Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

[WMcNabb]

This most recent chapter is the proverbial icing on the cake!
I really appreciate you capturing the entire story here on GSN.
This has been both remarkable and enjoyable, for me and I'm certain others.
The result of your aircraft is fascinating enough, but the tribute to Papaw Mickey and the coincidences along the way make this thread truly exceptional!!
Looking forward to seeing the photos and reading about the next adventures of the Krier and whatever else is in the works.

Thank you all again.

The fuel line I needed is on the way so hopefully I might get it flown toward the end of the week.

I also ordered the next big box of Balsa for my next build already..... Yes I might be a little sick lol

Or you could look at it this way, maybe the people that don't build are the sick ones.

Got the tank mount made yesterday and the fuel line got here today but I didn't get it plumbed. Will get that done tomorrow then its on to a few engine runs and a test flight!

And now it's on to the wings.

I do have a few small touchups to do, but they are all small enough I can do them with a brush.

Wow......
That really looks great......
I haven't worked with DOPE since my teens on my C/L stunt Planes. And with my sensitivity to solvents, I am an addict in recovery. I prefer to stay away from them, to much nerve damage in the past.
