Young Eagles! This is one of the best reasons KR-2 N6242 is taking so long. Guess who is having more fun.
KR-2 N6242 has just completed its last three-pointer coming down off the rotisserie 1-7-07. Actually, it was more like a wheel landing with the mains first. Now it will become a tri-gear nose dragger.
6-5-09 Engine cooling ducts and modified oil filler fitting
9-16-09 Coming together. Still needs systems installs firewall forward, instrument panel assembly, painting cowl and rudder.
Home Page for Sid Wood KR-2 Construction
This site provides a log of the construction activities for KR-2 N6242. Construction started on July 3, 1986. Since then, my wife and I have put two kids through high school and college, got them married, got four grandkids, operated a school bus contracting business for 25 years and sold the business five years ago, added a master bedroom suite and two-car garage to the house, retired after 35 years from my Navy electronics engineering job and went back to work as a full-time consultant for ten years, now part-time and built the 26'x 42' shop. I have been renting spam cans all the while since 1960.
On some construction entries I have put multiple dates in the same entry for on-going repetitive efforts such as sanding to log the additional time each day.

1/16/10 The log was updated with entries for oil cooling and SCAT duct fitting. This website has had over 13,000 hits since it went public in June 2005 on the KRnet. I would have never imagined there would be so much interest in my halting attempt to build tri-gear KR-2 N6242. Thank you, one and all, for your help and encouragement.
