Mark:
Let me offer some more data for KR2 buyers as to the prices I have seen,
I bought a partially finished project, just the wood , spars and good
workmanship for $2500. put an additional $12500 into it over a couple of
years. It flew very well strong, stable, and fast if a little too heavy.
I bought another project, great wood and on wheels and wings tail all
built seats, canopy controls. again for $2500 but this time it was real
dollars not the Canuck dollarettes as the first time. Add about $12,500 and
we have another plane looking to fly this summer.
During the winter I got a look at another plane over in PEI certified
( well signed off and ready to fly) looking very much like it had just come
off the factory floor. Subaru engine, trike, etc. for $ 7500 CND. It made
me want to cry with all the money I had in the other planes, but at the end
of the day there were some snags to fix before we go flying, but a pretty
plane.
I will have the trike available for sale in the spring for $ 15000 CDN
and that is a very fair price, for a very nice little bird. Goes to show
how value is in the eyes of the observer,
Best regards
Jim
