I also build R/C planes and the hobby shops sell sandpaper on the roll for
about 5 -7$ It has a sticky back and you can stick it to almost anything, angle
iron/aluminum, edge of 2 X 4, etc. worked great for me.

As my kids would say,(text?), ROFLMAO, I too have a Piet Oscar, love it,
one of my favorites, er next to the KR that is. I have started a similar
list for my KR build as well as my BD-5 build. Great idea all around.

Very Nice! Eduardo. The plane seems to perform quite well, I did note that
this particular KR appears to be built very light. Argentinians take
building airplanes very seriously judging by the photos. Some very nice
craftsmanship can be seen in many of the planes one can see.

this type of power plant. With many years behind two strokes and having

COOL! Thanks guys, some very useful information. I'm a bit of a minimalist,
however, safety, reasonable upgrades and modifications will all add-up. I
will now have to make my list, and live with the results.

781 lbs! is that not a bit on the heavy side? What do other planes
"typically" come in at? The spread sheet on the net is a bit dated and not
very complete. Not criticizing, just curious.
