Just watched the video and even got the wife to listen to the building song from a woman's point of view. She loved it. It fit her to a tee. It was also good to see old friends. Thanks Video Bob. Mike Sylvester kr2s builder Birmingham,AL. Cell no.205-966-3854 F

I found my solution. It's not on the market in the U.S. yet - rumor has it the FAA will have approved it by Sun & Fun . . . but surely by the end of this year?. The FAA is going to look pretty stupid if they don't. It's already approved by the CAA in the UK and EASA will soon follow and those ag

Most of the heat related failures I’m aware of on plastic brake lines were on Varieze, Longeze types or other types that rely on Brake steering. Usually guys doing high speed taxi tests over and over. In quite a few instances the brake area got hot enough to soften the resin in the bottom of the

This is NSR tubing rated for 2120 lb burst pressure with a wall thickness of .050 and recommended for use with hydraulic brake lines. It has a minimum bend radius of one inch. It is also rated for flexural fatigue
