KR> High time KR's

Old Blue was the high timer - never did get a firm figure on the hours but it was over 2000. It's in the archives, what Dan arrived at. Sparky's KR built by Bob Passmore has about 1400 hours and was the first KR with DD's tricycle gear, Sparky recently told me. Also is one of the only KR's that

KR> RE: vinyester vs polyester

General purpose Polyester or GP, is not as flexable as Vinylester or VE. Epoxy is the best option, but VE will work, but I would not use GP for a tank. This information is from a guy who has made several tanks for automobiles. Lee Van Dyke - Original Message - From: To: "KR Net" S

RE: KR> Longest time?  Got the EAA newsletter tonight and wondered what kr has the most flying hours and will Mark Langford's 1000 hours be a milestone? EAA is compiling a list of 'high milage' homebuilts and maybe the KR's  can make the list. Gary

Don't know. Piper never intended for their planes to have alcohol in them. That may very well be the reason why Steve Glover says not to use it. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM On Thu, 1 Oct 2009 16:18:01 -0700 "Fred Johnson" writes: > How well will it hold up to alcohol? > > > Fred Johnson > Ren

KR> RE: vinyester vs polyester

Do not use polyester for fuel tanks. Vinylester or a good epoxy only. Even better if you coat them with the same stuff Lancair uses. It will ensure you will not have any leaks. Steve Glover --Original Message-- From: Fred Johnson Sender: krnet-boun...@mylist.net To: KR Net ReplyTo: KR N
