I'm sorry to hear about your
g 33.
What a break! It's kind of neat to build a plane out of wood with a bit of
history to it.
I have now begun cutting and sanding all of the dimensions. :) Mike Johnson

Yes, some of it. It's very old and I am waiting for any reaction that might
happen when cutting it open.
The wood is so dry it could have a tendancy to split. Mike Johnson

Great story, congrats :) Mike J

Mike, I used some Douglas Fir on my first aircraft, that came out of an
old house. It was very dry so I let it set outside for a couple of weeks to
raise the moisture level.

Hello Rich,
My intention is to sand all pieces then at all joints use a toothing plane to
create a very strong bond.
This is used in fine furniture construction. A toothing plane looks like a
small comb. I have built
alot of furniture over the years and the joint is far superior to any other
me
have found a hard pencil works best.
This is a very old auto body trick taught to me twenty some years ago. I have
yet
to do any finish work on a KR2 but I would imagine it would work just as well.

keep it
about KR's.
At any rate, I have made a bunch of tail springs for airplanes this way,
utilizing a prototype press
my father has. I am about 5 or 6 springs away from perfection. They cost
nothing and weigh nothing.
And if I make it work I will send you one for nothing. Mike Johnson

Thanks for the response guys. I am just pre-planning my build. I would like to
make my wings
a bit longer for the reasons you stated. No aerobatics for me. :) Mike Johnson

Does anyone know of any builder that ended up with an unusually light weight
fuselage? I searched
the archives and had some trouble finding any isolated information on what to
expect for weight
with no engine. I would like to beat the average if I could.
Thanks a bunch, Mike Johnson
Hey Mark,
For many years I built street rods with big V8's. I am by no means an expert,
but over time I have
learned to depend on Borchardt Speed and Automotive for all my machine work.
The owner is
one of the best engine builders in the state of Wisconsin. He is absolutely a
wealth of knowledg
After all the great feedback from the kr club, and talking to a couple of
engineers I came up with only
one discovery, do nothing!
The "boat" is the best part of the kr design. I talked it over with a
structural engeneer, and let
him no what all your thoughts were as well, and he was quick to s
his
plane. I got suckered
into buying one of his videos about the composite construction he used. I was
really happy with the
video. By the way, his canopy is very, very streamlined.
Thanks to everyone who answered my questions on fuselage weight. Mi
want a nose gear(how much does that weigh) the
list goes on an on.

t would be sweet. Please give

I would like to see it.Do you have a website? It sounds like you having alot of
fun. How were you
planning to mount or reinforce stub spars? How much glass on both sides did you
end up doing?
I hope you don't mind me asking, but it sounds like an awesome plane.
