Hi, Terry!
There are a couple KR2 builders in the UK. One of them surprised us all
when he launched in a world tour with his KR. Went all the way to
Australia, despite an awful lack of preparation.
You don't have to import everything from the States, far from it. Here in
France, I know one guy who built everything from scratch, except for the
canopy, using only locally available supplies. As far as timber is
concerned, I am fairly sure there are sources of aircraft grade timber
near you, since a lot of wooden aircraft are being built in the UK. Just
contact the PFA and ask a few builders / rebuilders what kind of wood they
use, and where they buy it.
My 2 cents worth.

Hi All, this is my first posting.
Looked like a nice gathering of people 'n aircraft. Shame it all
happened over 5000 miles away.
I am in the UK, over in East Anglia, almost as far away from the US as
you can get in England.
Question:- Are there any/many KR2S builders in the UK, as I am looking
into this as a possible project.
The problem seems to be (apart from the restraints of the CAA/PFA) that
all material has to be sourced from the States. This means that timber
for example cost almost as much for shipping/delivery as it does to buy.
Anyway, good luck to all you existing builders, and may the space
between your bum and the ground never reduce faster than you intend....
