Mick, I am one of the recipients of your work. I used FPL 16A for my entire project. 276 hours on the KR and it's still flying. I did not find the 10:1 mix ratio to be a problem. I put 5 spoons full of part one in to as many small baby food jars as needed and then added 1/2 spoon of part two when I needed an additional amount. All test pieces broke wood. I haven't tried breaking the KR yet but I'm sure the joints are just as good. :-) Thanks for the many hours of AWESOME flying !!!!!!!!!111 Larry Flesner
