Hi, I?m a new pilot and a new KR owner; I live near Houston TX and wanted a inexpensive airplane both to build and to opperate. I just picked up a project that was started in 1974.I bought this Kr 1 (almost completed project) that is in amazingly good shape. It's all there, motor, prop, gages, canopy and everything is done except the finish.
My little plane needs body work!, I called around to aircraft supply houses and couldn't get any clear guidance on the latest improved bonding agents with filler. I read the article on "micro balloons" and how to do the bodywork but again wasn't clear on the epoxy to use. Would someone who know this kind of stuff give me some direction and a resource to get? Please enlighten me. I would love to call someone and ask questions about body work i.e. adding more layers of fiber etc.... Anyone in Texas also would be good. :) thanks rick
