I'm building a KR-1 and there are others flying. As for what they should sell for depends on where it's at in construction, what comes with it and wether or not the toad you sacrificed was really virgin. Pricing is subjective: Sellers think it's worth more than buyers are willing to pay. That having been said, I bought a KR-1 kit on eBay for $1551. A week later, I bought a ground looped KR-2 COMPLETE for $1000. Another KR-netter wanted the wings so I sold him those for $150. I'm using most of the '2 to build the KR-1 including the Diehl fixed gear, Cleveland wheels and brakes, HAPI engine and mount, instruments, etc.
As for the BD-5. . .I had a very bad experience with the original company under jim bede <lcit (lower case intentional throughout)]. Then recently I purchased a partially completed kit. Turned out to be another bad story, HOWEVER, I sold it for what I paid AND kept the radio and upholstery and a number of aluminum sheet/stock, hardware, etc. (Someday that thing should make a great planter box or windsock.) The main reason you see more KR-2's than -1's is most people want a two place bird. The -1 definitely is NOT another BD-5. And for the net, I just got in my "B" wing plans. Now a question for anyone who can answer it: I want to use the 5046 airfoil on the KR-1 BUT I want to switch to the KR-1B configuration, as well, for those days I want to go soaring. Does anyone in the group have an idea (based on expertise and NOT opinion) on how the 5046 wing stub and GAW airfoil would mix? I'd like to find out BEFORE I cut my ribs and start the wing. Thanks in advance, Gene Leone, Worland, Wyoming Why is Chelsea Clinton so homely? Because Janet Reno is her real father. -------Original Message------- From: KRnet List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: 03/29/04 06:32:54 To: gle...@rtconnect.net Subject: KR> O T Can any one tell what price a KR1 should sell for? Is the KR1 another BD5. 30 years in the making and unable to fly? _______________________________________ to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
