You probably deserve some flames for that one, but, what the heck, it's not Friday and you are entitled to your opinion and I can appreciate your observations.
However, I think your post could be misleading to new builders. Our plane is plans built with few modifications. And you are right about the great changes that builders have made over the years that have been adopted as almost" plans. I am concerned about your using aluminum on the firewall, but that is your call. For everyone else, I think you should use stainless, as aluminum will burn up and add to a fire, should it occur. Let's don't make it worse than it may already be. See N64KR at http://KR-Builder.org - Then click on the pics Daniel R. Heath - Columbia, SC [email protected] See you in Mt.

I will throw out observations I have made. This use of epoxy on such a weak wood as this spruce is drastic overkill. It takes little to break the grain of the wood. You could probably build a KR using Liquid Nails and be just as safe. Same goes with this wiring. For those of us with polyurethane foam in the plane, the fact the wire fumes will not be toxic is no relief. As to following plans on a KR few have and there are many true improvements over the original garage builders design. So whats one more here and there. There is NOTHING plans built so far on my plane. I could sell the plans when I am done as they have not built a KR! Though I will not as I will use them for reference in the future when I build a GP4, or P38, or.... Firewall is decided, 2 - 1/16 layers of fiber frax and aluminum for cover and looks.
