Robert, I'm planning on using the one peice spar as well. I can't seen to get the link to your webpage going. Can I have the address to your build log/ website.

KR> CAD wing template
I'm working on my KR1 new construction and would like to use the 48root/45 tip airfoil. I was hoping someone may have this on cad so I can have the templates laser cut. I have found the PDF file but need it in CAD. Thanks, Curry KR-1, Houma, Louisiana
KR> CAD
any one with the 48root/45tip templates on cad ?? thanks, Curry, Houma, La, KR1
KR> My Unveiling
Double nicethe finish looks perfect !!
KR> Another paint update.
Ray...Is Jutan the paint w/ the pinguin on the front? Where is New Orleans are you ?? I'm right here in Houma !! I also have some corvair stuff that may interest you as I have decided a Corvair is too large for my KR-1. Curry KR-1 Houma, La.
KR> KR-1 tail group--To Airfoil or Not to airfoil ?
After wicks called and said "Your lead time will be four weeks." I decided to start on the tail group to pass the time. My plans show the 5/8 square "tip rib" on the horizontal & vert stab...which is the way most Krs are looking when I check out the pictures everywhere. Langford redesigned his tail because he didn't stretch his fuse and wanted more pitch stability..I HAVE stretched my fuse 10" so can I just use the stock setup like most people? Or should I also do the tail mod ? Curry Houma, Louisiana
KR> Thanks everyone for the advice
My non-stop questions have been getting plenty answers and I want to thank everyone for the input. Curry Houma, La.
KR> dream or build
Well that's it !!! Built a table, recieved my plans, ordered from wicks, bought some clamps and a laser level..no more dreamin'...time for building
KR> Richard Shirley's gear.
Thanks for the reply...so he is using a one piece design thenI noticed his gear look to be mounted forward of the spar ( or so it looks). I would like to incorporate the design into my KR1. I'm also thinking of doing the one piece laminated capstrip spar as mentioned by Langford. This will prohibit me from removing my wings but the span is only 17ft. The upside is easy building and strength with none of the stub wing fuel tank issues. Curry Houma, Louisiana
KR> A little more flying,N357CJ, 3100cc
Wow that's great...reading the stories of you guys that are flying is really nice...I'm just starting on building but all the advice and web sites are making it easier on guys like myself. How many flight hours did you have before getting in a KR ?? Curry Houma, La.
KR> How many flight hours before flying KR ??
How many flight hours did you guys have before trying out a KR ?? I'm a student pilot wondering what it takes to tame one of these things.. Curry
KR> KR-1 cabin width
There is a lot of talk about how narrow this cockpit is but when I look at the plans I'm seeing a 38.75 fuse width. Am I missing something? Anyone know what gear Richard Shirly has on his KR1 ? Thanks, Curry
KR> KR-1 cabin width
H gggeeeupon looking at my plans again I have noted I was adding the top and bottem length together.KR-1 plans are a bit lacking...indeed the width is 19 I never knew what kit plane I wanted until i saw Richards..that thing is double sweetwhat kind of engine is he installing ? Anyone running the new airfoils on a KR1? I would guess they would work just as well on a shorter wing..any opinions ?? Curry
KR> New build : what do I buy first ??
Ok my KR-1 plans will be in this weekso besides building the table, Spruce and ply from wicks, and a quart of T-88What should I be looking at buying to get going ?? I'm excited to join the KR movement !! curry
KR> Engine Options
anyone know someone running a geo in anything...would like to get some first hand talk on the subject
KR> KR1 w/ Corvair
I have a Corvair but I'm thinking I want a KR1..It seems like a overkill...should I be looking at a VW ? Anyone know the weight difference between the 2 ? thanks. curry
