Owen MacPherson's KR2 Construction Page

(Sorry, I gotta go work on the deck now…)

A new look - Jun /02

I apologize for the lack of updates recently. A number of improvements to The Gadget have kept me busy for the first part of the summer. A few people asked about the meeting at Dunnville, but it appears that will have to wait until next season. I will be flying to the gathering in Red Oak this year (weather permitting) and look forward to seeing you there.

 

The pages will be moving to a new address! Look for them soon at http://www3.sympatico.ca/omacphe


The intent of publishing these pages is to document the progress of my project, a Rand Robinson KR2. I hope they may be of some value to those of you who are building (or interested in building) a KR2 or, more likely now, a KR2S.

 I have been working on my KR2 now for some time. What you see here is essentially my builder's log (minus some of the more colourful descriptions, like how I really feel about sanding). 

My new email address is omacphe@sympatico.ca if you have comments or questions. Please note that if you ask a question I will answer to the best of my ability but I'm really not that bright. I can make no guarantee as to the suitability of any advice contained in these pages or that sent via email.
