Hi guys, I don't say much but here is my two cents worth. Brian, this flying thing is a serious endeavor and fraught with pitfalls. Best not to cause yourself more grief than needed. This little bird is a very frugal way to get some good flying in, but like everything else, has limitations. Certain epoxies are more sensitive than others to mixing ratios, it is critical to follow manufactories directions in this respect. You said "Dynel" in one post. I would very strongly recommend that you re-skin those area as you will only have trouble over the long period and I don't know of any KRs still flying with it as it is prone to cracking. When it comes to safety and doing things right, this group is a pretty amazing bunch and will truly work hard to help you have the most rewarding experience possible on this wonderful adventure. I'm working on my second KR and plan to keep it super simple and super light, like it was intended to be. I currently own/work on/fly a KR-2, Pietenpol, Barracuda, Emeraude, and a Renegade, well most of them are wood!
