HI, If you have space at home or sometimes the airport will allow, you can rent one of thoes 20 foot storage containers for about 60.00 to 80.00 per month and pull the wings and keep it in there for the winter months. Thats what I did with mine and it worked prety well but there isn't much roo

Deej'''...the KR you looked at last summer is coming along.  Ready to mount engine/instrumentsanyhow,...condensation percolates under covers. No Good.  Also, you need a ton of weights to hold an empty KR down if winds are 40mph+.  Especial attention to the tail...it'll go nose up pre

Hello KR fans, My name is James Freiberger and am the son of the late Ron Freiberger who I think many of you may know. My father sold his KR project years ago on ebay, and my siblings and I have no idea who the purchaser was. I would like to inquire as to weather any one here on the KR-net knows

Can a completed KR2 be kept outside with covers, or does it have to be kept in a hangar? What happens if the wood gets wet? What do you do when going to OSH or traveling? Thanks, -Dj

Jim Hill stretched his KR2 into a KR2S, but he had a pretty good reason...he broke the tail off the plane in an engine out landing here at M38, and had to fix it anyway. I don't know of any pictures though. The end result was almost un-noticeable. All he did was clean up the ends of the longe
