KR> Engine Update / Roy's Fifth Bearing
Dear Mark, You have shown all of us what persistence is, as EAA says, The Can Do Spirit. I, like you, think Roy has a real winner with his 5th bearing, machining and engine building skills. I hope you will be flying consistently for many years to come with no more engine distractions. Larry H. From: Mark Jones flyk...@charter.net Mark Jones (N886MJ) Stevens Point, WI E-mail: flyk...@charter.net Web: www.flykr2s.com Ladies and Gents, Last evening was a beautiful time to go for a flight here in Wisconsin so I took to the air about 6 PM and climbed to 8,500' and played around on top of the clouds for an hour and a half. Being on top in a KR rates among the highest forms of entertainment in my play book.
KR> Re:Smooth Prime
On May 8, 2010, I posted about my Smooth Prime disaster. Since then I found that heat will soften Smooth Prime and then it can be brushed off with two or three swipes from a wire brush. I used a propane torch applied for a half second, then brush while it's still hot. I suppose a heat gun might work also. I read the directions label on the can. It said to use PolyFiber 310 Prep to clean the fiber glass. The description of 310 Prep in the Aircraft Spruce catalog is basically the same as the Metal Prep #79. These are both alkaline detergents that will clean off oil and wax. The detergent holds the wax in solution until it can be rinsed off. This action is unlike acetone, MEK and other solvents that will let some of the wax re-deposit. I had some Metal Prep #79 on hand, so I used that. The cowl and forward deck were still a little damp when I put a coat of Smooth Prime on the now bare clean fiber glass. Adhesion was excellent. Now I can get on with the painting. Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA smw...@md.metrocast.net --- Finishing a RR factory made cowl after making some mods and bumps and fitting to the firewall, I sanded off the glaze on the outside gel-coat, wiped all surfaces, inside and outside,with acetone and applied Smooth Prime. The Smooth Prime adhered to the gel-coat and the new fiberglass as advertised. The inside rough fiberglass, 23 years old, had the Smooth Prime shrinking, cracking and flaking off in small and large pieces. Some areas adhered quite well; others could be plucked off; others fell off. What's going on? Any suggestions for Smooth Prime remover? MEK, acetone, alcohol, water, paint thinner, and paint stripper have no effect on cured Smooth Prime. Sid Wood
KR> KR Gathering rooms available for reservations
Good for me. It is not the $15 so much, but having to make 2 reservations. That seems a bit silly, and they are going to get reservations screwed up, because if I had not asked questions, I would not have had my reservation the way I wanted it. Thanks, over and out. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2010 - KR Gathering in Richmond, Ky - I39 There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying has begun.

Dan, no need to "challenge" our host hotel over a couple bucks. I'm sure you got the standard response from the person at the front desk. This, I am certain, can be easily rectified on Monday when I make a call to corporate sales.
