KR2

The KR2 pictures are all taken since the end of September 2007. The plane had been in a storage unit for several years and hadn't been worked on. As a result of attendance at Oshkosh '06 I decided to do away with the retract gear and install the Diehl fixed gear. At the same time I'm adding the Dr. Dean hinges to the elevator and redoing the elevator control assembly with an internal counterbalance like Mark Langford. I've removed the single control stick and installed a dual stick assembly also as per Mark Langford's design. All improvements to the basic KR2 design. This is a regluar KR2 and not the "S" version. It's cold in the hangar this winter but work is going to go on no matter what. More to come.

Progress report.
I see your last entry is a year ago. What progress have you made in the past year? I am currently a want-a-be builder and am looking for encurragement.


Further Progress
More work done since the last post a long time ago. Now the antenna is installed in the back. An RST Engineering antenna kit (nice kit) that picks up Indianapolis Center from 150 miles away in my hangar. Installation of the carb heat and cabin heat box is complete and it has a K&N air filter also. A new cowling has been made and the intake tube is a work in progress for the ram air to the filter. Next up will be the installation of the heat muffs, one for cabin heat and one for carb heat. More to post as progress takes place.
