Tony I would suggest that you read the plans and follow the building sequence as printed. You do not have to build everything from scratch if you are willing to pay more money for the pre molded parts or machined parts. If you build all from scratch it will be easier to modify the airplane to suit you. For example, the KR pre molded parts will fit most easily on an UNMODIFIED fuselage...and the engine specified. The cowling may not fit over a Rotax engine. Rotax 912 is probably two or three times the cost of a GREAT PLAINS VW or a Corvair conversion and no more reliable.
