My C.G. shifts 1 inch forward from full to empty fuel. I really can't tell any noticable difference in the way my KR handles at any fuel load other than the extra weight.

If I ever test mine it will not be voluntary!!

One sells house paint the other Automotive Paint. You want the automotive paint for your KR. Look in your Phone book there will be a local distrubutor. Go into the store they will direct you to the best system for your budget/needs. I use their comercial paint lines so I am not familiar enough with their auto paints to give much help. I do like their Sun Fire line but it is high$$$$$. Thanks Wayne ----- Original Message ----- From: lee van dyke > Hello Netters, > > I am now to the point that I need to buy some paint for my KR2. I heard that Sherwin Williams Paint is really good, and not too expensive. Does anybody know what product Name or numbers might be?? I am looking for a basic white. Any help will be greatly appreciated. > ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Tue, 4 May 2004 16:42:28 -0700 From: "John Bouyea" Subject: Re: KR> KR2S Specs - thanks To: "KRNet" Message-ID: <000001c43231$77a98080$0301a8c0@dell4600> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Regarding the current thread on going faster with smooth paint/ polished aluminum; The CAFÉ group of Northern California specifically ran tests less than 3 years ago on an extensively instrumented test bed airframe to determine the effects of a “professional wax job” and resulting performance. Net test results: No difference between waxed and non-waxed surfaces Huge differences in performance when measuring for smashed bugs on leading edges Check the index of EAA Sport Aviation magazine for the issue.
