I would like to get input from the various members of the group about the KR2. I found a project KR2 on barnstormers that I am considering. It appears the fuselage has been built. The current owner bought the project from the original builder but hasn't touched the project since purchase. One wing will probably need rebuilding due to varmit damage. It has retracts currently but I would prefer tri-cycle gear. How bad would it be to convert over? The turtleback appears to be on but the canopy hasn't been mounted yet. Flight control cables have been ran.
Realistically what seems to be the average time span involved to get a plane together? This would be my first attempt at plan building. My mechanical skills are about average. I would like to do a Corvair conversion with William Wynne's book as my guide. I was wanting to get something already started to try to increase my chances of completing a project. The project is about 500 miles from my home. I am a low time pilot without a tailwheel endorsement. My only experience flying is C172's. Would this be a respectable endeavor to pursue? Please email off line so as not to tie up everyone on the list. Thanks, Michael Coates [email protected]
