You will have to look at Eduardo's site to get the particulars. But yes the
foam gets sandwiched between the wooden frame pieces, and then sanded down
flush with the wood. Then the glass is applied inside and out. The Vision

construction methods.
This could help keep ones cost down if wood is hard to get

Hi Doug
I really like Eduardo's way of making a KR fuse and it would suite me
just fine to see things the same way you do. I would like to start my
project in January and this is one of the few outstanding issues. I
cannot imagine anything worse that looking at a complete fuselage or
wing etc. a

If you want to play it safe, then buy the plans for the KR2S, and build

Eduardo's site was one of the main reasons I chose the KR design in the
first place, it's simplicity and adaptability to change. The more KR's I see
the more I know I made the right decision as it seems hard to find 2 KR's
that are identical or built strictly to plan. It seems that most have been

Justin,
If you are going to go to all that expense and time to glass the fuse, why not
just apply one layer of carbon fiber to the inside and the outside, and have a
lighter and stronger fuse than you are describing. By the time you apply all
those layers, and the materials you are describing, i
