KR> Building sequence

Hi Lee, I've always thought that, perhaps, more KRs would get completed if the wings were built first. It seems that a lot of people get hung up after building the fuselage because: 1) some are afraid of the fiberglassing part 2) some spend too much time sitting in the fuselage making

KR> Building sequence

Yes, fuselage first. This is because the entire KR is built upon itself. Each step sort of forms the "JIG" for the next step. If I were building again, what I would not do is build out the wing stubs, until I finished the fuselage, to eliminate having to lean over the wing stub for

KR> Building sequence

It seems like most (all?) KR builders are beginning with the fuselage. Does the construction have to begin with the fuselage, or can you build wings & empennage first? Workshop space is limited, and it's easier to store flat pieces out of the way than it is to work around an assembled fuselage.

Your main challenge on a KR is stall speed. If you don't build it very light, I do not think you will be able to meet this requirement. Remember this is "clean" stall, no flaps. Dan Heath > On Jan 31, 2014, at 11:35 AM, Dj Merrill wrote: > >> On 01/31/2014 02:21 AM, Mike T wrote: >> These

I'm still trying to decide whether to build a KR-2 or a Thatcher CX4, a recent single-seat aluminum LSA design. These two designs aren't as far apart as they seem, because a KR-2 can also be LSA compliant. It already makes the LSA stall speed if you keep it light, and I could use a smaller VW
