"How much epoxy (ie gallons) is typically used on a KR2S " Dan,
Allow me to skew the numbers you have seen so far. As I approach the end of the build it is one of the things I really try and not focus on too much. The number of boxes of tongue depressors, Dremel tools, and gallons of acetone I have been through is pretty high and I will explain the reasons for it. I bet I have two gallons of Safety Poxy in the wood airframe itself. I started with a stretched and widened KR-2 before the 2S became available so all fiberglass airframe parts became custom. I am probably into my fifth gallon of West system by now. Between the rear turtle deck, canopy frame, instrument panel, forward turtle deck, stub wings, wing root fairings, and tail feather fairings it adds up. All of these components are removable which means they are glassed inside and out. This was done with the pledge of never spending another day on my back under the instrument panel of a Mooney. I can remove the entire top of my airplane in just a few minutes. Obviously, I pay a weight penalty for this but the extent has yet to be determined. One thing that took up a lot of the resin was my wheel pants. I was stupid enough to make my own molds because I couldn't find any that I liked. Yes, now I have the experience of building my own molds and vacuuming my own components. If you or anyone else finds themselves in this boat I would suggest you keep looking! Four months out of the build that I will never get back. Long story short, I guess it depends on how you build it.
