The canopy was fitted about 6" above the longerons to improve headroom. This left him with a blank area of infill in which he built and installed a bubble window. This bubble, as well as improving visibility, could be opened to improve airflow on the ground while taxying as well as a convenient area to stick an elbow in a tight cockpit.
Unfortunately we lost Graham 6 months ago to cancer. Some notes from the secretary of our local SAAA club (edited slightly): > I have some sad news, one of our long standing SAAA members passed away on the weekend. Graham Schott lost his battle with cancer. > Graham was a staunch advocate for SAAA. Always promoting SAAA where ever he went in his little plane VH-XXS (XXS for eXtra eXtra Small). I can't remember how long Graham has been flying his little KR-2 but it seems like a long long time. Sue and Graham have flown that little plane everywhere. All around Queensland's outback, Avalon, Mangalore, Cowra, Wagga, Narromine. If there is one thing that Graham has inspired me to do it is to fly my plane like he flew his. A plane should be flown and not sit in a hangar, and Graham and Sue got the max out of his/their little plane. > There a many stories to tell about Graham and Sue to many to tell here but to mention a few, their flying outback trek around Queensland, the time he lost his prop due to a crankshaft failure, Avalon and back, and they would turn up at all the major SAAA events and have a story to tell. Graham and Sue were also involved in the Caloundra Flying club with Graham and Sue committee members of that club for many years and again promoting aviation and SAAA. RIP Graham. -----Original Message----- Mark wrote: The interesting thing about that photo is that he's cleared out the area under the canopy between canopy and top longeron and apparently put some Plexiglas in the hole. .... I'd like to know more about how he did that.
