I had not decided on the final paint color yet, but I wanted to get the primer done on most of the parts early and I asked the guy at the store. He told me that you don't want to leave the primer on for more than a few days before you paint. He said that if I wanted to prime now that I should spray a light blush coat over the primer to protect it and he handed me a can of Krylon black spray paint to use. He said to sand off the blush coat just before painting and it would be fine. I decided to just wait on the primer until I am ready to paint because I can't imagine trying to sand off the paint without sanding too much of the primer. Might be fine if I was doing the fender on a car, but not an entire aluminum airplane with sheet overlaps and rivets. But, keep in mind that this is one brand of primer in Florida where the humidity is rarely under 90%. I have heard of plenty of people flying in Smooth Prime and other primers with no problems after painting. As your results will vary, check with the primer maker.

I have asked the VW Guru (Steve Bennett) about this also and IIRC he said no also. Something other than a wood prop may not break the crank at the nose with the Force 1 hub, but I have heard of cranks snapping between the #2 and #3 journals before.

Alittle research shows that the main reason was the crankshaft failures near the keyway on the tip of the crankshaft wear the hub is. The Force One hub was designed to prevent this type of failure. If I have a Force One, then I should be able to run any prop I want since this is designed to eliminate the breakage problem at the snout of crank. I would like to run a ground adjustable Warp Drive prop.

I tried both and can give you names of 3 others just in the north Dallas area that tried them. They run out at 130 mph and will not get any more. The last I heard from Ivo is if you tell him it is for a KR he will not sell it to you. He gave me a full refund on my prop after 3 months of running it on aKR with a 1835. I also tried the in-flight adjustable and ran into the same problems. The Warp drive word not refund my money so I gave it away with 2 Posa carbs(junk)to a friend with a Flybaby. After about 6 months he gave the prop to a friend with an Ultralight. He is happy with the prop. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin & Bev Rainey" To: "KRnet" Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 2:43 PM Subject: KR> Prop >I have read for several years about only running wooden props with VW >direct drive.
