We have one built for a Volkswagen, but we have a 35AMP breaker switch that is first in line and I decided not to use the solenoid as it seemed like just another point of failure to me, and my first KR worked fine without one. We have a Mag and an electronic secondary. The secondary and the fuel pumps run directly off the 35Amp breaker so there is only a single point of failure, but nothing else is hot without the breaker on, including the starter. All other circuits are isolated on separate breakers. See you in Mt.

Personally, I love flight reports because what is better motivation to the builders than reading all the exciting flight reports of KR pilots who were once builders trying to reach their dream. It is my vote to keep the flight reports a part of the KR Net as inspiration and motivation to those now building. Good job guys, keep the reports coming.

My experience with aircraft and cars has been such that every circuit that you can separate and protect individually in a practical sense is best. Honda makes it a point to run individual power and ground circuits in almost every circuit in their cars, and I have seen only one or two develop electrical issues due to wiring in 15 years. It is also very nice to be able to flip the master on and then just the one or two devices to work on them and test them. In the air the ability to isolate circuits is virtually mandatory for proper protection of yourself and the airplane if something goes wrong. If you run dual ignition the one switch is not nearly as safe because it can take out both if it breaks inside of itself. Also, pilots need to remember their primary flight training, or get more information to expand their knowledge in order to best deal with emergencies. Like Larry said a fire is a bad thing. Depending on where on the plane it is, diving to blow it out, or smother it with air may be your only alternative. In both Law Enforcement and my Aviation Training, I was always taught to plan at all times what I would do if this went wrong, or that happened. That way I have already mentally rehearsed the procedure and it can be done with normal flight precision, instead of possibly freezing up, or mental overload. Just some thoughts....

Don't forget the preheater coil wrapped around the exhaust pipe before the oil injector. Makes it much more efficient. Might want to wax the hell out of the bottom of the fuselage, too.

Do not start in an open garage just because it's about eighty outside with humidty at about 90%. You will find that as soon as you have your glue mixed and lay down the first brush full on the longerons and cross-members and know that you only have about a half an hour to complete the job and cannot quit, the mosquitoes will find you and call in all their buddies. As is often said here, "Dont ask me how I know).
