You guys are really making me feel good about my KR. When I first finished it,
my 721# KR was refered to as fat, bloated, overweight and a few other less than
kind adjectives despite being a much larger plane than the KRs of that day.
Turns out to be right in the same weight class as the two

I'm not exactly sure what it was that I left out, but hope it wasn't
important! All I can think of at the moment would be the kitchen sink.
There are several places where rethinking and redoing things (like the
airfoils)
Your plane sure looks great Mark, I can't wait to hear about your first
flight.

One of the many reasons that I stick with the KR is because it is designed
to be powered by auto engines. There is no way that I could ever afford to
buy an aircraft engine, let alone, maintain one.

So... your airplane came in 39 lbs. lighter than Mark Jones'. At about
8.554 lbs. per gallon of sweat, that's only an additional 4.56 gallons of
