Being the KR fanatic I am, I now have more KRs than I know what to do with. One is taking up more garage space than I have and I need to sell it. Here is the scoop:
Seems to be stretched about 9 and widened about 2". I will get more accurate measurements if anyone is interrested. Is currently a tri gear with Diehl like main gear with hand laid up fiberglass legs. Has Diehl nose gear and wheel and tire included. The plane currently has Cleveland wheels and Matco brakes and master cylinders installed. The wheels and brakes are one of the main reasons I bought the plane so I could take them off and put them on my 2S. I would leave them on if I got another $700 for the plane so I could replace them or I would replace them with a set of Azusa wheels and Lamb tires and mechanical brakes that I have. The fusalage is relatively done and has deck cloth on the plywood. The tail feathers are done and need very minor filling and sanding. Removable turtle deck and forward deck are done and need minor filling and sanding. Firewall is done and stainless is already applied. There is a new Great Plains engine mount already installed. Center stick is installed and aileron cables installed. Elevator control is Langford style with push tube from stick to a bellcrank, then cables to an aft bellcrank and push pull tube to elevator. Only control cables need to be installed and I have the parts to finish that off if wanted. The elevator is internally ballanced. There is a cowling that needs just a little more glass work. It is not a premold. Wing spars are done and attach fittings are installed. I have a new set of Diehl skins also. There is a very nice belly board installed. It recesses perfectly flush with the belly when retracted. There is a nice lightweight motorized actuator already installed. The wings are also built for split flaps in the stub sections. The flaps still need to be built, or the bottome could just be glassed if they were not wanted. The turtle deck and canopy are unique. The turtle deck is removable and is low profile. It is made for a full bubble style slider canopy. The canopy frame is made and needs some finish work. The slide frames are made and need a little more work. The fixed windshield is made and just needs to be glassed on and the upper frame made. There is a completed fiberglass mold for blowing the rest of the bubble. If someone wanted to use gull wing doors instead of the slider they could blow the plexiglass bubble with the mold then use the fiberglass and foam mold as a premolded frame for the rest of the canopy. That is what I would do if I finished the plane. Electric elevator and rudder trim are already installed. The rudder is completely finished and installed and is smooth and already primed. There is a very nice tail light molded on the aft of the rudder. The bottom side of the elevator and stab are smooth and primed. There is a wood instrument installed and cut for gauges already. There is a very nice ventilation system installed with NACA ducts for inlets and molded in air passages leading to nice adjustable vents on either side of the instrument panel. The forward deck is done and is removable. A foam mold for a fuel tank is already done. I may finish off the tank this weekend. Rudder pedals are installed. There are nice nylon fairleads installed all te way back for the rudder pedals. The cables could be installed in a few hours. There is no seat yet, but I may make one this weekend. How much I want for the plane depends on how soon someone wants it. If someone wants to buy it right now I want $1,000 with the Azusa wheels and mechanical brakes and $1,600 for the wing skins. If I don't sell it soon I will finish the fusalage get it primed and finish off the wings and ask more. I am also willing to split it up and sell off parts.
