Oh no, tell us it is not true. You are not building one of erector set airplanes, are you?
Brian Kraut Engineering Alternatives, Inc. www.engalt.com I'm afraid it is true...however I would never give in to the Dark Side of the Erector sets! (sorry Dana) :) The deal is done pending final inspection when the buyer comes out from Boston. I learned this evening that the intention is, in fact, to take the KR to Boston at some point but I will keep it until arrangements can be made for shipping or to fly it back. Too bad for me that I will still have access to it for now. ;) My plan actually is to buy a flying Varieze until my LongEZ is completed. I'll then sell the Vari to finance the new plane...a highly modified KR-1. Richard Shirley and I are collaborating on the new design and anticipate 240 - 275 MPH cruise. I will document the construction process in case anyone is interested. The short list of the design will be a 63 series airfoil, P-51 style electric retracts, stretched, widened, glass cockpit with auto pilot for the long trips and possibly O2 if I install the turbo for high altitude travel. Stay tuned. I'll most likely start on the new plane sometime this next year. I am hoping to have the L-EZ back in the air by spring or early summer so I will be flying one of the EZ's to the Gathering. Regards, Steve Glover KR-2 N902G AJO, Ca <kr...@cox.net>
