Foam center with two layers of glass on the outside and one layer of glass on the inside. Dennis asked for feedback and one of my several observations and suggestions was to remove the brackets and cut lightening holes in the ribs. Several other areas of minor overbuild but overall I can't fault his workmanship. Larry Flesner ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.

Re: KR> KR 1 project
ok no retracts, duh, shoulda gone back and looked. ideally I'd like to build a tri-retract, original size KR1, with engine back against the firewall as original, and with a normalizing turbocharger. the main retracts are easy. the nose can swing back halfway into a center pocket (I think). as to a small normalizing turbocharger, tight squeeze and heat issues. which is why it would most likely be added later, in a phase two. point being, I am happy to see some added complexity is possible with enough thought and skill! ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.

I don't think he said retracts. He said it had tricycle gear. Normally these are tail draggers. In a message dated 1/2/2017 9:24:12 P.M.

Re: KR> KR 1 project
Well I must say Dennis is building very different from what is normally seen. The photos bring up a lot of questions. You may have mentioned it before, but is the sides of this fuselage fiberglass instead of plywood? Also are the rib to spar shelf brackets temporary? Neat canopy. I am thinking this guy has built things other than airplanes before. Great that he is building in a basement just like me!! Probably shouldn't have invited him to this group as it may corrupt him. I like that he has done so much without feedback, that he is building trike gear, and that he is building the best KR. A KR1. Kevin Golden Streak Shadow In a message dated 1/2/2017 4:39:17 P.M.
