KR> KR2 give-away, almost
It is nice to have someone share a passion, but from personal experience the
sharing part is rare (maybe it is just me). I have run hot motorcycles
(KZ750 very hot; 0 - 60 in 2.7 secs, Harleys and so on), cars ('69 Camaro
[big Block 11 second 1/4's], 69 GTX [very street in the 12's], currently '96
Firebird formula), and now I am going for the KR. NO ONE really wants to
(share) fly in the plane with me. Mark L's daughter is doing the deed
because she trusts "dad": when I told my 15 year old daughter that I could
get the car and the plane in my garage because the "wings came off" her
response was 'no way am I flying in that'.
I loved the night fire exercise with the M-16 during training in 1971.. go
figure: if you want to fly a 900 pound airplane at 18o mph... Some people
just have a different attitude about life I guess
Bought KR-2 project; I'm building in my living room (divorce has its'
advantages)

Yeah you could say so.. :-) When I bought the plans, I was going to
build a KR2-S, and an A gave me this project I just sold when I
sat in it, I realized I'd have to cut the boat and make it bigger if I
was to ever fly with a passenger larger than a puppy.

The Coot looks interesting, but the air car is HUGE !! Yes, 4x the money at least... hey, its 2100 # empty so I figure that's 4x the materials of the KR2... I'd like to apply some of the time savings from the Coot (composite hull) to the air car. I understand the air car as done in the plans is a very time consuming wood hull with complex structures... -dave Larry Flesner wrote: > At 06:52 AM 2/18/2009, you wrote: > >> Well, now that someone got my KR2 project for $461, I need to find an >> amphibian to build from plans..

I don't know why you didn't complete the KR, cost, time, or wrong airplane, but the Air Car will cost at least 4X more and take two or three times longer to build. Consider the Coot? Larry Flesner

Well, now that someone got my KR2 project for $461, I need to find an amphibian to build from plans.. My wife likes the Spencer Air Car, but I can't find anyone who's building / built one. Do any of you know such a person ? There also does not appear to be a builder's group. Thanks, -dave
