I don't know if this has been shown on the KRnet or not. I saw this ad in the 'Classified' section of Kitplanes. Some prospective buyers may not be members of Kitplanes and won't have access to it so the advertisement reads: KR2 S for sale,2180 Great Plains (reverse engine)

Look in the engine bilge of most larger boats and you will find a self energizing halon extinguisher aboard...maybe two of them. I am curious if these cylinders are good/recognized for aircraft use. Some are large due to the volume of the installed engine(s) Most are small, weighing a couple of

This is a ?ask for info? message due to the possibility of weather forcing us out of flying to Osh this year. If we get weathered out, the only other option is (ugh) driving. With a 2 man tent and my car, what is the best place to camp at Osh that won?t be way out there or in the low country?

Brian et al I use West System on most of my projects exclusively, as they are marine related and the boat store is a 1 mile away. However, what you state about the West is true and now that the Canadian Aircraft Spruce is only a 1/2 hour away I will try some EZ and T-88. How do you
