KR> Building sequence

It seems like most (all?) KR builders are beginning with the fuselage. Does the construction have to begin with the fuselage, or can you build wings & empennage first? Workshop space is limited, and it's easier to store flat pieces out of the way than it is to work around an assembled fuselage.

KR> Building sequence

Yes, fuselage first. This is because the entire KR is built upon itself. Each step sort of forms the "JIG" for the next step. If I were building again, what I would not do is build out the wing stubs, until I finished the fuselage, to eliminate having to lean over the wing stub for everythin

KR> Building sequence

Hi Lee, I've always thought that, perhaps, more KRs would get completed if the wings were built first. It seems that a lot of people get hung up after building the fuselage because: 1) some are afraid of the fiberglassing part 2) some spend too much time sitting in the fuselage making airplane
