KR> FW: RE fuselage,glass or paint ?

I used 1.8 oz. Dacron sold as glider fabric back in '83. It still looks good today. No sanding at all just iron it and apply poly brush. Joe Message: 1 List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Sun, 7 Mar 2010 13:57:48 -0600 From: MICHAEL SYLVESTER Subject: KR>

My belief is simple. When one engineers an aircraft you design it to do exactly the job, anything more and it becomes too heavy to fly and of course too light it could suffer structual failure. Ken Nathan - From: "Larry Flesner" To: "KRnet" Sent:

Eric, You could put baffles in front and behind the tire to brace the sides of the wheel fairing. The baffles will also keep accumulation of dirt, mud, sand and grass debris to a minimum in the front and rear of the fairing. Best of all reasons: The baffles will limit air circulation around
