Sorry guys, need to correct this. The army does run essentially one fuel - JP8. It is a diesel fuel with a certain higher testing standard for aircraft. It can not be used in spark ignition engines. The army runs primarily JP8 in all equipment. The army has very few engines which use mogas, only small generators and leased/owned-civilian vehicles. We still need to have some Mogas for these.
My KR2-S is in final stages of sanding and finishing. Going well. I should have it at the airport for DAR inspection end of June or early July.
