I have bought only from highly regarded, by the KRNet, suppliers and found missing parts, unfinished work, parts that don't fit, etc. >I have a motor mount on this KR and had one on the first KR and had no >problems with either of them.

The openings are loose for AN5 bolts, but AN6 WILL NOT GO IN without reaming. This means that I need to spend days trying to find a 3/8" ream. >And another thing, if you like sports cars, you will love flying a KR. I >know because I flew one for 6 years and had a blast doing it. > I am a military trained pilot with 14,000 hours. I also have studied aeronautics in college. I know what a well built KR2 is capable of. This is why I intend to find a way to finish the plane, but I stand by my complaint that the suppliers are the reason that 85% of builders do not finish. It is scarry that the best are this sloppy. Or, maybe, no one else has gotten consistently poor parts with no QC and little documentation! I have not received a single part from any supplier that did not require grinding, re-taping, or parts additions, even when I bought a series of supposedly compatible components. See you in Red Oak - 2003 I wish I could be there, but my plane is not moving forward rapidly. I spend 95% of my building time trying to fix bad parts.
