HI Joe, Awesome project. Ive been fallowing the progress. I want to do wing
tanks like this and use your wing foil. If you would so kind to let me know who
made your tanks and where i can get the foil design, i would really appreciate
it.
Love your KR

Good Morning guys,
I don't know if everyone gets notification from Aircraft Spruce but a couple
times a year they offer discounts. I received a New years notice yesterday and
placed an order this morning and it allowed for a 5% discount on everything
that I ordered.
The promo code I used was:
ACSNY20
A bit of an update on Dr. Deans project that had languished a bit this year. I
have had a pretty darn good month since Thanksgiving. Left wing was completed,
removed from the plane and now in the process of finish sanding. The fuselage
was rolled around in the shop to position for the right wing build. The spars
were installed with set up of the attach fittings. The ribs were installed on
the root and tip. The fuel tank for the wing was fitted and at the welders for
mods's. The push/pull for the aileron has been installed. The landing light is
installed. Wing wiring is started. I started molding tip light lens.
I also worked on checking the landing gear configuration. The gear legs and
wheels had been installed when I got the project. The plane sits higher than
most KR's as it is now. It actually looks pretty good like that but my new- age
related issue is getting in and out of the cockpit. I have the canopy opening
plenty big but that first step on to the wing in a tri-gear configuration is a
bit to much. The other issue is the tires are just over 8'0" outside to outside
which means it is a struggle to Jockey it thru my 8' garage door. So the
solution I hope is to lower the plane by at least 2 to 3 inches and move the
tires in by 2" on each side. I have a whole bunch of level and plumb reference
lines on the gear legs now so it shouldn't be to much trouble. Then the last
thing to complete for wing closing is the brake lines. All in all I should be
glassing the right wing sometime this month.
There a re a few recent pictures posted on the KR Facebook page if anyone
doesn't know about it at
