Hi Matt, I read your post very carefully and you stated you have read everything you could find on the KR. I am not flaming you but I personally find that hard to believe because if you had, you would have not asked any of those questions. There are two places which will answer every question you ask. The first is the KR Net archives. Use the search engine to find answers to your questions. http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp or go to www.krnet.org and you will find links to everything KR related. Like I said, I am not flaming you, it is just that all of these questions have been answered over and over. The best tool anyone can learn to use is the archive search engine.

I have been interested in buying a KR-2S for some time now. I have been a private pilot for almost 8 years now. I've read about everything I could find on the net and looked at all of the pictures I could find. I still have some questions though. > > First off, what is the average build time on this plane? It's not a major concern of mine, I'm just curious. Can it be built in a two car garage? Do I need a lot of special tools to build it? What is the average cost once it's all said and done? Plane, engine, avionics, this and that etc. I would like to build it for under $20K. > > I have read that people have used different airfoils on this plane. Where do you find these airfoils? Does the manufacturer sell them as an option? > > Basically, I like a lot of things about the KR. It appears to be a relatively low maintenance project. I know there are a lot of people that have them and love to fly them. I also like the cruise speeds I hear about. I would like to be able to do a little cross country while cruising over 150 mph. Range isn't too important. > > How hard are the wings to detach? I really don't want to rent a hangar. I would buy a big shed or just keep it in my garage if it were practical. > > My wife and I are both 6'1". I'm about 200 pounds and she's about 160. How would we fit? > > Finally, is this a mostly wooden airplane? Is there a lot of composite work? I've never worked with composites, but I'm certainly willing to learn. I've built more radio controlled airplanes than I can count. How does building a full size compare to an RC other than size? > > Also, how is this thing to fly compared to Cessna 172's? That's all I have ever really flown. I've never flown a taildragger, but I love the looks of a KR that's set up as a taildragger. If anybody has any answers or advice for me, please let me know!
