KR> KR1
Hello, I have a stock KR-1 and I am 5'4" tall and weigh 165 pounds. You would have to stretch it to be able to fit into it. I have a friend that is 6'2" tall and he couldn't fit all the way into it because his legs were too long and he couldn't arch them very much because his knees were hitting the fuel tank. My feet touch the pedals perfectly. I have no regrets having a KR-1 but if I were starting over again, I would have gone with a KR2 or 2S because there is really no room to carry much stuff.

KR> WAF
I would build a new spar. If you don't, it will always be in the back of your mind while you are flying that there could be a problem, that is why I don't take any chances. You have enough to think about while you are flying and the thought of a potential failure from taking a shortcut should not be in your mind at all. Steve In spite of using the WAF drilling the main spar I missed a little bit. Is it permissible to use T88 and a 3/16 wood dowl to plug the mistake or do I have to make a new spar?

Hello everyone, I have a pair of wings for my KR1 that I am repairing. I bought some West System 105 epoxy, 205 hardener, and the pumps to make sure that I dispense the right amount every time.

If anyone could give me some tips on how to speed up drying time I would greatly appreciate it. Also, is this the normal drying time for this brand? Thank you, Steve
