KR> Canopy Gluing- Epoxy

Hi Phil. With my Zenith canopy I used the epoxy resin, some flox and carbon fiber. I scuffed a 1" band on both sides of the edges and drilled holes at regular intervals which were used to clamp the canopy into position while everything dried. http://www.kr-2s.com/images/gappage_600.jpg I

Why not drill it and screw it? use flat screws and hence easy to concel. Be very carefull drilling the canopy. If you are having to pull the sides of the canopy in to make it fit the frame a drill hole will make a weak point which can crack. Don't ask how I know. Jack Cooper Chuckey

Thanks guys, for the advice, I do understand what you are all saying, as I said before I have had NO trouble with my KR2 I'm flying now, and I made it the same way. Todd's reply is below, thanks again Todd. Merry Xmas to you all. Phil. Phil Matheson SAAA Ch 37 http://www.philskr2.50megs.com/

Everyhting that Mark said below plus i did use West Systems and there is no sign of a problem from the start. I did use very heavey sand paper like 60 grit and made sure that it was fully toothed ( no glossy areas left at all). I think that I also drilled some holes through and let flox tie

Actually, epoxy resin sticks poorly to acrylic and polycarbonate plastics. Most effective applications, are both epoxy and a mechanical means to lock in the plastic. I would use protruding slugs or the very least, lock it in mechanically. Joe Cygan KR-2S Texas

Why not drill it and screw it? use flat screws and hence easy to concel. I'm not a fan of glue, my other plane's designer had came up with metal wings where the skins are glue'ed on and well I've met 2 people so far where that hasn't been all the pretty (skins actually pulling off rather easily),

Not yet, but I too have a Todd 601xl canopy so I am very interested in what he has to say. Craig www.kr2seafury.com --- On Wed, 12/22/10, phillip matheson wrote: > From: phillip matheson > Subject: KR> Canopy Gluing- Epoxy > To:

Good am. I had a kr-2 that I built to sitting on gear with engine. Some one came by and made offer I couldnt refuse. So I guess they got credit for building it.   Now I would like to buy a very nice KR-2s flying or at least at about 90%. Have a great day.  PS:   I have a very nice Musketeer

I think most people on the net would agree that the origional retractable gear were not good. Stretching is a given these days. Beyond that, the shortest way to flying is the fewest modifications. Paul OReilly KR2 Stretched N7970K Derry, NH - Original Message - From: "Mark

KR> even more progress on the gear

Craig, you are on your way. Good going. I have two comments if I may. I did build the same gear years ago and you are very close to retractable should you desire to go that route. On mine, I welded a stub shaft on the WAF and a piece of tubing on the upper end of the gear leg that slid over the
