This question has come up many times on the list, and to my
knowledge,
there's never been a structural failure (spars, fuselage....anything
made of wood) on a KR. There was a KR look-alike that lost its wings
during a high speed flyby at a KR Gathering, but it was composite,
built
in a short time frame, and apparently not as strong as a
"plans-built"
KR. Another "may" have had an elevator horn break (or the crash may
have caused it), but that's the only one that I know of, and I
wouldn't
call that structural, and it was isolated, if it even happened.
