Thanks for the reply. 8-9 k for just an airframe is a bit steep. I have a
complete airframe and am currently looking for a VW engine mount.
Complete KR2's can be had for 10k and really nice ones for 13k. Depending
on ones ability to build their own engine it can cost from a cpl grand to
5k or better so 8-9 for the frame is a bit much.
You are a good man for what you are doing and the KR is a nice aircraft if
constructed and maintained well.
My airframe was built in 1983 and looks so far to be in airworthy condition
after some superficial repairs.
Unfortunately completed airframes don't go for as much as a raw kit.
Good Luck to You.
