Well, I give up. As I was pulling staples the power went out. Spent half

OK, I'll compromise. I'll go get my spar and bring it into the kitchen and
pull the staples. : )

I was asked off-line how I located where to cut the air inlets after
glassing the foam plug.
I had put holes in the foam at each corner of the prospective inlet and
filled these holes with micro during the filling and sanding of the foam.
After the fiberglass had set, the white micro spots were

Last week there was a mention on the KRnet of using alcohol to thin micro

I'm stuck at the house today due to weather. It's a perfect importunity to
go to the garage and trun on the space heater and pull some staples or
something. But when it's minus 4 deg. and it's so dang hard to get motivated

You're lucky Paul. It is minus 21 with a wind chill of minus 38 here in
Stevens Point, WI. Now get off
OK, someone nearby go poke Paul with a sharp stick to get him motivated!
I found the perfect motivation. Just move to an airpark and walk out
your front door every nice day and watch your neighbors doing 200 MPH
flybys down the runway and aerobatics just off the downwind while you
are stuck on
Hi Mark, I have seen the 2 options you describe but dislike both. The servo in
the elevator adds a little weight to the control which adversely affects
flutter susceptiblity. This meanst additional counterbalance weight which in
turn adds mass in the tail, something I'd like to avoid . The
You reminded me of something I forgot to include. The required
clearance depends a lot on the shock absorbtion arrangement also. Some
planes have very stiff legs. Some are very soft and sink quite a bit
just from added weight.
By the length of the plane I was referring to the distance forward
Hi all.
In response to Stef's comment about extending the nose gear (on a tri-cycle)
to just below take off attitude. I have done just that, but I am still a
fair distance from starting tests on the KR2S. Have lots of glassing,
sanding and painting to do, but I would also love to hear comments

I put a Ray Allen trim servo in my elevator and had no issues with it. In
fact, I have had an electric trim servo in the Black Bird since she was
born.
