the spar will give nearly a 20 foot wingspan. Winglettes will work, too.
The winglettes become your wing tips so you're in a good position to add a
couple of feet to the wings.

Another technique that works is to use a paste car wax. Liberally smear it
onto the bolt threads and screw them in place. When I bed rifle actions, I
use an epoxy material and the only way to keep the bedding screws (bolts,
actually) from becoming "one with the action" is to use the "Turtle Wax

That's interesting as I get 40 pictures on each 1.4 meg. floppy disk.
Obviously you're not using a Mavica. The pictures I get are standard JPG
format and excellent quality. I have been using mine to document my
construction. As for the size of the camera, it's very compact. Before

Spins are things you have to put yourself into unless you do something
stupid like press on into IFR weather in your VFR plane. The Grumman Tr-2
has a warning about entering spins that says, basically, "DO NOT put into
spins! If you do not recover within the first rotation, it is HIGHLY
unlikely
My question is, why not just build it according to plans rather than try
raining body parts and debris all over the countryside? That's why we have
plans: To build from.

The obvious solution here is build it as a single place.

Having both sets of plans, here's the difference:
The KR-1 wing span is 17' 8" versus 20' for the KR-2.
Both use 5/8 longerons.
Firewall is 1/4.
Distance between spars: Depends on when your plans were produced. I have
two sets of KR-1 plans and there is a difference between the two sets. I

Bob,
My ISP intercepted the following message from you this morning. You have a
virus on your computer and you might want to check on it. Here's the
message I got from my ISP:

I tried to contact Bob directly but was unable to deliver the message so I
put it on the 'net. That's the problem with some of these viruses. I like
you subject line better. Thanks,
Gene

I'm not anywhere near this stage of construction yet, but the time element
may be temperature related (assuming you're talking about drying time).

I have a question about the gussette material. I'm building a KR-1 and the
spruce kit included quite a bit of 5/8 triangular wood. Some of the gussettes
in the plans are dimensioned at 2 inches. Is anyone using 5/8 for gussettes? I
really don't want to use this only to have to start over if it'
