I made mine removable from the beginning. I was setting it up for IFR and was getting older and new the day wasn't far off that I wasn't going to be able to bend and twist to get under there. Last time I got behind the instrument panel (got lazy and didn't remove the deck), it took 20 minutes to get out. My wife got the biggest laugh out of it. She said I looked like something out of a Muppet movie with legs and arms flailing around. Funny now, wasn't then.MAKE IT REMOVABLE!?Gary Hinkle ?Old stiff A&P and Corp pilot.

I was doing gear work and adding tanks in the stub wings from the bottom also. I thought about cutting off the top deck and fuel tank first, but that was way before Mark did his removable top and proved it strong enough. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: KR> Removable Front Deck From: Mark Langford via KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Fri, May 06, 2016 4:41 am To: "KRnet" <krnet at list.krnet.org> Cc: ml at n56ml.com Imagine trying to access your brake cylinders. First step is to climb into the KR and lay down across the seat. Impossible? Yes, so you'll have to lay across the seat with your butt up on the longeron and feet dangling over the wing, while you finagle your shoulder through the 6" slot formed between the panel and main spar.
