Hi guys! You may not remember me but I went to the KR gathering in Colombia Tennessee and started this project shortly after that. I am now moving in a month and have had health problems so I can only get my medical on special issuance. So....I'm selling my project that I loved so dearly. Hope to find it a good home with someone who will finish and fly it.
KR2S Homebuilt Experimental Airplane Project For Sale 12/15/09 Spruce/aircraft ply/fiberglass composite I have done much of the hard work. Now all you have to do is finish it and fly it. I am a perfectionist and a skilled builder. This KR has been built to my high standards so you can feel confident about the craftsmanship. The project is beautifully constructed so far. I have maintained logbooks and test samples on this project. Im moving and have medical problems so it doesnt make sense for me to finish this project. Just looking at what I am selling you may not realize all the hours and work it took to construct it to this stage. Each section is assembled with the correct shape and very tight tolerances. No warps or misalignments. Everything is straight, true and strong. I have used T88 epoxy adhesive (considered the best) to construct the spruce/ply and aeropoxy for the fiberglass surfaces. All double-taper wing spars are completely assembled . The RR plans have been followed except for two modifications. To improve shoulder room. I widened the fuselage a little (one inch). And to improve pitch stability, I widened the horizontal stabilizer (and elevator) by 3 inches per side. Includes a Dragonfly canopy that is aerodynamically very sleek. Includes many assembled components. An engine and gear are not included. Right now I'd like to sell it as an entire project, but may consider selling off the pieces later. Here's what I have into it: Complete aircraft spruce/ply kit, T88 $1500, wing attach fittings $450, hinges,foam, fiberglass,fillers, epoxy, hardware $500, Canopy, canopy frame, forward deck $700, Plans $240, and lots and lots of manhours. Total about $3390 in parts alone. Im adding $1000 in labor (a big bargain). Total asking price is $4390 for the project with many assembled sections. Reasonable offers will be considered. Photos available. Email me at rsmith...@nycap.rr.com for info or photos. Location is Ballston lake, NY (20N of Albany). Tel Bob at 518 8776056 This project now consists of: Rand Robinson KR2S plans Rand Robinson KR2S builders instruction book Complete set of spruce from Wicks (set used to construct sections listed below) Fuselage near completion with aircraft mahogany plywood Composite Fiberglass/foam horizontal stabilizer near completion w hinges Composite fiberglass/foam elevator with carbon-fiber reinforced sharp edges near completion w hinges Composite fiberglass/foam vertical stabilizer near completion Composite fiberglass/foam rudder Complete set of (2) fore and aft main box wing spars completed and looking beautiful and strong.(not yet drilled) Complete set of (4) outer double tapered wing spars completed (not yet drilled) Complete set of 16 laser cut, powder coated wing attach fittings Optical quality, very aerodynamic acrylic canopy (Dragonfly model) 2 fiberglass composite bulkheads (1 for the canopy, one for the aft section) 2 composite canopy frame supports 1 composite fiberglass/foam forward deck Polyurethane foam, 2 boxes ½ inch urethane foam sheets, 1 box Polyethylene foam, 1 section ¼ inch aircraft plywood for firewall 1/8 inch aircraft ply for flooring Radio antenna and coax (for Vstab) Various aircraft-grade hardware Leftover mahogany aircraft plywood Fiberglass cloth in various thicknesses, approx 4 rolls Carbon fiber reinforcement cloth An instrument panel template Loads of printed Krnet helpful hints And hidden deep inside the main spar is a tiny bird's "feather" to give the project the right karma. I think this project is less than 50% completed so you can be the builder. Email rsmith...@nycap.rr.com I also have pieces of aircraft steel for wing attach fittings if you want to make your own. Already cut to width. Make me an offer. Will sell separately from project.
