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 five grand kids, operated a school bus contracting business for 25 years and sold the business seven 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. Celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary December 28, 2011.

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.

4/12/12 The Airworthiness Inspection was performed and the FAA inspector issued a Special Airworthiness certificate. I am legal to fly N6242 for Phase I flight testing. The aircraft now resides at St. Mary's County Airport, K2W6. This website has had over 18,000 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.
