An update on my (newly minted) KR. I had purchased a high time o-200 and was
hoping to get a couple hundred hours on it before doing a complete rebuild.
Well, that was not the way things went, In the first few flights, the hotter
the engine got, the lower the oil pressure got. 15 lbs. below Cont

So darn close I'm already getting that KR grin [?] . I've started the painting
process and will be taking a week off to try to get her finished by the end of
the month. With that being said, I have a 1966 Cessna 150 in great condition
that needs a new home, I need the hanger space. More updates

Hey Guys, Just put in another day of cowl shaping. Have I ever mentioned how
much I have grown to hate sanding, be it shaping foam or the final cosmetic
sanding ? But on a good note, It's looking pretty darn good this time around.

Hello everyone, It seems to be a little slow on the net so I'll give a quick
update on my project. All of the plane now has primer on it except for the
cowl, which is not made yet. 99 percent of the sanding is behind me now and I
could not be happier ( Sanding sux ). I am looking forward to han
Just came up from the basement after spending another full day filling and
sanding, I prefer the massive one cover with micro and sand down until I hit
the high spots. You end up with a lot of wasted micro being sanded back off but
it seems to make for a smoother finish. But then again, when I
Hey Guys, Another milestone reached Friday. A friend and I put in a 28 hour
round trip of 1,550 miles to pick up my mid time Continental o-200a. I feel
like I'm suffering from a little sleep deprivation but am totally stoked to get

mistake now and again. A good reminder to check and recheck before signing off
on a component. Glad you found the problem.

Some of you know that I took my KR2 out of service over 18 months ago, to
put fuel in the wings and install the Corvair. The fuel in the wings was
finished several months ago, but I could not get the installation of the
Corvair finished in time for this year's Gathering. I have been having

Great news Mike- IT is Truly worth the effort

Hey Guys, A little update. After spending the last week trying to put a slick
finish on the stub and main wings, I have a lot more respect for those who have
completed a KR. I have also decided that my next plane will be something other
than a composite, perhaps tube and fabric. Don't worry abo

HI everyone,
I just finished putting the third coat of smooth -prime on the bottom of my KR2
. This marks the completion of the retrofit to the fixed gear (Fuselage mount,
spring gear from great plains,).
This stuff is great to work with and sands very well, to bad it is so expensive.
