Phil, after spraying all of the poli-stits coatings on the fabric surfaces of my MKIIIX I definitely can say I prefer the gravity feed type (canister on top of the gun) spray gun that I used. I used a regular 5hp compressor with 25 gal tank. What I do recommend renting or buying a "fresh air machine" with mask to protect your lungs and brain from over spray. Since you are in Hixson you may want to check with Stewart Pruitt about the process he is going to use on the Taylor Craft he will be covering in a year or so.
Never having done any fabric work, I was amazed at how easy the Stits process is to use. Any fabric work is time consuming( and a little tedious) but even an amateur can get a decent job if he follows instructions... speaking of my own self of course. I am satisfied that my fabric parts (wings, control surfaces, etc) are all complete and ready to install. I only lack a little fabric/coatings work on the fuselage cage to be finished with fabric work. Phil, I believe you have more experience with this process than I did.
I am looking forward to taking the cage and GPAS VW engine to London, KY and KOLB this next week so they can help me design and build an exhaust system. We are hoping to come up with something with Steve Bennett's input that can be a standard system for Kolbers that want to use the VW conversion with re-drive.
Hope all of you on the list had a Merry Christmas and will have a great New Year.
