Finn:  

I think you’re confusing “Bernie Kerr” from our list here who installed a 13B on his 9A, vs. “Ernest Kerr” who in the article in CONTACT, was developing a FWF package…

Are you now flying your “4” regularly, and have it “tweaked” so you can simply turn the key (like a car), and go fly it?    :)

Take care,

Doug

Don't remember if he ever got it flying. I do remember his wife convinced to put a Lycoming in it :(

Using bike tubes as molds for fiberglass-wrapped intake runners was something that stuck in my mind way back then.
