KR> Pesak and Sylvester KR2Ss
Both Robert Pesak and Mike Sylvester have recently finished up and been flying their KR2S's, but they didn't make it to the KR Gathering. The three of us got together today down at Mike's airport, which is practically part of the Talladega Speedway in Alabama. We talked a while, joked a bit, froze our buns off, and then flew some. A picture of each (and a link to each of their planes) is located at the top of the KRnet webpage at http://www.krnet.org/. These are two very fine KRs, and will be in serious contention for the awards at the 2017 Gathering at Lee's Summit, Missouri in September.

KR> Update, fiberglassing Rt. Wing
Looking good Paul! Hopefully you can get away with minimal sanding and filling, but don't be concerned if it is not perfect. Sanding and filling builds "Character". Plus stronger arms of course.

KR> Partially completed Kr2s
I am trying to help sell a partially completed Kr2s tail dragger. The original builder has passed away. It is a plans built aircraft as far as I can tell. The craftsmanship is exceptional and dosent seem like it would take much time at all to complete the project. It is setup for a Volkswagen engine. For pictures please contact me offline. The asking price is 4500 to help pay for expenses and the plane is located in a hangar in Greenwood, South carolina. Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

The brackets move to the rear of >the spar and then swap sides, in the nosewheel configuration I wouldn't get too concerned on drilling the holes as: A. you'll probably never going to swap them side to side and B. If you do and the holes don't match (they'd probably have to be cnc drilled to do so anyway when swapping side to side/ front to back) just plug the old holes and move the brackets inboard or outboard an inch or so. Try not to over complicate the building process or it will never fly. :-) Larry Flesner --- The guy that started the project that eventually became my KR had drilled the spars to mount the gear as a nose-dragger. I left the nose-gear with him and turned the gear around to make it a tail-dragger when I bought the project. Sure glad I was ignorant about needing a CNC or moving the gear location to swap it. He drilled the holes true, and all I had to do was swap sides and turn the gear around. I really don't think of it as being over complicated to drill the holes true on the same pattern side to side. For that matter, I don't understand why one wouldn't at least attempt to do so. -Jeff Scott
KR> 2Si 2-stroke engine
The fuel burn on a 2 stroke is a lot higher than the VW/Cont.. Plus, you have to carry 2 stroke oil when travelling..

A zippy little plane, you can Google it, but the problem is that the 2-strokes are quite a bit lighter than any of the 4-strokes that are typically employed on KRs so it would require a longer engine mount and cowling for W? Probably not as exaggerated as Mike Ladigo's turbine engine powered KR, but longer than a VW or Corvair mount.
