Where is the project located? Many times, you may find a KR builder or
pilot/owner near you that can mentor you through the build process. I agree
with Griff... come on out to Mt Vernon next weekend and meet, touch and maybe
get to ride in a KR...
Best regards

Joshua,
Glad you finally have formed some questions.
Assuming you have all the systems and composite knowledge you need to make a
decision, I would recommend looking at the wood joints of the fuselage (boat).
The plywood should be aircraft or marine grade, not hobby plywood or veneer.
The joints should be properly joined ((90+% contact if surfaces), wood
adhesives are not used as filler, but joining agents.
I would also weigh each wing; they should be about the same weight. If the
builder has a record of the weight of the boat, you can then estimate the final
weight- many KR2 and -S weights are published on the net, in a spreadsheet, I
believe. These are airplanes, so heavier isn’t better-unless the gross is
increased, in which case, you are entering theexperimental-experimental world.
Are AN fittings present, or Home Depot bolts? That might indicate the approach
the builder took throughout the build.
Finally, get your info to Mt Vernon Illinois next weekend, and bring photos!

Subject: KRnet> Taking over KR-2S
Hello everyone, I am a longtime lurker but first time poster. I have the
opportunity to take over a KR-2S project and am going to look at it this
weekend. I am an A&P with a decent amount of experience on composite aircraft,
but I’ve never worked on a KR. I was wondering if anyone can suggest specific
components or areas of interest to look at apart from the obvious? Wings are
currently off and there is no FWF.
Thank you!
