Hi Folks, I'ma KR Newbie, been lurking around all the KR sites for a while now. I have come close to pulling the trigger on a build several times over the years but one thing or another got in the way (that never happens huh :) You may consider purchasing an unfinished project like I did. I had wild dreams of building the fuse wider and longer, making wings with wing tanks and using the new airfoils. I even used a cad program to make the fuselage just right. But in the end, I purchased an unfinished project from Larry Deckert. A very fine quality build with wings done with diehl wing skins, fuselage built to plans and tail built to plans. A rebuilt subaru engine, rebuilt corvair engine, warpdrive prop. etc, etc. for a about a quarter of the price materials would have cost just for the fuselage. I am in the process of building a new tail with actual airfoils, but heck I am years ahead instead of building my dream Kr. Just a note, there are some old kr fuselages around that are old and have been sitting in humid climates and are not worth their weight. I spent $700 in fuel to look at some in Oregon and was disappointed. Steven Bedford s1bedf...@msn.com Kr-2s
