found the wing attach fittings pretty much identical to the KR
aircraft. Major difference was that the Taylor wing fittings were
longer, and had ten bolts going through the wood spars. Check it out,
if you get a chance. John Shaffer
I've had it in my head for years that the KR is somehow "modeled upon" or
somehow closely related to the Taylor Monoplane. Finally taking a close look
at a Taylor Monoplane, other than them both using VW engines and having the
same same overall dimensions, I don't see any similarities in partic
