Since they are not selling the mount, I do have the dimensioned drawings for the mount that I'll be happy to email to anyone that requests it. this mount will fit any of the 4 cyl Continental engines, (A-65 through O-200). >I'm using what I believe to >be a HAPI VW mount for my 0-200 the same as Marty Roberts.  I seem >to recall that the 0-200 mount puts the engine several inches forward >of the HAPI mount location.

I can not get my plane out of the reduced CG limits (I don't use the aft 2" RR claims is OK) without going way over gross. >His KR is a 24" stretch >like mine.  My KR is essentially a stock KR with a 14" stretch in the tail.

After two coats of smooth prime,and three of u2k, I have decided that I will never reach even close to a perfect finish, So I made the command decision to declare it done, and ready for paint. Small imperfections be damed. I want to fly this thing this spring and I don't want to add any more wt. with fillers. I have a rare KR2 in the respect that it only weighs 535lbs. empty(before finish paint). Now for a new one to chew on, is it permisable to make your own Data plate from raw stock? Or do you have to use an approved plate?

At least then, you can wet sand it. There is no way that you will have all the pin holes out of it after smooth prime, so now the real work begins. The nice thing about having that layer of Smooth Prime on there is that, if you put on a grey primer, you quickly know when it is time to stop sanding, look for pin holes, fill them, prime, and start sanding all over again.
