I will try to find the book you mention and I will definitely not be shopping at Lowes as I plan to live to a ripe old age. I have been flying mostly Cessna's and a few hours in other spam cans. I have not found any other homebuilders in this area , but I know there are some in the Norfolk Va. area, ( about 100 miles from home ). I am trying to locate some of them and hopefully find a Kr2s builder there. I appreciate your advice and will certainly heed it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "AUnderwood" <korva...@earthlink.net> To: "KRnet" <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 11:59 AM Subject: Re: KR> Kr2s building advice
