With the help of friends, My girl is tucked in to her new home at ASN, 
Talladega, Al. Also while looking at the Gathering attendee list, I read the 
name Max Power, Is this the coolest name ever or what ? We need name tags, I've 
got to meet this guy. Maybe over a root beer.

Man, I'm thinking 220 wet, a good rubber sanding block, and a bucket of water 
are going to be your best friends for a while. :o)? Yep.? You're gonna hate 
sanding after working that stuff out.  We'll let you sing a solo after this.

Ok Guys, I have taken the week off to sand the primer and paint the plane. Let 
me start by saying that something I thought was a good thing in the past has 
come back to bite me. In the building process as I finished a part of the plane 
I would prime it by rolling on 2 part epoxy high fill primer, yes I said, roll 
it on with little foam rollers. This leaves a slight orange peel texture and 
this stuff is killer to sand down to smooth. What I thought I could do in two 
days is going to take all week. I hope we sing the sanding song at the 
gathering because I am definitely earning the right to sing it, Hell, I might 
even lead the thing.

Mike I have used MEK in the past to smooth out orange peel in the past on
small parts. Never on the entire project. It works well and does not effect
the strength of any work under it. Rick
PS if you do this make sure it is well vented.

I've gotten work some work done on my KR2S during the winter and I will be  
getting it back out to the airport this weekend (weather permitting). I painted 
 her and added lights so I can operate at night. Paint was just a gloss white 
 boat enamel. I painted her using a harbor freight air sprayer and borrowed  
air compressor from the EAA chapter. I did not get the wheel pants/fairings  
done as I had planned for this winter. Problem is I keep reading the  flying 
reports from everyone and decided I just have to get back up in the  air.

Also since it is Friday. A friend at the chapter here in Kansas City has a  
Zenith 701 project for sale for $24K. It is almost finished with maybe  6 
months of work left in it. If your looking for a project that would  not 
require a 
lot of time to finish it up this would be a good one. It comes  with the Rotax 
912 engine and his logs are complete so it should be no problem  paperwork 
wise.  If your interested, send me an email and I'll give you his  contact 
information.

Just a little note to let you all know what's up. Yesterday I finshed cutting 
the tubing for my rudder peddles and will take them to work and have them 
welded. Today I finished taking the motor apart all the insides look good. STD. 
pistons, STD bearings. Will take the crank in and have it checked but it looks 
good. Now to get the valves apart and have the heads and case cleaned. Slowly 
heading forward.

Hi Guys,
Gz, Am I sick of sanding. The ailerons are done and ready to paint.
The wings need once more over on the tops only and then ready to paint. I
laid up the top of my cowl out of carbon fiber today in a mold I took off
from a RR cowl but I extended it 2". The bottom will be latter this week.
I weighed every thing last week and will be around 715#. A lot more than
I thought but no changing it now. I hope to have the plane back together
by the end of the month.
I stopped in at an Auto Zone today. They have the LED light bulbs like
Mark Jones is using for a tail light. $7.99 They have red and white in
stock in the hip hop car section.

The LED bulbs for autos are very directional.  Make sure you are getting
the coverage area to the sides of center that is required.  I believe the 
RV builder that is selling LED bulb kits did a computer model or something
to determine the angle of each element to get the required coverage.

If you make sure you get the NEW STYLE wide angle design, you will get full
brightness of 120° and ability to see the light through a full 180°. Past
180°, you can see the light but it is not bright. I have my tail light
installed and have tested these degrees and I am very satisfied with the
rudder tail light. I am still debating whether to use on wing tips or not. I
have found the red in WIDE ANGLE design but not green.

Mark -- I didn't buy any of the bulbs at Auto  Zone , I just happened to
see them there. But thanks for I wasn't thinking either.
I pulled my top cowl out of the mold tonight. It didn't turn out perfect
but I'm happy with it. The carbon fiber sure is pretty. As it came out of
the mold it weighs about 1 1/2 lbs. I may take it to work tomorrow so I
can drive by the hanger to try it on for size. :-)-- Thanks - Joe
