Good afternoon, I just received some information about an up and coming trip to Fairfield, CA in January. Are there any KR-2/2S owners that are around that area? I am interested in finding someone who would be able to meet me at Nut Tree Airport so I can get some ideas on how to finish m

KR> Phase 1 and Phase 2 flight testing

2015-10-23 Thread T. W. Norman
Good morning, I have been doing some research on the flight testing for my KR-2. I'm not planning on getting in the air with the aircraft until the spring, so I think this winter I'm going to develop the plans for the flight tests. One question I've been wondering is simply how many hours o

Good evening, again, I've been going through the archives and found some lite information about antennas. Are you guys mounting the antennas inside of the aircraft? I have a comm/nav antenna, and a transponder antenna. What have you guys found was a good place to mount them? Thanks!

Good afternoon, Thanks for all the responses on the CF and FG question.I found it very helpful! Now, for another question! While I'm finishing up with the exterior work, I'm beginning to look inside of the aircraft. One thing that I noticed is there is some (what I presume) to be wasted

I'm looking at installing Wig-Wag Recognition lights at the tips of the wings. So, anyone have any suggestions or experiences with this process? Cutting out a portion of the leading edge? Mounting them and so on? Thanks!

2015-09-25 Thread T. W. Norman
Good evening, I managed to get started on a good chunk of smaller projects to finish the larger picture. But I do have one question, has anyone combined fiberglass with carbon fiber in their projects? For example the instrument panel, leading edge and so on. I have completed a carbon-fi
