I see that the comments are unanimous and I think the same.
I will abandon this project which poses too many security problems.
Moreover, continue dismantling to ensure that the rest could be used
will take a lot of time and will surely damage the structure even more.
The wise solution is to rebuild and as I said to Larry Flesner, that
will allow me to say proudly and without lying : "I built it".
I will start to disassemble everything that can be reused (canopy,
etc.), find, at the storage facility, the documentation that the widow
of the initial builder gave me, and start looking for suppliers for the
materials (I will have to find equivalents for the dynel, for example,
which is completely impossible to find in France).
As far as I know there is no KR-1, project or already built, for sale in
France. I don't even know of any KR-1 in France.
I am a member of an association of amateur builders. With a few other
members we are trying to revive amateur construction which is in great
decline in France. Aircraft like the KR-1 and KR-2 could be a good basis
for revitalizing construction. They seem easy to build, efficient and
allow a lot of options.
