There are a few reasons my plane cost as little as it did. One, I waited to
find a started project. I found a finished KR2S boat with spars, all
fittings, gear, wheels and brakes and all cables and EXP2 bus for only 500.00!
All
I had to purchase was glass and resin to finish the plane. Engine is
Corvair 2700 that I built myself - firewall forward @3000.00. Prop I already
had
from other KR. Gauges are inexpensive Mirco 1000 and VDO. Handheld radio
(borrowed) and GPS (borrowed). I kept everything simple and built everything
only ONCE! That is how I have so little in it yet it performs great! Ill
do a better job on my next one - if I every take the time to build it. I am
enjoying this one tremendously. Planning some trips to Central and South
America in the future... Bill
