KR> KR-2 For Sale

2012-01-14 Thread kr1pi...@aol.com
To all KR-Netters,

It has come time for me to give up on my dreams of completing my KR-2. So  
now I need to find a new home for her. Hopefully one who will enjoy 
completing  the build process and letting her take to the air...

The boat portion of the fuselage is completed as well as the wing stubs.  
She sits on original RR landing gear. Tail features are built and installed. 
I  have the original engine cowling as well as the original canopy and 
frame. They  have not been installed at this time.

I also have two (2) corvair engines number correct per WW info. Both  
motors are complete. One is in the process of being torn down.

Send all inquires to Paul @ _kr1pilot@hotmail.com_

The KR-2 is located in Central Florida. Lakeland area.

For More information The aircraft has and will continue to be placed on

out of my control.

Thanks,

Paul 




KR> Kr-2 Project For Sale

2011-09-26 Thread kr1pi...@aol.com
To KR Knetters,

Health matters have dictated an end to my dream.. I have a KR-2 In canoe  
form with wing stubs attached and sitting on original KR retractable landing  
gear. Vertical and horizontal tail feathers are attached and front and rear 
wing  spars have been built but not attached.

I have the original nose cowling, canopy. Needs a turtle deck  built.

Along with the project I have (2) 66 110hp corvair engines to go along with 
 the project. (1) engine is in the tear down stage and the other is 
complete and  not been taken apart... I will sell the engines separate of the 
KR-2  
but I would like to sell the engines together.

I am not parting out pieces off the project so please don't ask.

Feel free to E-Mail Paul @  _Kr1pilot@aol.com_ (mailto:kr1pi...@aol.com) 

The project is located in Lakeland Florida..

Regards,

Paul

KR> Corvair Head

2011-06-14 Thread kr1pi...@aol.com
This is just a brief note to the net.

My name is Paul and am working on a life long dream of a KR-2 here in Polk  
City, close to Lakeland, Fl.

I have recently located a corvair engine but find one of the heads to be  
defective. Head number 3856743.

Haven't had any luck on finding a replacement. So I turn to the folks on  
the net, to help in my search. 

I appreciate any leads someone may have. The net has been very informative, 
 and I thank all who have shared ideas.

Again Thanks,

Paul

KR> KR-2 Center Spar Inspection

2010-08-02 Thread kr1pi...@aol.com
Hi KR'ers!

I am in the process of picking up the construction  efforts on a  KR-2 I 
have inherited from my father in-law who has since  passed. What I have 
established is he bought the plane in its  construction phase from a previous 
builder. 

My question is I have a KR-2 fuselage sitting on RR landing gear with  
completed tail section, but looking through his paper work on the plane I see 
no 
 log or paper work indicating a center spar inspection.

Note the center spars were installed prior to him purchase the plane so I  
suspect he never received any indication of the center spar being inspected  
prior to webbing being installed..

Would appreciate any ideas what my next step would be to correct this over  
sight.. I really don't want to go in and tear things apart.

Thanks!

Paul,
Lakeland, Florida


KR> KR-2 Front Wing Spar Lamination

2010-07-17 Thread kr1pi...@aol.com
Hello to all net members,

I guess now it's my time to ask a question of the knowledge base out  there.

I have inherited a KR-2 and plan on taking it to flying status and my  
question is the canoe is completed. Wing stubs and landing gear are in place. 

1) I am now looking at building the outer front and rear wing spars. Since  
I have been out of the building process for a while I am looking for  
recommendations as to what type of epoxy are suitable for laminating the 
forward  
spars... Guess I looking for what guys are using these days.

2) Second question is very interested in installing a corvair engine as the 
 power plant and wondering where everyone  is locating their engines -  
Haven't had any luck here so far...

Any information will be appreciated and thanks for all the info on the  net 
guys.
