Lots of questions in this post and I'll try to answer to them over the next few days. The KR in question is the one with pictures on the krnet site under my name. N number 211LF. First flight was on December 12 and I got four flights in before sending the prop back for a re-pitch. During the downtime I put all new parts on the induction system and chased some other minor details. I also developed a leak in my left wing tank that took me several attempts to eliminate. I finally took the wing home, cut open the bottom side, removed the foam, cut out the bottom of the tank, re-sealed the tank, replaced the bottom, repaired the wing, and got it flying again on Feburary 13. I now have 14.3 hours on the hour meter. A tip from "been there - done that". I'm using a handheld radio and I have it wired to aircraft power. I got in the habit of not shuting it off for engine shutdown and startup. Yesterday I "cooked" it ! That's going to be a $200 to $300 dollor mistake. Larry Flesner
