Gavin, Remember that most KR builders are people who have to choose between earning a paycheck, working on the KR, spending time with the spouse (we have women building KRs, too) and kids (or grandkids), going flying or checking the e-mail from KRnet. You won't quickly get answers to things you can figure out for yourself or find by browsing through a few books in the library. Some resources you may find helpful: Books: Composite Construction by Jack Lambie Kitplane Construction by Ronald J. Wanttaja Custom Built Sport Aircraft Handbook and EAA Aircraft Building Techniques WOOD both available from EAA Aviation Center, Oshkosh, WI 54903-3086 That said, and knowing how hard it is to contact Jeanette Rand, a quick check of my 2002 Wicks catalog, page 18 lists "KR Fiberglass Lightweight boat or tooling cloth in plain weave. 50" width, 5.85 OZ per sq yd. As used on the KR aircraft. Threads per inch 18 length X 18 width." A catalog from Wicks is a good resource. You will also find a GOLDMINE of information on Mark Langford's site. Links to so many great sites it boogles what few gray cells I have left. Copy everything and read it all. I recommend copying it because it is too extensive to sit there and read and it is great for those times when you don't have anything else to do. Good luck, Frank Ross, EAA Chapter 35, San Geronimo, TX RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk England UK alamo...@yahoo.com
