KR> Fuselage sides vertical?

I have always thought that an all wood KR would be pretty great. Also, I do have to admit, I like the banana boat shape of the KR. It just needs to be a little more wide at the shoulders to be a decent 2 place airplane. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on

Gary, My KR-2 is built to stock plans. The widest point for the cockpit is 34 inches at the top rails. That is way too narrow for me, much less two people. Canopy height and curve for the stock RR bubble requires me to lean my head to the right to keep from bumping my headset. The leaning to

More wood needed on account the cross members will be longer. firewall template may not line up. Precast forward and aft decks will not fit. Precast dome will need adjusting if at all usable. Adam Tippin A&P KR2S builder > On May 31, 2016, at 3:01 PM, Gary via KRnet wrote: > > > > I

Glassing the sides and bottom is optional, I chose to do it using a very light cloth that was very sheer, the weight gain was negligible, make sure u sand all excess epoxy off. I do recommend this as it really seals the wood. -Good Luck. On Fri, 26 Sep 2003 18:07:52 EDT wa7...@ao

I too would glass the bottoms and sides. I recently purchaxsed a KR-2 which had a hard landing and pushed the wheels through the top of the wing. I noticed the paint was cracked on the joint line on the bottom of the fuselage. I did a little investigating and found the bottom center of the longe

Normal aircraft practice is to cover wood with cloth, made easy with heat shrinkable Dacron and stits (Poly Fiber)process finishes. You apply finish to the wood, add cloth and shrink tight, and then a coat off Poly-Brush to connect the cloth down to the initial coating. This is very easy and sim

Wow, when I read the below response, it makes one wonder why were even talking about an antiquated technology NOT SPECIFIED in the KR PLANS. I'll admit, Cloth and Dope was a revolution on the Hindenburg, it however should not be used on your KR. As we moved into the JET AGE, we found out that epo
