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
8-4-08 Starting to look like a KR-2 with spinner, prop and engine cooling ducts. Canopy and turtledeck are painted and ready for final installation.
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.

6/5/09 The log was updated with entries for cooling duct fitting and new and improved oil filler fitting. This website has had over 11,000 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.
