I take a lot of heat from co-workers because I have an airplane in progress in my living room... of course I'm single, so (as they say) your mileage may vary.

This is great to get these totals. I do plan to buy the wing skins. Probably fab everything else per the original way. A full time job is 2000 hours per year. Robert, 1500 hours is on the low side of these times. Did you use any prefab parts like wing skins? what was ur experience prior to starting to build the KR? and why would you say you were faster than others? skill, work environment, tools? My current house doesnt have a garage. I do have a 20x30 fabric hangar at the airport but it's three season due to the bottom has to be open for wind compliance (which makes it complaint to over 100MPH winds). Of course there is nothing stopping me from (I JUST realized!!!) building a 16x20 work shed INSIDE my hangar, and heat it with a herosene heater or something to get 4 seasons out of it! > CC: chrisprata at live.com > From: robert7721 at aol.com > Subject: Re: KR> Hours to build? > Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 11:11:06 -0600 > To: gary769rv at verizon.net; krnet at list.krnet.org > > 1500 hours, less than $15k with basic instruments and used Revmaster VW. > > > > On Jan 26, 2015, at 8:37 AM, Gary via KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> wrote: > > > > hour & $$$ > > > > Chris Prata via KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> wrote: > > > > Min 1500 hours, $29k and counting but with new o200 & glass panel. > > > > Gary > > > > > > Here's another noob question.
