Well, I feel good about building the KR right now. The last two weeks (after
some motivation from the Gathering) have been productive. I finished up my
header tank installation, Front deck is almost finished down to primering,
canopy is about ready primering, canopy is hinged and locks installed,
instrument panel is installed, brakes and rudder pedals finished, rudder
finally attached, and seat finished to desired "sittability".... I can now sit
in it- close the canopy - and dream.... This weekend will be spent at a
classic car show with my wind up car, and hopefully having more fun on the
plane. I hope to foam in the turtledeck and get it made. I got a cowling off
of Mark Langford's mold ( Thanks Mark!) and installed temporarily to see what
it looks like -- Im impressed ! The lines arent bad at all . I have a Todds
canopy which wasnt too bad to install using Home Depot butt molding - I'd have
to show you a drawing to explain, but I had the canopy cut and installed in
less than a week and thats only two to three hours a day! If I can find a way
I will post pictures but I dont have a web site. Hope everyone else is
having as much fun as I am... Happy Building - Bill
