Getting the WAF and root spars ready to mount
-
I cleaned up some WAF I had off my KR-2 looking for flaws and mainly just to get a good look at the metal and they seem to be fine. I also cut the Mahogany ply to plate the root spars for I can get the spars onto the drill press and get the control stick mounted and WAF along with the front seat mounting brackets.

Padded my seat back rest and made seat base cushion. a little every day and you builders will be flying. I guess I'll add some red in my paint design..
-
tried my luck at some seat and back rest. Drilled lightening holes to save weight I used the floor out of a child day pen and man what strong stuff. not touch it my hans

I hate to use up Forum space but thought it would be nice to show some build pictures of my Taylor- Mono for future builders can see. I will start with some of my first Pictures.

Hello fella's. I did get the KR-2 root spars cut down to fit and opened one side to put in bridge bracing. Probably just added weight but more strength the better I guess. Gives me a chance to put new ply on one side.

Thank you guys. I have discovered that my Taylor monoplane is the only one being built in the US as far as I know at this time. Would love to see some new ones roll out.

What a sad ending to such a great plane and attempt for a trip around the world. Colin will always be a top notch pilot and if he want's he can finish the trip in my Taylor-mono plane. Hope you heal up fast Colin. Don

I sure hope you change the color, I'll be right back I have too lose my lunch..

Thank you.Nev I have the data plate it say's O-200-1 and from I can find out it's a 90 hp witch would be good for a KR-2 and I suppose weight is comparable to a Cont. 0-200. I'll try and contact Southern Aero. Thanks again. Don

would like some input from forum on the idea of mounting a Franklin 4ac-199-E engine on my KR-2. I can't find any research if it's been done, and I also worry about part's?? Any thought's guy's. Don
-
Look's like you are on the right track and the fix is easy enough. Your build looks rather nice -
You sure you don't have the rudder up side down in the picture??

Marty_D. There is one more difference in flying models and real planes. The ability to walk away after a crash !

Good for you! I live next door in North Dakota and have a KR-2 and a Taylor-mono plane up on gear. Hope to hear more about your build

Yes I see they have their lucky rabbits foot hanging close by

I'll tell ya all what I find sad about RC flying. Here in the sticks of North Dakota persons seem more concerned about driving their John Deer tractor then trying a new hobby. I have found it's a much better sport if there is some one to share it with.
-
Now that's what I call "hanging on the prop" first RC I've seen that has reverse. I'm still dizzy
-
reducing Elev movement can be done by your hand. Making the Horz. Stab. larger is the key I found to keep the plane from pitch sensitivity and that's on a stock KR-2 not the S

My father was a crop duster for 32 years and when he got started in RC he had a heck of a time bringing them home in one piece. To me it showed there is a art in it self to fly the models. and that was before the drone wave
