Guys, with the recent changes in my life I am dropping my asking price to
$3,500.00 for BOTH of my KR projects. Both are in the boat stage, one

I just purchased a KR2 project from a friend in hopes of using parts on my
KR2s that I have been working on for a while. He has narrowed the fuselage
a little for a single seat version. I have a question. He has a lot done on
the wings. Both outer wings have the top foam in place and sanded to

Hey guys, what is the minimum horse power for the standard KR2S?
Would a 55hp Hirth work ok?

Bill I look forward to hearing replies. I am considering the weight
difference of possibly using aluminum for ribs and skins? Couldn't someone
make one piece ribs that would slide onto the spars then rivet sheet skins
onto them?

I thought I'd chime in on this one. I also am a past president of an EAA
chapter here in Ohio and found that it is true, you get out of it what you
put into it. However, I also have come to an opinion that EAA, or at least
a lot of its chapters, have become more AOPA. There is very little E in

Is it necessary or common to cover the fuselage with a layer of glass? Or
just a coat of epoxy? I seem to be getting told a few different things buy
some guys in the area so I thought that I would put it out to all the
experts in the KR2 family.

Don, Great looking plane. Do you by chance have pics of your wing
extension? What is your stall speed? I am also looking at extending the
wings and could sure use some pics of your process.

Todd, not long ago Mark L. gave some good advice. Call your project
something besides KR, extend the wings to lower stall speed and go for a
Light Sport Ticket on it. No reason why it wouldn't work.
Just my 2cents worth.

OK, I'm used to working on cars and tractors where a bolt or nut gets
cranked down tight. So how tight is tight enough when tightening the
WAF bolts?
I am unable to find a spec on how tight they should be. I would think
that having the WAF bracket pull into the wood is not good.
Thanks

Question, I was talking to my future instructor Saturday and mentioned

plans were to obtain my Sport Pilot rating and build the KR to the LSA
specs. He didn't seem to like that idea too much. He stated that I
