Well, how about Tom Crawford's award-winning KR, Two Tango Charlie? It won "best auto engine conversion" or something like that at Sun 'N' Fun a few years ago, truly an exemplary Type 4 installation and a very nice KR. I believe there are photos (where else)- on Mark Langford's site.

It saves a lot of fill on the KR cloth and works best when applied while the KR cloth is still "wet". Tony Bingiles discusses using this material over wood in one of his books and recommended it highly. Your results may vary!

This is established good practice for aircraft, easy to do, and is so much easier to do than it is to repair grain checked older plywood. I've done both.

Varnish. The only place varnish should be used in modern aircraft building is over epoxy sealed wood that is going to be left natural ("bright" in boatbuilder's terminolgy) and will be exposed to sunlight. The varnish protects the clear epoxy from ultraviolet light. Every other place where varnish was formerly used should instead be protected with epoxy. The epoxy is a much better sealer and allows parts to be epoxy glued after sealing. 2. Vinylester resins. These resins are "prepromoted" at the time of purchase and then are cured with MEKP when used. The problem is that the promoted resins have a short shelf life, after which they will not cure no matter how much MEKP you use. Mike Bundy, the guy that does the tooling and production runs for the certified stuff I produce, tells me that VE resins are prepromoted with cobalt drier and that additional cobalt can be added to "past date" VE resins. He didn't have any ratio figures, but says that a couple of experimental samples should give the correct numbers.

The wheels that came off it (I believe) are Matco with 5/8" axles. Thinking that I could utilize the existing tires and brakes, I bought a pair of Grove axles (P/N 5010) that are suitable for aircraft up to 1,050 lbs gross weight. With the KR2's stated gross weight of 960 lbs, they should be fine. However, I've got a nagging voice telling me that I aught to install axles that are heavier duty - Grove has a graciously offered to exchange the axles for others, should I choose (the epitome of the no-hassle return policy).
