I do appreciate the replies. just to be clear what I'm after, I am ONLY 
interested in a KR1 single place, original style, less than 50% built. I know a 
lot of discussion takes place here and its easy to forget who is into what, but 
I have been talking about replicating Ken's original KR1 all along, except for 
some sensible improvements to enhance reliability/safety. And it will be 
tri-geared. To that goal, I have purchased a set of new KR1 plans.
If I can find a stock KR1 boat stage that would fantastic and they do 
occasionally come up. 
My question was what to look for in terms of construction detail that may 
indicate a poor build, especially indications that the woodwork cannot be used.

Gary,
 You may be confused about the 50%. It is well explained in Kit Planes
magazine. The 50% applies to the build of the airplane. If you take over a
project that is over 50% amateur built by anyone it qualifies, the builder
doesn't have to be you. If you want a repair certificate for working on the
airplane you have to be listed as the builder when it is certified. They
explained a case where someone took over a project that had already
received an N number with another builder listed as the main builder. Even
though the buyer who took over the project did more than 50% he could not
get a repair certificate but he could get amateur built status on the
airplane. I just think you might be looking at the wrong criteria for your
objective.

KR> KR-1 Experimental Aircraft - $3100 (Pioneer, CA)

2016-05-15 Thread svd
TWIMC - Found this on Craigslist:

http://sacramento.craigslist.org/rvs/5586836702.html

Vintage 1970s KR-1 Aircraft, known as "The Eagle" was built in Ione, CA by the 
late Dr. Anthony Guidon, and featured in his book "A Plane Life". This airplane 
was flown in Ione and at Rancho Murietta Airport; but is now stored. Includes 
dash instruments, VW engine, detached wings. Needs some TLC and would make a 
great EAA restoration project. Serious inquiries only. Transportation not 
included.
