Hi, Richard.
The KR2 is basically wood structure and composite skin, right?
Well, wood structures, if taken care of properly, have a nearly unlimited
lifespan. Keep the wood dry and it does not lose its properties.
Composite skins, we don't know really, because they haven't been around
for more than 30 years or so. What we do know, mostly from the gliders
guys, is that they can last for 30 years, again, if taken care of
properly. Here, the main thing would be to shelter from the sun, I guess.

Objet : KR> KR2S Life Span
Hi KR-Net,just curious what the airframe life span would be for the KR.
If anyone could give me the good and the bad about this subject would be
appreciated.
About to start building and was wondering about this subject as a friend
recently had to have his Beech skins removed for a airframe service (a bit
harder to do with the KR) as this aircraft was ageing.
