Sorry to tell you Don, but you did post to the KRNet and I'm glad you did. Have you got photos of your jig or can you please describ it in more detail as I cannot get a mental picture from you email below.
There are always multiple was to do a job, and most are effective. I'm looking for what is effecient (for me). I intend to build a KR2S from scratch at sometime as I only built mine from the firewall forward. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Don Chisholm To: KRnet Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2005 8:31 AM Subject: Re: KR> Start build from the wings Hi Dubi; my name is Don Chisholm I live in Oshawa Ontario Canada I'm posting this to you off line because the KR experts on line seem to disagree with me about building wings first and it doesn't seem to make any difference that I'm building my second KR and have extsnsive aircraft experience but when I built my KR1 I found that building the airplane full planform to be a pain in the butt especially when it came time to build the outer wing panels and thought there had to be a better way so I built my second wing set in roll over jig made from angle iron and found that it was much easier to build my outer wing panels . also I shaped my foam cores from extruded polystyrene insulation foam Varieze style which is readily available from building supply houses is cheaper than ridgid polyurethane and has a superior structural value and urethane foam is nasty to shape and easy to screw up with when you 're shaping your cores. the idea is to mount your center section spar set in a jig to maintain alignment and to be able to fit your fuselage into the jig to be able mount the center spars to the fuselage this might sound complicated but think about it, eventually the light bulb will go on in your brain. I'd never build another KR any other way Don C chizmsupholst...@rogers.com Dubi Gefen <dub...@maanit.org.il> wrote: Hello KRnet I made decision to start build the aircraft from the wings first and then continue to fuselage. Are there any builder thinking there can be problem with this process steps? Dubi Gefen.
