Well, since the subject of wings has come up, I might as well let the cat out of the bag. In addition to Dan D's wing skins, Rand-Robinson wing skins are also available and much more affordable than previously listed. I have recently acquired all tooling/ molds for all prefabricated components for the KR series of aircraft. This includes canopy frames, turtle decks, wing skins, fuels tank, Revmaster Kr-2 and KR-2S and standard KR 2 cowlings, basically all of it. Jeanette and I have reached an agreement where as I will now own the mold and will produce/ supply components, parts, and possibly more. Further details will have to wait until Jeanette returns from her trip at the end of July for the details to be ironed out. We plan on offering several services from builder's assistance to assembly of aircraft right here in our facility. Once we have had a chance to finish setting up shop, Parts and supplies should be more readily available and communication a bit easier. We are working on a web site so those who wish to do so can order online. The parts have previously been constructed from honey comb and pre-preg which has kept the price climbing. They are pretty parts and great if going on a Lancair but it is over kill for the KR series of aircraft as well as builders budgets. The new parts will be Last-a-foam core and vacuum bagged. Still plenty strong and light as evidenced by Dan Diehl's wing skins. We will be using epoxy as opposed to vinylester resin. There are several other exciting thing planned which include "Box to Boat TM" fast build kits you can assemble in 2 to 3 days. There will be very limited jigging and you will be ready for your plywood skins in no time. Well, there it is lots of new exciting stuff in the works. If anyone is in need of any prefab or custom parts just send me an e-mail off the net and I we'll get you rolling (or flying as the case may be.J ) Happy Building!
