I've beeb trying to contact him for sometime now. I'm ready to fly, but have no hangerage. :-( To get my KR2 out of the shed and into the sky (where it belongs) I'm considering making folding wing WAFs. Regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia AUF 19-3873 kr2@BigPond.com http://users.tpg.com.au/barryk/KR2.htm We have a winner of the "Folding Wings" plan raffle.

Subject: RE: KR> WAFs and Diehl gear for sale To: "KRnet" Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Brian, The Diehl main gear set can be used either for conventional gear or nose gear installation by crossing diagonally on the main spar. And if you are careful where you drill the holes in the brackets and spar, you can interchangeably convert from conventional to tri-gear and back without drilling extra holes in the spar. Sid Wood, KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD Sidney.wood@titan.com I also have a set of Diehl gear for sale. The set consists of the upper casting, the gear leg, the lower brackets, and the bolt kit. As when you buy the set from Dan, it does not include the axles. The legs are already glassed and hae the straw for the brake line already done. The glass work is very good and will require very little finishing. The set is for a tail dragger, but I think they are the same as for a nose wheel, just mounted on the other side of the spar. Not 100% sure on this, but someone on the list should know. The legs are not drilled yet and the holes to mount the leg to the upper casting are not drilled in the casting yet, so there is no worry that there is any misalignment on this set. Dan sells the set for $525 plus $15 for shipping. I will sell them for $500 with shipping in the U.S. included. The work that is done will save about three hours. I am selling the gear because I have ordered new leg blanks that will not rake as far forward and I am welding up new brackets for more prop clearance. I also have the forward spar to sell. The spar is drilled to match this gear set. I am fairly sure I can get the center section spar off the plane without damage, but I am not sure on this yet.

To: "KR Net" Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" The KR1, KR1B, and KR2 plans and serial numbers arrived yesterday, I have a VW type V and a Corvair 110hp engine (that was hard to find) both in need of some new parts (rebuild). I'm waiting on the trailer outer covering (have to pick up the siding next week) to finish my plane trailer (20' long starting with a 3' wide by 42" height front tapering to 104" wide by 72" height for the horizontal stabilizer, trailer weighs about 400lbs) then I get to drive 3000 miles and retrieve a KR1 in the boat stage and a KR2 without an engine. So would that qualify me as a Kr'er? I started working on getting my pilot license in 1978 at the Santa Monica airport and it looks like I'll finish at Salt Lake #2. I was a field engineer in the 70's and 80's then took up programming, currently building a house and hanger in an area Northwest of the Great Salt Lake.

He sent me his prototype ( which I still have to send back) so that I couls make my own. It does look pretty cool. Anyone can contact him direct at rmoore@alltel.net I believe he is selling the plans. I can tell you that they look very simple but effective. I still haven't gotten to the point of my wing construction to see if I am going to use them (wing tanks seem to be a hurdle) but I would really like to incorporate them into my setup. When I do the wings, I will post and give an update as to what I did. Hope this helps.
