It sure is nice to read about adventures in KR. Wish we could see them more

Johnny Cradduck,
I have a friend that has lost his plans to a partially completed KR and would
like to get another set.
I have added him on copy and will try to confirm with him for a follow-up

I'm not much of an expert on that but mine are 1/8" aluminum and have
held for 350+ hours now. I'd go with something similar or maybe

For clarity, the ELTs I am talking about are the new 406Mhz units that

This is a very good point Mark, Like I told Mark Langford, I
watched his entire flight yesterday even had the wife watch which gave her

I am in the process of building the ailerons. I can,t see from the plans what
size or type of material they are made from except that they should be 1/8"
thick.
There were some posts a couple of years back about it, suggesting steel would
be best, what size and thickness? Should I use angle rat
