Thanks Mark. That question Was a little premature. I was thrown by the fact that they sent me material for the verticals that was too small (which I had to reorder) and the vagueness of the plans. Makes sense now. Had an issue with which way the laminate was supposed to go and the size stock the

Matt, I ordered mine from Great Plains Aircraft (GPASC) back in 1998 for $54.95 for the kit. Contact then and ask for the 5/8" Pre Welded Axle Kit. Good Luck, Mark Jones (N886MJ) Dunedin, FL Mark Jones (N886MJ) Dunedin, FL flykr2s at gmail.com www.flykr2s.com On Wed, Jun 22, 2016 at 6:23 PM, Ma

Hey all, I?m working on swapping my original retractable gear for Diehl gear, and I?m hoping to reuse the 5? Azusa wheels. Only problem is, I can?t seem to find an axle for them. Is there a source for 5/8? axles that will mount to the Diehl lower bracket, or do I have to get the O?Brien axle set

The question was if anyone used micro in high build primer. I don't see an answer to that only other solutions to paint. My answer: I have used Micro in high build primer. It is worth a try. If you use too much it makes the paint soft for a long time. I think if you work with the right mix, wh

I used Smooth Prime put on with a roller when I repainted mine and I really liked it. Only comment I have on it is to make sure you vacuum or blow off the surface after sanding before you put on another coat of primer or the final paint. You can get some small bubbles in it and when you sand off
