Mark,
I have a KR2 that was built in 1984 that I'm in the process of updating. I have a web site that I would like to add to the links, of KR's under construction. I also have some questions about some things. http://vandyke5.com/kr2.htm 1.. I am in the process of rebuilding the elevator and rudder. I have noticed several e-mails about elevator counter balances. My KR did not have a counter balance, is it all that necessary? On that same topic, I have noticed some people have extended the elevator outward and forward creating a counter balance. Would that be the easiest thing to do in my case? 2.. In the process of removing the elevator I cut though the rear support for the fin, against your advice, I regret to say, I will listen next time. Rather than trying to splice it back in would it be better to remove the old one and replace it with a new one. My concern about this is its attachment of the support to the lower portion of the fuselage. If all of the old support can be removed I should have a clean area for glue to attach the new support. What do you think? 3.. Another concern it being able to get to the top 2 bolts for the motor mounts. The back nuts on the mounts are in a void behind the fuselage that you can't get to from the bottom or the top. There are sealed in that area by the wood support on the bottom, and a piece of wood on the top that the front deck rests on. Not to mention the header tank being in the middle of every thing. ???? I would appreciate any help in these matters. My goal is to get this thing in the air by January, April at the latest. Thank you R. Lee Van Dyke Vandyke5.com Mesa, AZ
