Larry, I still think you have too much prop on your plane. When I had my Sterba on the O-200 cut down and pitched a little less on the M-1 my climb rate went from about 900 FPM to about 1,300 and cruies speed increased about 8 MPH. I would expect you to get very similar results on the KR.

That giant glue gun is just a T-88 Universal Cartridge from AS in a caulk gun. I tried them just the once for bonding the plywood skins onto the fuselage frame. Convenient, yes, but in my opinion over-priced and wasteful if you don't use the whole tube at a whack. -Cedric Gould N117CG Larry

Hey Guys, I just got home from CC #12. I was able to get there in m hay ghetto cruiser after a grueling 5 hr flight straight into the sun all afternoon Friday and a couple stops because I wasn't sure which I was going to run out of first (Sun light or fuel). Ed Fisher lives on a beautiful

Nor am I. I do know that T-88 has an applicator gun available which mixes the two parts during application. Perhaps it is something of that sort.. I'd be interested to know what it is too though. -Todd > ++ > > The reason I asked is that I'm not

Well, I just got back from Corvair College. I met some really good people and learned a little. Mark L. and Joe H. were there along with Dan Weisman ( don't know if I got that right ), who made one of the Fifth Bearings and flew in with his Vair powered Sonex. I spent Friday night, all day

Thanks for the reply Larry, that confirmed my idea. The glue gun and related fuselage belong to Cedric though. I'm still on paper :) -Todd On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 5:42 AM, Larry Flesner wrote: > > >Looking at construction pics and the firewalls of a few projects I see >
