Damn Steve that's one nice looking KR1. I have a set of plans from long
ago but they're such a mess it never got moved to a front burner. I'll have
to seriously consider doing it anyway.

Hi Charles,
Morphing a Dragonfly toward a KR2 is also what I have in mind.I haven't
decided on a header tank but I would have hollow wings with fuel-tanks in the
inboard leading edge. The LongEz and Cozy have fuel-tanks in the strakes and
use a different foam in that area which doesn't

While de-hoarding in my storage unit today I saw an old stack of printed KR
crash reports. (I always found flight and crash reports interesting)
I was just now google-ing for more and saw this recent one, I don't recall
hearing of it on the list ...

Some of you are aware, some are not. In 2001 into 2002 a Jabaru-powered KR2
made an interesting 10-month trip from England to Australia, crossing parts of
Europe to Italy, Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia?, Iran, Pakistan, India,
Thailand, Myamar, Indonesia, across Australia to the southeas

That's what I was thinking too, it's based on the 'spar-centerline'.
Also I believe another way to determine that value is to take the average of:

Seems the tendency to deform might depend on the difference in thickness

seen the stuff so I wouldn't know. If it's much perhaps substitute the
cut-out with a thin washer of the cut-out size?

It sure is nice to read about adventures in KR. Wish we could see them more

The important other half of any emergency-locating system is what the emergency
responders use to detect a crash and universally use in their vehicles to find
the potential survivors in a very timely manner.For the pilot, having a
system which helps finding your remains if you don't survive

Let's not forget that KRnet is a forum for building and flying KRs.
Thank you Phil for sharing that. It definitely scoots along faster than my
current set of wings.

Holy stuff Mark! Nice photography. Especially thru a canopy. Very

views. On appears to be on the route to the caverns in North Alabama.

Darn, if only the your plans were KR-2S. I'm looking to get an unappreciated

I too have always really liked Alan's KR styling. I'm sure I have a copy of
every copyright-free image to be found on the net.
If you're going to have retracts, I can see that having a crushable foam block

I want to suggest it may be VERY GOOD that the harness attach in Bob's KR took
only part of the pilot's momentum and then failed. Bob and his test pilot may
want to be extremely happy over it.
