Ok, I got the KR-1 form a friend that had it stored forever. It was however, in far worse shape than I had thought that it was. I firgure that it is repairable, but I am in the process of calculating how much time and money it will take. Upon investigation, I discovered that the sheer web of the main center spar has the grain running horizontal. Looking at the manual, it shows that the grain is to be verticle. I am just learning about wood structure airplanes, so help here is REALLY needed. There are some big RED flags that I see in the construction of this plane. Am I correct in thinking that having the sheer web grain in the wrong direction is a really bad thing? I have some grave concerns now about restoring this plane. Thanks for any help steve...@gmail.com
