Everyone at Mt.Vernon is pumped for our arrival. Several nice additions since 2009 are an outdoor patio at the restaurant and a new 11,800 square foot hangar with two full baths for the campers. Chris is wrapping up the national light sport expo today and then he starts getting ready for us next weekend.

KR> Re: rain water on my fusalage floor
I need some advice on how to take care of rain water on my fuslage floor. Thanks for all the feedback about my wet floor. By last evening the najority of the wet floor had dried already from the wind blowing across it all day. - Original Message - From: "Tony Wright" To: "KRnet" Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2011 2:33:19 PM Subject: Re: KR> Re: rain water on my fusalage floor I would not use any heat!!! Air dry only. You do not want to remove the natural moisture of the wood, as this will cause fibers to shrink too much. Air movement is a good thing to help it dry out, properly. My guess is that all will be fine as long as the water is removed and the boat is naturally allowed to dry. Good luck.

I purchased John Godwins KR2S project in South Carolina last Wednesday and had to travel back to New York through the hurricane rain storms. Unfortunataely i took on some rain water last night driving through Pensylvania.

I think if i blow dry it with a heat gun it might warp and delaminate. any suggestions appreciated, Joe Same thing happened to me a few years ago. Wound up with about 5/8" of water in each bay on the fuselage floor. Prior to that I had painted the inside of the fuselage with thinned epoxy. So, I was able to mop up the water with a sponge and rags. The outside plywood had not been painted. The bare mahogany showed some water stain but no warpage after air drying. The aircraft grade plywood has waterproof glue. Most epoxy glues are also waterproof, but the uncoated lumber can soak up the water and cause issues with uneven expansion and then contraction when it dries out. Use great care with the heat gun: you might overheat the glue joints and soften the epoxy. That could do more damage than water soaking. Recommend you wipe up the visible water soon as possible. Then air dry with with lots of ventilation with a fan or two.

KR> Mixture Meter Presentation 2011
I had planned to present the Mixture Meter forum at the Gathering. This is similar to the presentations I have done at Oshkosh and at the Gathering for the last two years. I have updated the presentation with new sources for the equipment and new technology. These systems are steadily changing and improving as vendors scramble to get market share. I do not sell anything mentioned in the presentation. I just want KR builders and pilots to get the best performance possible. I will be unable to attend the Gathering this year. Larry Flesner advised me to put this on the KRnet. So, if you send me an email, I will send you a copy of my PowerPoint presentation. It's free and I shall not share your email address with anyone.
