I don't know if Ron is An upholsterer /Canvass guy but I'm the person that suggested the Odyssey Soft Touch And I already have a Pattern for a Stock KR2 Canopy Cover and I'd be interested in patterning up wing covers , turtle deck, tail covers and cowling covers I manufacture seat sets for Smith Aviation SuperCub replica's www.replicap18@execulink,com and am self employed as an Upholsterer and specialize in aircraft related interiors and covers and have at my disposal a stock KR2 And KR2S to pattern from and can probably pattern to make universal covers Ron, If you have the skills to make custom covers for KR Aircraft and want to make some extra bucks I believe there is a market. Every airport I have been to or know about in my area has a waiting list for hanger space. The KR was never designed to be left outside in the weather and removing and replacing the wings to trailer back and forth to and from the airport is not practical. The alternitive is a cover that covers the aircraft completly and I think you could make these and sell them. I hope some of you guys will chime in on this one and prove that I am correct when I say, "There is a market"
