Just a little note ,Roger Mann use glue similar to gorilla in building his rw19 rw 20 ,he shows that in his building video .
Many moons ago I did certified 4 position mig welding for General Dynamics. But it's been a long time and I wouldn't trust my welding without going back and getting some more instruction and a lot of practice. If welding a fuse frame I believe I'd just gas weld with Oxy-acetylene. But again ... it would take me a good while to get welds that I'd feel comfortable flying.Oh, now that is nasty. I weld better than that!
Yeah, there are those that think that "The bigger the glob, the stronger the weld". He he.Many moons ago I did certified 4 position mig welding for General Dynamics.

A friend was using his little, portable, inexpensive welder the other day to reweld the hinges back on his cargo trailer. He was quite proud of the globs he had on there until the door fell off ...![]()
I've heard it stated ... "The bigger the glob, the stronger the job!"Yeah, there are those that think that "The bigger the glob, the stronger the weld". He he.
It's got some value but not $7k........I think $700 would be a stretch but I'm pretty cheap as VB well knows!![]()
KR 2 Unfinished Kit Plane for Parts - aviation - by owner - airplane...
We moved into our new home and the past owners left a KR-2 kit aircraft in our garage. We have no use for it. It is unfinished but has many parts to it plus the wings. Please come and look at it if...sierravista.craigslist.org
It would be hard for me to trust someone else's build on something such as this unless I knew the builder and/or watched it being built. I'm sure those that know more than I do about this type of construction could evaluate it pretty well.It's got some value but not $7k........I think $700 would be a stretch but I'm pretty cheap as VB well knows!
Clearly if it was worth $7k the previous owners would not have left it behind. They left it behind to avoid paying someone to haul it to the dump!It's got some value but not $7k........I think $700 would be a stretch but I'm pretty cheap as VB well knows!
It looks like this project once had an engine and a prop. Spinner backplate - not something you're expect on a project that was never completed or flown. I also notice a guide coat sprayed on several parts, a Pro Tip. Also what looks like a giant crack just in front of the vertical stabilizer, running from upper longeron to upper longeron. Not a complete Fright Pig; I have seen FAR worse FLYING KR-2s, but it deserves a very close inspection.![]()

Still a bit of a drive for Pat. 750 miles or 11-12 hours in a car at the speed limit.They are clearly asking too much. Maybe they can donate it to !Contact magazine - they are pretty close to Pat Panzera.
Ah, I see now that it is Sierra Vista ARIZONA. There is also a Sierra Vista CALIFORNIA in the Central Valley.Still a bit of a drive for Pat. 750 miles or 11-12 hours in a car at the speed limit.
With the damage to the turtle deck forward of vertical stab. I would be cautious of upper longeron damage also![]()
