I have now finished my new replacement outer spars, they are great . I finished them a bit different to what some of the web sites talk = about, I finished the spars, then cut the taper, well planned the taper, = I use a large table open plain, this did a beautiful job , and only = needed about 6 to 8 passes on the table, they are very straight, and now = I can get into fitting the wingskins, as soon as I get some new ribs = done. I built the spar as per Dan Diehl plans. They are heaver then the KR ones but should be a lot stronger, e.g., = there is an inch of spar cap at the tips instead of 1/2 inch as the KR = plans use, I webbed both sides. What do you think of the New home built site? at least we how have more = items available. www.homebuilt-aviation.com Going to the Australian Air Rally this weekend, we are expending around = 250 aircraft, 450 people attending the Dinner Saturday night, should be = a great weekend.

Bob Stone, Harker Heights, Tx rstone4@hot.rr.com Gold Star Mothers You really should be sitting down when you read this one. Gold Star Mothers is an organization made up of women whose sons were killed in military combat during service in the United States armed forces. Recently a delegation of New York State Gold Star Mothers made a trip=20 to Washington, DC, to discuss various concerns with their elected=20 representatives. According to published reports, there was only one politician who=20 Refused to meet with these ladies. Can you guess which politician that might be? Was it New York Senator Charles Schumer? Nope, he met with them. Try again. Do you know anyone serving in the Senate who has never showed anything=20 but contempt for our military? Do you happen to know the name of any politician in Washington who's Husband once wrote of his loathing for the military? Now you're getting warm!=20 You got it! None other than the Queen herself, Hillary Rotten Clinton. She refused=20 repeated requests to meet with the Gold Star Mothers. Now, please don't tell me you're surprised. This woman wants to be President of the United States --- and there is a huge percentage of Voters who=20 are eager to help her achieve that goal. May you sleep in peace always...and please...hug or thank a Veteran=20 For that privilege. Think about this one !!! Don't forget, our girl, Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York Senator,=20 now comes under this fancy congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan. It's common knowledge that, in order for her to establish NYS=20 residency, they purchased a million+ dollar house in upscale=20 Chappaqua, NY. Makes sense. Now, they are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes interesting. The mortgage payments hover at=20 about $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residency had to be built=20 within the acreage in order to house the Secret Service agents. The Clinton's now charge the Secret Service $10,000 monthly rent for the Use of said Secret Service residence and that rent is just about equal to their mortgage payment, ........meaning that we, the tax payers, are paying=20 the Clinton's mortgage, their transportation, their safety and=20 security, their 12 man staff, and it's all perfectly legal. Sincerely, Cdr. Hamilton McWhorter USN (ret) PS: Please forward this to as many people as you can. We don't want=20 this woman to even think of running for President. So, just how many=20 people can you send this to?

What I'm trying to find out is how much does it take to smooth prime the KR-2? Poly-Fiber says that it takes about three gallons for the average homebuilt. The KR seems smaller than the average homebuilt to me so I was just curious what pratical experience has to say. Thanks, Alex __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I used three quarts on just the white stuff you see in the photo at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/02051816m.jpg , and that wasn't the full five coats on much of it. I think if you stretched it you might get away with two gallons, but three would certainly cover it. It also depends on how many pinholes you expect to have to fill. If you used peelply you might get by with 2 gallons, if not, and it's rough, I'd get three. I wouldn't buy it all at once unless you're going to use it all fairly quickly. If you let it sit on the shelf for 6 months the crosslinker will solidfy, although they will send you more for free if you ask.

Message-ID: As much as I would LOVE to build one, I don't have the time. So I was wondering if there is a web site or other resource that deals with people selling used KR2s. I have a SEL Private (need to be re-certified) and would like to hear comments on how to go about purchasing a KR2. How do you buy a used KR2? Getting it inspected etc. Airframe time. Are KR2s rated like GA aircraft? What type of FAA Piloting licensing is required? Do people tie their KR2s down at airports or do they cart them in on a trailer? Any other information that may be applicable. Thanks!

Some are kits in various stages of completion and others are finished and have been flying. Expect to pay anywhere from $3,000.00 to 7,000.00 for a started unfinished kit depending on what the builders has in the thing and from $12,000.00 to 16,000.00 for one completed and flying depending on how it is equipped Bob Stone, Harker Heights, TX rstone4@hot.rr.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Young" To: Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 1:46 PM Subject: KR> User KR-2s for Sale... > As much as I would LOVE to build one, I don't have the time.

At the end of his plans is a hand drawing for a wing joint cover that used a clamp that hooked onto the aft spar wing attach hardware. I think his idea was published in the KR News letter.
