Hi All,
Ok here is a link to the pictures of the KR-2 for sale , there are some old
wood scraps laying inside and its a little dirty but it cleans up well and is
almost ready to fly.
I lost my shop and have no place to keep it or work on it anymore and the first
snow fall is in about 2 month
Hi,
Thanks to every one for the response and intrest in the plane, for thoes who
asked it is not registered or "n" numbered and there is a nice prop that goes
with it. And I found out that I have less time than I though to sell it so I'm
asking $4,500 for the plane.
Thanks again

Hi all,
I have a KR-2 for sale, it was a flying plane in the test phase, then had a
hard landing and now needs a few minor repairs along with finishing the engine.
it has a tri gear and the engine is a VW 1800 greatplanes conversion done at
the factory. and is brand new because the old engine
heir home field on sundays and the farthest cross
country they do is the last tree line you can see from the tower. If they had
to use a chart or do flight planning for REAL cross country, they would be lost
and scared and would never make it to your gathering anyway !.

He won't need the long range tanks, he's going north to Greenland then a short
hop over to Iceland then the long flight over the Channel to Scotland
thats about a 750 mile hop. So he should be fine with his wing tanks full.

Hello Josh,
I'm in california and our tax rate is 1%, my KR is valued at 12,000 by the
assessor and will go up when I change the electronics and right now I pay
120.00 in tax to the county per year. you county is asking you to pay almost 17
% in taxes that sounds way to high.

Hi to all,
I have discovered a small problem with one of the wings on this plane project I
have sort of inherited , the rear spar is about 3/16 shy of what is called for
in the plans and the airfoil is slightly misshapen because of this.
This condition only goes out to the second rib, after that
s you
suggest I will have to sand down to the spar, then glue in a new piece of wood
over the spar cap then re-glass the wing skin. ?. Then will it hurt to make
the new Spar cap a little wider so the old skn will lay over it when re-glasing
?.
Thanks
