Which the KR aircraft are definitely not! The KR aircraft would have to be registered as an Experimental Amateur built - which is actually more advantageous in that you can qualify for a Repairman's Certificate for that aircraft. A KR (in my opinion) might if properly built and equipped meet the LSA criteria for Weight, top speed and stall speed.

The Bondo types of fillers are great at speed, but suck for weight. Superfill is light, but also takes too long to dry. The polyester fillers don't stick to epoxy. Anyone know of a good two or three hour drying epoxy that is thin enough to mix with a good amount of micro and compatible with EZ Poxy? There are plenty of faster drying epoxys but all the ones I know of are a lot thicker than the slow laminating epoxys.

Brian, don't forget about the power of heat. If you're not talking about a huge area, a few heat lamps or bright halogen lamps heating the surface will at least turn it into a real "overnight" cure. If it's daytime and warm enough, setting it out in the sun will do wonders, as well.

Maybe it is not the same company. The sticker on my Midget Mustang wheel says they are in Ojai, CA, phone 805-646-6042. I would not be surprised if that area code has changed since the wheel has been there for a while. I checked Aircraft spruce and they are at this link. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/lg/tailwheels.html. They are the ones listed as the homebuilder's special wheels and all but one style is in stock. You can also get the ones for the 5/8" round spring and the spring from www.mustangaeronautics.com although the flat springs would be better suited to a KR. I do like the Matco alot, but it is just a little heavier. I still have the Matco from my last KR and I will be using it on the 2S with a wheelchair inflatable tire and a light weight aluminum wheel that I will make on my lathe.
