lots of mixed reviews, but I have decided to remove the washer, end of
story.
I found my Sterba prop was rubbing slightly against my cowling, since I
wanted to touch up the scratches from that I removed the prop (have a 5"
extension) and I placed a 2¼ dia washer about 1/8" thick inside the prop
bored hole, exact fit. This should allow me to project the prop out just
The wood prop already has a bored centre hole 2¼" and the whole thing
that fits quite well over the 5" extension with 6 bolts. The hole is
counter sunk about 3" deep, All the washer does is make this hole 2-7/8"
in other words the prop now remains about 1/8" from the cowling. You can

"If you look closely at that pict I posted, there is a .080 spacer on
the front side the prop extension. I see absolutely no problem with
adding a spacer like this provided it is true and does not throw you
prop tracking off."
yes Jeff that is right, maybe the word washer has thrown

other sites, far to many, I also couldn't tell you my password, but I can
tell you I enjoy this site the way it is. So my vote goes to stay here.
Well, the pressure is off, for a couple years I have been fighting with
myself over which airplane to keep upon retirement... the Cessna 150 is
more appropriate for those wanting doors to climb into the plane, and
those that just want to be a passenger in a certified aircraft.
Additionally,
what's with the kidney stone? There must be something to size, I just had
one the day before my medical (Pilot) , hospital for 6 hours, My Pilot
license medical examiner wanted to know if I had past it, and I told him
possibly, apparently the X-Ray and ultra sound show it to be very small
Mark, You da man! I felt every moment you described... I have 455 hours
on my 2-s and it impresses me each and every time I levitate her.
My C-150 just completed an engine overhaul with new spin-on oil filter,
new alternator replacing the old generator, digital volt gauge, oil sump

Ron, you are correct, in my haste to get the message out so quickly I
spelled the product wrong, it is in fact "ARMORALL", no "U" and two LL's
Insofar as Golf balls are concerned, well I don't fly golf balls, but the
Armorall cleans up the wing and the little bird fly's faster by the
way I
I have washed my KR2s then applied Armoural to the surfaces, and noticed a
considerable increase in speed, has anyone else attempted this? if so what
were your results? Now there is a lot at play here, temperature
especially, as we all find our planes fly better in cooler air. However,

Larry, exactly, well said, and allow me to buy you a drink when ever we
meet!!!
I have an Ed Sterba on mine Jim, and the harmonics are great, as you know
I have a continental 85, and spin a 60x60 , presently getting 2650 which
is pretty much bang on for the rated RPM Max for that engine which is 2585
It doesn't answer your question however for your Soob engine.
Thanks Orma, for the comparison, I have had Matco brakes for the past nine
years, 450 hours on the plane and only want to change the pads. I
notice the right pad gets more wear as that is the brake I apply the most
while taxing and yes while starting and maintaining the roll on take off

Brian, I have a video tape, the KR had 8 hours on it at the time, filmed
both from the ground looking up and from inside the KR.
I made a copy and sent it New Brunswick, another copy went out to western
Canada. I haven't seen hide or tail of them since.
In any event they are simple
My KR is constructed using the west system, so that is good news to hear
Dick Hartwig has had no problems for 25 years. Insofar as mogas use in
the continental, I plan on using av fuel occasionally to add the lead
content. We have FBO's here in Canada supplying MOGAS and I'm told it

Is there any evidence that motor gas will affect the fibre-glass fuel
tanks in our KR's? I have a continental and have always used avgas, but
with the increasing costs i am considering mogas.
