The basic floor is 3/32" Birch or Mahogany with a 1/4" Birch layer on top from the firewall to the back side of the "B" stringer. The plans call for it to stop dead there but I gave it a 30 degree taper to blend it into the basic floor, which I made from Birch (but I'm a big guy :-) ). Both shelves are also 1/4" Birch, as is the firewall and the triangular stiffeners on the inside at "D", which also are 3/32" Birch. The aft shelf is called out as 3/32" ply, type your choice, but there is a non-Rand safety revision recommending a 1/4" Birch addition for the shoulder harness attach points. I made my shelf from Birch, running from the top of the seat back stringer to the back side of "J" and longeron to longeron and added the 1/4" underneath stringers/longerons, running from the seat back to the "I" stringer; but thinking back on it, it should be from "I" to "J" to give a better angle to the shoulder harness attach points. See ML's website for an alternate attach point for the shoulder harnesses, in which case you wouldn't need the 1/4" piece.

If you are referring to the leading edge of the wing, you don't put plywood on the leading edge of the wing on a "plans built" KR. Come to the gathering and find out all you ever wanted to know about building a KR, and probably stuff you don't know that you want to know. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2011 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il - MVN There is a time for building and it never seems to end. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC -----Original Message----- I forgot what kind of plywood we use around the nose section? _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
