I have been off for quite a while and will be on the net a little from time to time. I still have a lot I want to accomplish with N41768 and so will be busy with her but am going to make time for more interaction with the KR guys (and gals). I made it back from the gathering with my daughter after a two day stop in Auborn AL with Steve Phillabaum due to poor weather in Gerogia - hurricane Jeane. It was nice to have new friends that will put you up on a moments notice. I flew down to William Wynne's in Dayton Beach the following weekend for a promised jump in the ocean with my daughter since we never made it to the pool in Mt. Vernon. This week I have worked on installing my wheel pants on the plane. Hopefully they will be finished tomorrow (not painted) in time for the Thomasville Air show on Saturday. Maybe a couple Krs will show up there. I hope to be able to get photos and drawing of my tank installations available soon to all those who were so interested. I also will have a drawing of the VW emergency brake flap/speed brake handle assy for yall to copy. This is an item I can make for you as well in my shop. I will also have a trailer available toe carry KRs to and from my shop if anybody is interested in help - bodywork - paint?.... It was great to see all the enthusiasm at the Gathering - Hope it stays around all year - KEEP ON BUILDING!!

Question, what is the name of the automotive filler you used on your plane? We were discussing this and all I remember was that you said it is a step above regular bondo and very easy to apply and sand. Also what paint did you use?

I used the aeropoxy lite filler in the thicker areas (over 1/8) such as in fillets and on my front deck in front of the canopy. I then used Evercoat's Basecoat filler (red and black can) for the rest of the general filling from (0-1/8). This leaves slight blemishes and holes so I then use USC's Icing (comes in a tube) to fill these in. I used a 2K primer filler called EZ Sand - (standard automotive) for the first primer coat. I then sanded and then put on one heavy coat of U-tech epoxy primer (white). This stuff is tough as nails but sand easy once you sand through the outer "shell" You can fly with just this primer if you want. It is a true epoxy and holds the underlying bodywork together well. I then used cheap basecoat white (40.oo/gallon) and a gallon of Transtar Clearcoat. The red was a bit more work. I only put on one coat of white because of the white primer underneath and one coat of clear - it keeps the weight down. All in all not too bad. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ See KRnet list details at http://www.krnet.org/instructions.html End of KRnet Digest, Vol 346, Issue 153 *************************************** ================================== ABC Amber Outlook Converter v4.20 Trial version ==================================
