You are right, that undoubtedly added extra weight. What are you seeing for
climb and cruise and what prop are you using?
Thanks Kevin!

Mine is 565 empty, 875 gross. I'd guess you can knock 80 lbs off of that
easily just by sticking to the plan layup schedule. Mine has the entire boat
wrapped in a layer, multiple layers on the wings. It also has GPAS 1776 with
full electrics, good for another 30 or 40 lbs.

If you have a finished KR-1, would you please post your empty weight? The
original article in Sport Aviation by Jack Cox listed Ken's at 310 lbs using a
1200 cc VW. Current plans show 375 lbs for EW, and I would just like some
real-world numbers if possible. I am finally going to have some time to build
my plane to set an endurance record, and it needs to be as light as possible
(for more fuel).
Thanks in advance!
