KR> Trim Rings
I might be able to help you. I am a mechanical/aerospace/electronics engineer/A&P/radome repairman/motorcycle-auto-aircraft enthusiast/designer/manufacturer/jack-of-all-trades.LOL Also design/build/sell motorcycle accessories at www.the-biker-toy-store.com. Work has been almost non-existent for a few years and I am looking for any opportunities to work. I could provide the rings you need in AL or ABS or molded plastic. If you are interested contact me at j.cradd...@sbcglobal.net if you prefer. I do not want to turn this site into a commercial for me. Circumstances force me to give up building a KR.

I built a new panel for my KR2 using aluminum, covered by carbon fiber for the face. It is VERY pretty, however because the CF is on top of the instruments, one can see the rough edges of the holes cut into the CF. I have been searching for months to find a company (or someone) that can cut some simple trim rings out of plastic, aluminum, etc. I'm coming up dry. In a nutshell, the rings would be 2.25 or 3.125 ID, and about 1/8" wide, and maybe a max. of 1/16" thick. Just precision cut rings out of some cheap, black plastic would be excellent! Someone, somewhere knows of someone, somewhere, that can make nice cuts in plastic that will give the panel the final touches. Just simple rings that can be glued to the CF and cover the rough edges in it is all that I'm trying to do. Can anybody help me? Thanks! Also, if anybody needs to see the pictures of where we are right now, please advise and I'll send them to you.

KR> paint or glass
The figerglass provides more strength and stiffness (less flexing) than the wood. I would not consider omitting it. Major reduction in strength and stiffness. --- On Sun, 3/7/10, rkp...@comcast.net wrote: From: rkp...@comcast.net Subject: KR> paint or glass To: "krnet" List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Sunday, March 7, 2010, 6:02 PM Hi Mike I personally think covering all wood surface should be covered with with deck cloth , this will keep small cracks from showing up later on. ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
KR> KR-2 PLANS
I offered a set of plans for sale and got several replies, then selected the first response. The deal was not completed so here I am again. I am a bit long in the tooth for building or flying a KR. These plans are about 20 years old and are in fair condition, but not perfect. One drawing has one damaged area with information for a bellcrank. The plans are unused in that no airplane was completed. A KR was started. but not completed and has since been destroyed. Priority mail is $10+ and I will want something for my time to box them and go stand in line at the PO. Anyone interested please make an offer. I am cleaning up and next week they will be in the mail or in the trash. Please make offer only if you intend to follow through. Thanks Johnny Cradduck
KR> KR-2 PLANS
I received several replies from people wanting the plans I offered. The only fair way I could think of was to let them go to the first one (for a price, of course). I am keeping the other emails and if there should be a glitch of some kind I would go down the list. Thanks. I have a variety of parts that are not accessible right now. When I have time to see what I have, I will be back. Johnny
KR> KR-2 Plans
Several years ago I bought a partial KR-2 kit and never found the time to build. I still have the unused plans for KR-2, not KR-2S. I am too old for that kind of airplane now. Need to get the plans to someone who can use them. I would sell the plans for $60 including Priority Mail. Anybody interested?
KR> KR2S Plans
I tried to make a postive reply to your question and my email was not delivered. Could there be an error in the email listed?

KR> KR NEWSLETTERS
At one time I had planned to build a KR. Several things got in the way and it never happened. I have faced the fact that I don't have the time and energy to do it so I am cleaning house. I have several years of KR Newsletters that I need to dispose of. I would give them to a serious builder. I prefer to not pack and ship. I live in central OK and travel to Dallas, TX often. If you are interested and live in either of these areas or near I-35 in between, let me know. Johnny Cradduck
KR> epoxy / resin
Be careful with the resin that has begun to harden. If it is just that it is cold and needs to come back to room temp, then no problem. If it has actually begun to harden and requires elevated temp to flow, then the cross linking within the resin has begun. It can be heated and used. I have done so on non-critical applications; however, the final bond strength will be reduced. On aircraft structure, that could spoil your whole day. Be careful. --- On Thu, 12/18/08, Mark Jones wrote: From: Mark Jones Subject: Re: KR> epoxy / resin To: eduna...@yahoo.com, "KRnet" List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Thursday, December 18, 2008, 3:53 PM Eduardo wrote: i noticed that the resin (t88) got hard... what do you suggest me to do? Hi Eduardo, Put it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Longer if needed. You should be good to go. You could also use hot water but that will take longer.

KR> CANOPY
For several years I gathered parts and did some work toward building a KR. Various situations have prevented me from accomplishing that goal. It is time for me to face the reality that I am not going to build the KR. I am cleaning up and will have a few items for sale. Hope to get things out of my way and equally important let someone get some use from them. Most is in storage and not eaisily accessible. Right now I have a new KR-2 canopy available. It is several years old, but still has the plastic wrap and is undamaged. I would like $200 for it. I will not pack and ship. Can be picked up in Norman, OK. For small fee I can deliver near Oklahoma City, OK, Dallas, TX, or in between. If you call me, please leave a message. I am not at the phone most of the time. Johnny Cradduck 405-360-0251
