KR> Plywood orientation
For the spars you must put the primary grain of the plywood in the vertical. Plywood comes in 4-foot widths, but you need more than 7-foot width. So, you need to scarf 2 pieces to get the width and keep the vertical orientation. Common size for plywood is 8-foot length. So, you need to scarf pieces to make the fuselage sides and bottom. The scarf joint should be centered on a vertical brace for the side and on a horizontal brace for the bottom of the fuselage. You need to plan ahead where scarf joints will be and still get the ends to the firewall and rudder. These best practices can be found in FAA AC 43.13-1B - Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection and Repair, Chapter 1, Figure 1-16. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/99861 Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA - I am putting my KR2S spruce and plywood list together in order to get a quote from Wicks. Looking at the plywood on their website, I see that there are mahogany plywood orientations (angle) of 45 degree and 90 degree. The plans are not clear as to which to use and I did not find anything in the archive. Thanks Gary Wold -- you can use your 90 degree mahogany plywood. You have to use birch on the spars Paul Visk Belleville Il 618 506 4705

Wicks has a "cut sheet that they use." It is for the standard measurements from the plans. If you are going to change any of your measurement your going to need to tweak the cuts a little. If you don't, you will have a lot of extra wook that will be short. ?With the price of the kit. There is no kit discount. You pay for what you get. So there is no penalty for changes. ? I have driven?down to Wicks many times because of my alterations and I have learned a lot about there spruce kit.? Tom is right. ?Eric, the general manager of Wicks and his people are super. If you ever drive through southern Illinois. ?Stop by and he will be more than happy to give you a tour.

Call Wicks on the phone because they have sold many KR2S wood "kits" including mine and they already have the wood lists for each of the variants KR1, KR2 and KR2S. Also look under airplane KITS on their web page. They don't have the KR2S listed right now but they do have the 1 and 2 listed there. They also have a picture of N891JF in flight. Wicks acutally built one of the first KR's so they should know a lot about them. They were very nice and easy to talk to. So "CALL" them on the phone instead of trying to piece together a kit a few pieces at a time on the web site.

KR> Plywood orientation/how much T-88
I'm almost done with my gallon kit and I ordered another quart in case I run out. That being said, I was quite liberal with my T-88 when making my spars and had a lot of squeeze out. I don't anticipate using the rest of my quart. Chris Pryce

You can probably pick up the T-88 locally so you can get it when you need more. I also used about 2 quarts. Wood crafters supply carries it. I used 90 degree plywood.
