Well I must say Dennis is building very different from what is normally seen. The photos bring up a lot of questions. You may have mentioned it before, but is the sides of this fuselage fiberglass instead of plywood? Also are the rib to spar shelf brackets temporary? Neat canopy. I am thinking this guy has built things other than airplanes before. Great that he is building in a basement just like me!! Probably shouldn't have invited him to this group as it may corrupt him. I like that he has done so much without feedback, that he is building trike gear, and that he is building the best KR..... A KR1. Kevin Golden Streak Shadow In a message dated 1/2/2017 4:39:17 P.M.

I returned to a local KR1 project today for some photos to share with the net. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8976.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8979.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8981.JPG folding wing https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8982.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8980.JPG steerable nose wheel https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8985.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8988.JPG The folding wing is a one man process: remove the pins, pull the wing panel outboard (it is spring loaded) and rotate it to the rear. It will fly with a 2si 70 hp two cycle water cooled engine. The builder is this far along in just 13 months and hopes to be flying by midsummer. I'm pushing him to make Lee Summitt but that will be a stretch so to those attending, this will be your last chance for any trophies. I encouraged Dennis to join the net so you may be able to e-mail him direct in the near future. Just don't slow down his building.
