Hello Group,
I went from "Lurker" to "Builder" yesterday! I aquired a KR-2 boat, front
center spar, cowl and fuel tank. I'm very pleased with the "stuff" and we
trucked it home yesterday without incident. The parts are approximately 12
years young and the "semi kit" came without plans so I'll b
Denny,
Welcome in out of the cold from Lurkerland. See my comments below.

Dan and Larry, thank you both very much for the replies. Fortunately there is
no varnish on the boat or spar so I don't have to deal with that. I'm almost
certain that the "white" epoxy" that was used for the initial build is FPL-16
from the Forest Products Labratory. Very good stuff, but I will

Thanks Mark, Since the center spar is already done, nice work too, I was
thinking that I would build the new 15% KR-2S wing without the foam spar
extensions. This will mean that I will have a little less wing area but I don't
see that as a problem.
The goal for this KR will be to build it as li

>As far as the fuselage "hole patch" goes, would it be possible to cut a
round hole in the boat and carefully bevel the edge and then insert a
plywood "plug" with a similiar bevel to get a nice tight fit and then put a
couple of layers of BID on the inside of the fuselage to reinforce the

Good point Larry, no one will be able to tell from the outside and no one will
