttle place assembly just under the throttle plate. I assume I must melt the lead out and should find a threaded hole for the sensor. Ideas/opinions? Thanks Rodger

Yep. I think that's known as finishing tissue, it's not a cloth or a weave and you could hardly call it a matt but that what it is. So thin however you can see clean through it. I used a strip of light cloth about 6" wide along my ply joins, tissue over the top throughout and just a little filler to feather it all in. Finished like glass after painting. Obviously a bit heavier but the tissue uses next to no resin.

I have always called it deck cloth and use it over all my glass surfaces. My Panther Building Documentation at PantherBuilder Web Site Daniel R. Heath -?Lexington, SC -Original Message- Yep.

KR> Ken Atkinson's English KR2S website
The problem noted with the canopy handle sounded a little picky at first but it was the first indication that my KR might have a similar problem.For years I had flown my KR with a canopy handle that protruded about an inch and 2 inches long in the slipstream.Never noticed any problem until I read the article.For years I had a tricky landing anomoly.When I lowered the tail it wanted to turn to the left or right and I just expected it and got used to it thinking it was xwind or a burble.Decided to try something,removed the handle from the side of the canopy.Landing anomoly gone.The vortex caused by the change in angle of attach was pushing the rudder and creating an unstable condition in yaw.Thanks to the information Willie and Mark made available my plane is much easier and safer to operate.Thank you KRnet.Tommy W.

Take a look at Tony Bingelis's books. In one of them (either the Sportplane Builder or Sportplane Construction Techniques), he discusses protecting wooden planes with an extremely light fiberglass that winds up hardly heavier than several coats of paint.
