Re: KR> Aeropoxy

I've used both fresh & stale AeroPoxy 2032 w/ 3660 hardner and only experienced what you describe when either temp or humidity aren't optimal. Is it cold or humid? You may want to try a heat lamp to get rid of the tackiness. Allie Palmer > On Feb 11, 2019, at 11:10, Mark Jones via KRnet wrote

KR> Weighing your airplane

After the 2018 KR Gathering, several of us went to Paul Visk's place and helped him with the job of weighing his project. I didn't ask where he got the scales but we came up with numbers we found that we could believe. So I'm picking up on a question Keven Stohlhammer asked me and I'm posting it

KR> Happy New Year!

It's been quiet on the KRNet email list lately so I hope you've all been too busy to write. 2019 brings to us more hours of flying the airworthy KRs, more hours to build and work towards finishing the airplane projects in your hangar. 2019 also will bring us back to Mt. Vernon for the KR Gatherin

KR> Separating a Fixed Forward Deck

I'm looking for a few tips on what I might run into when making a fixed forward deck removable. My existing (for sale) KR2 has a removable forward deck with a built-in 12G fuel tank. It makes accessing all the systems very easy. My new-to-me KR has the deck permanently attached to the fuselage bo
