Are you saying the tail wheel crushed the into the structure in the back?? wouldn't that need the framing redone there?

Where repairing the wood skin, use wood. Then if you want to put a light layer of glass over it, that will be good. For fiberglass skin, I would do exactly what you are planning. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2011 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il - MVN There is a time for building and it never seems to end. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC -Original Message- I plan to repair the skin damage by using a hole saw or similar to cut out the fractured skin, glue in a plug of foam and then use fibreglass with epoxy resin to repair the skin.

I recently imported a KR2 from Canada and unfortunately it has sustained some skin damage around the wing stub area in particular and has a big bruise (crush) on the underside of the rudder where the tailwheel has crushed the bottom of the structure. I plan to repair the skin damage by using a hole saw or similar to cut out the fractured skin, glue in a plug of foam and then use fibreglass with epoxy resin to repair the skin. I'm not sure about the bottom of the rudder . Any comments and advice would be gratefully received! Regards Martin Pearce rocketdri...@optusnet.com.au
