build time for KPA100

[Jeff Kinzli]

Hey Folks, what's the approximate build time on a KPA100 compared to a
K2? I just finished K2 #5945 and am antsy to get the KPA100 on the air
;)

Also, wondering about the KDSP2 (looks quick) and KNB2 (also looks quick).

Thanks,

-J

J,

You will likely find the KPA100 build time about 1/2 ot that required for
the K2.

I found the KPA to go pretty quickly after I got the proper wheel for my
Dremel. You're supposed to take the anodizing off the heat sink in
specific places, and going at hard anodizing with a piece of emery cloth
made me go nuts.

The dremel attachment (a tiny wire brush) was great for taking the paint
off of the case where grounding was needed as well.

My build time for the basic K2 was about 45 hours. Build time for the  
KPA100 was about 8. I remember being surprised at how quickly it went  
together, and that it worked perfectly the first time.

A couple of hours each.
