KR> A Few questions from a porspective builder.

[Scott Cable]

Ray,
I built my own turtledeck and used a Todd's Canopy.  My boat was widened 3 
inches and the Todd Canopy fit perfectly.  Todd's also makes them up to 6 
inches wider.  A friend built and is now just recently flying a Longeze with a 
Todd's canopy and we were both very happy with the quality and the service.
You can see how I built my upper fuselage at:
http://www.kr-builder.org/ScottCable/index.html

If you are not a real tall person, you might be able to "stretch" the widened 
canopy out as much as the 44" width, but check with Todd Silver first.
His website:
http://www.toddscanopies.com/

As far as building your own Canopy, as Dan Heath says "don't even go there".
Check out Dan & Jerry's website at:
http://www.kr-builder.org/NewCanopy/index.html or
http://www.kr-builder.org

Dan and Jerry have a beautiful little bird that's just about ready to leap into 
the air. They have allot of really great ideas in there also...

Happy building!





1. I have read in the archives that some have been able to make the cabin as 
wide as 40 inches. Could this be made as wide as 42 or 44 inches? 

2. If one does make their cabin wider, are there readily accessable canopies 
out there or is that something that I'd have to scratch build?

KR> A Few questions from a porspective builder.

[Ray Murphy]

Hello,
I live in Bandon, Oregon and I am wondering if there are any builders resonably 
close to Bandon.  I'd like to be bable to see a KR up close and personal.

1. I have read in the archives that some have been able to make the cabin as 
wide as 40 inches.  Could this be made as wide as 42 or 44 inches?  

2.  If one does make their cabin wider, are there readily accessable canopies 
out there or is that something that I'd have to scratch build?

Thanks for any answers I might get.

Yes you can, but you will pay a price for every change.  Todd can make a
canopy to fit whatever you do and they are very reasonable.

Hi Ray,

A good way to get answers to questions like you asked, is to go to the 
archives. There is a lot of good info there on widening the fuselage, canopies 
etc.

You don't really have to "be bable" to see a KR up close.   I'd be happy to
make you that way, but I'm fresh out of eye-of-newt!

The answer to this one (and some questions you don't even know you have yet)
are at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/kopinion.html .

Now that I'm a little smarter about KRs, I'm going to systematically go
through all my webpages and update them a little...
