KR> Finishing a composite plane.

[Mark Jones]

Since all the questions about filling and painting have been popping up lately, 
I thought I would post this link again. It has valuable information on 
finishing a composite plane.

This is probably true. My problem is that the KR2 that I am trying to 
finish was started in 1971. The plans say nothing about the firewall, let 
alone give shape or dimensions. Could someone tell me the materials to use 
- wood type, etc.?

Larry,

There are templates for cutting out the firewall.  If you don't have the
templates, I suggest that you buy a new set of plans.

You need a complete set of plans for your project!  There is a full-sized 
firewall template included with both KR2 and -2S plans, as well as more 
detail on firewall construction than it sounds like you have.  Contact me 
off-net and I'll see if we can get you in business.

And as far as shifting engine weight forward, my own observation is that 
planes flying with stock VW type setups in a KR2 have some extension spools, 
but certainly not 5".  Now Mike Ladigo's setup, as seen at 
http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/97bb.jpg , has a bit more than this but 
it's a kerosene burner ;o)

Hi Larry, 
 I think you're only a few miles from Rand Robinson (Huntington Beach).  
Check out their site (www.fly-kr.com) and you'll have a source to find just 
about anything you need. On their price list "Firewall Plywood" is listed at 
$65.00.  Don't know if it comes with a template/is already cut/or?
 Anyway, I'm in a kinda-like situation and am having fun sourcing stuff.  
(Anybody out there have a set of spats for a fixed tri setup???)
While I'm at it, has anybody done a gas strut setup for side opening 
canopy? 
Best,

The plans are listed on www.fly-kr.com
Just go to the price list for whichever KR you are interested in and the
plans and prices are listed. Don't try to call RR. Just go ahead and order
what you want and you'll get it.

Actually, the KR2 plan price is not listed. Also, the original builder 
added 2" width at the cockpit. So, I do not know that a cutout firewall 
plywood would be the right fit. Having an actual profile, I can adjust as 
appropriate.

It is, but you have to go to the KR2S listing to find it.
KR-2S Price List



KR-2 Builder’s Manual and Plans - $165.00
KR-2S Supplemental Plans - $75.00 

I tried to talk to Jeanette at last year's gathering, about helping her with
the site, but she said that she already had plans under way to make things
better.  Nothing has changed.  I was even willing to handle e-mails for her,
but she really didn't want to talk about it.  I really wish she would let
someone help her bring the marketing of the KR into the 19th century.


I looked at the wing skins for the KR2S and they look really good.  She
needs pics for the other products also.

Virg, don't you have any influence with her?

Maybe the reason she didn't really want to talk about it is because I'd
already talked her in to letting ME help her out with the website.  It
hadn't been touched in over 3 years when Mike Stearns was "helping" do that
job, so my first order of business was go through it and fix, modify, or
kill all the broken links (which was most of them), and basically added a
big fat link to www.KRnet.org , which is where majority of KR information is
anyway.  I also fixed a whole bunch of blatant spelling, grammatical, and
technical errors, rewording some things to be technically correct, and
updated a few things to make it look like it hadn't been three years since
anybody'd updated it. I also updated the KR photo on the main page to one
that I took of Jim Faughn's very stock KR2 at Red Oak.  I have not been
given license to change anything without her permission, and I respect that
rule.  And it doesn't make sense for me to expend a bunch of time and effort
adding all of the same information to her site that's already at
www.krnet.org .

But like you say, it sure wouldn't hurt for her to show a little more detail
on the parts that she has for sale, maybe pdf'ing her pictorial price list
that you get when you buy the info pack.  I also solicted a new set of price
lists from her and updated them about a year ago, but have been trying to
get plans prices for months (my calls aren't returned either), since a whole
bunch of people email me privately looking for that information.  Anybody
know the KR1 plans price?  The fact that there is none shown has led more
than one person to decide that they are no longer available, but I doubt
that.   Now that Dan has pointed out where to find the KR2 price, the KR1
plans price is the only one I'm lacking.  I will fix them both before the
day is over, if somebody will let me know the price of the KR1 plans.  One
thing I'll say to her credit is that these prices rarely change.  Five years
for an increase is pretty commendable.

Don't think for a second that this means that I'm affiliated with Rand
Robinson in any way.  I've taken on this chore in an effort to dissiminate
the information that prospective builders need to get started.  And I have
no inside track as to what's going on at RR.   I do it for free, and George
Majewski is hosting her site on his web server as a free service to the KR
cause.  Jeannette says she's getting a computer in the next few months and
will start accepting email, so progress is being made.  The website we've
been talking about is at www.fly-kr.com .  I'll add her email address to
that site when (if) it becomes available.

By the way, she once told me that her name is spelled JEANNETTE, with two
N's and two T's.  I sure hope I wasn't imagining that, and that I've been
misspelling it for 8 years...
