I also build R/C planes and the hobby shops sell sandpaper on the roll for
about 5 -7$ It has a sticky back and you can stick it to almost anything, angle
iron/aluminum, edge of 2 X 4, etc. worked great for me.

As my kids would say,(text?), ROFLMAO, I too have a Piet Oscar, love it,
one of my favorites, er next to the KR that is. I have started a similar
list for my KR build as well as my BD-5 build. Great idea all around.

Hey guys, what is
WOW, some serious mileage on the topic! I have de-bonded and re-bonded the
wing skins on a Grumman Cheetah, very cool system very similar to hot melt
glue, Aluminum bonding is not black magic, and can be easily learned like
any other process, ( wet lay-up on foam?:)LOL ), it all comes down to
Just downloaded Fltplan during lunch break. H seems pretty good. Lots of

One thing I did notice is that not all software has Canadian maps eh. A
small problem for those of us on this side of the border. Anyone have a
recommendation on which is best for use in Canada? ADSB is of no use either

Hi Gary, Many years ago a friend of mine acquired,(in a trade), a "stock" KR
with trike gear and wood wings and turtle decks, even the canopy frame was
wood. As I recall the builder, (completely unknown to me), used about a
3/32" or 3mm birch plywood, over wood ribs, bulkheads, stringers, etc. He
Just remembered this one, did it years ago on a special project. Use any
core you wish for front and back half of wing, and last a foam in the center
area. Cover the spars with a releasable covering, (please don't laugh, but
duct tape works really well for this!), lay up the whole wing as per
I would not lose one second of sleep, or give this guy one moments thought.
The internet is full of uneducated idiots who will spout off senseless
verbiage. It is very clear that this individual knows very little about

Very nice Dan! I have been keeping an eye on this little bird for some time,

I have been using Yahoo groups for years, has always been a royal pain.
Nearly impossible to sign in , they change their protocols and lock you out,
they only want to pound the advertising into your face by forcing you into

I owned my ercoupe for quite a number of years and put hundreds of hours in it.
The limited elevator was but apart of it. The controls were another very big

COOL! Thanks guys, some very useful information. I'm a bit of a minimalist,
however, safety, reasonable upgrades and modifications will all add-up. I
will now have to make my list, and live with the results.

781 lbs! is that not a bit on the heavy side? What do other planes
"typically" come in at? The spread sheet on the net is a bit dated and not
very complete. Not criticizing, just curious.

Hi guys, I don't say much but here is my two cents worth. Brian, this flying
thing is a serious endeavor and fraught with pitfalls. Best not to cause
yourself more grief than needed. This little bird is a very frugal way to
get some good flying in, but like everything else, has limitations.
