Due to rust popping through the old paint on a project I just picked up, I'm going to strip the fabric, and start from scratch. I just stopped by a local paint store, and they offer a 2-part epoxy primer: Transtar 2K epoxy. Does anyone have any opionion one way or the other on using this product? I will be using the stits poly process for covering - I'm already familiar with it, and have quite a bit of extra left over from a previous project.

From: "Tom Jones" Jack, I would want to make sure it is compatible with the Poly Fiber materials before using it. Thats a lot of work, not to mention the expense, if there may be adhesion problems down the road. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV, Phase one 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=164334#164334 ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 05:31:57 PM PST US From: patrick reilly Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: opinion on epoxy primer? Jack, Opinion only since I have no experience with the brand you are talkin g about, but I used a 2 part automotive primeer to prime bare spots on my f rame. It appears that almost any 2 part epoxy primer is impervious to MEK b ased paint. I have glued over the 2 part I used successfully.

The Kunzelman Streamline TRIPLE MAGNUM 3 light SYM Strobes (http://www.kestrobes.com/) are out of focus but you can see a good shot on there web site. They are produced near my hanger in PA. The company is family owned and have GREAT customer service. The instructions are clear, easy to understand and with the provided parts and a little sanding are a breeze. Now the Best part they are VERY bright and if you buy the strobe all in one unit the running lights are red and green have a clear LED in the back that is white. They must be the super bright LED type. The Strobes are poured into a silicone shock gel that should keep them from failing due to shock or vibration. Did I mention they draw 1/3 of a AMP. Attached is todays photos of the Kunzelman's on my Kitfox IV 1200 Classic hope this helps. Also included is a photo of Ray Gignac's wing tip landing Lights. I also attached to a photo of the landing light mounted in the cowl behind the prop. I only see one problem vibration is going to kill the bulb. It also might be a little shakey if you fly off grass.
