K-2 question

Tue Mar 14 09:10:51 EDT 2017

You're welcome Jim. Please send pictures of the K2 when new drivers are installed. I'm sure everyone in the group would like to see how it turned out.

Very Respectfully,
Joseph Congemi

The bell was not installed under the steps as on the model but on the pilot beam with a plain steel strap bracket.  However, if you keep the bell on the pilot beam you should not have spoked pilot wheels and will have to add the cooling grills to each side of the front cowling.  I plan to return the bell to the top of the boiler after I finish replacing the top of the skyline cowling which on my engine is miss-shaped .
