Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.
Well other than putting in the last flying wire tab and putting on one more cap strip the bottom wing is finished. I'm still undecided about whether or not to take the tip sheeting off to copy Grampa's removable aileron hinge pin, but that can be done later. Next up is getting the wing fit to...- Bipeguy03

It's looking fantastic, your doing one heck of a job! Building is a blast, I got away from it for a while and put together and rebuilt some ARF's but it's just not the same. I haven't had as much fun modeling as I am having building my Krier, in a long time. looking forward to seeing more of...- Bipeguy03

Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.
Well I have one aileron finished. I went with the ply control horns that I made, after I chucked it up in the vise and drug my 150 pound work bench across the shop, I feel it's pretty safe to assume the aileron would fail before the control horn. I did brush some thinned epoxy on them to fill...- Bipeguy03

Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.
Got the other aileron servo bay finished this evening and started working on finishinig the ailerons themselves. I also started playing around with making my own control horns for the ailerons. I didn't want to use to bolt type, grampa used Dubro nylon horns (because that's all there was in...- Bipeguy03

I got the aileron servo bay finished, there is definitely no room to spare!!! Now I just need to do it again. Mounts made. It's a tight fit, and it takes some wiggling to get it in the hole, but then again I don't intent to take it out much! I didn't have any #4 flush screws so I used...- Bipeguy03

Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.
Got the sheeting finished this afternoon and started on the aileron servo bays. I built a frame out of spruce and basswood, put that caps on the ribs, then made the hatch cover out of lite ply. The servo will be mounted on its side to the cover. It's a tight fit, but it will all go in there...- Bipeguy03

Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.
Well I've inhaled enough balsa dust today that I sneezed out a Guillows kit, but I have the wing tips finished, the leading edge on and shaped and the aileron cove block in. All that's left to finish the bottom wing is a couple pieces of sheeting on the bottom center section, servo bays for the...- Bipeguy03

Working on finishing the wing tips this evening, put some lite ply sheer webs in between the tip sheeting. I used ply because they aren't just sheer webs they help support the wing tip.- Bipeguy03

Finished putting in the flying wire tabs and started putting the sheeting on the bottom of the wing. Once the sheeting on the bottom of the wing is done I can put the leading edge cap on get it rounded off. The Servo bays and the ailerons will follow. Attachment block for the flying wire...- Bipeguy03

Landing gear rails in and put the wing bolt reinforcement in as well. I was originally going to have 4 bolts holding the bottom wing on but after some thought I decided on the more traditional pin in the leading edge with 2 bolts toward the trailing edge. The pin in the leading edge will be...- Bipeguy03

Is it too soon to start planning my next project? lol While I was going through the box of plans that grampa's buddy gave me I came across his 1/4 scale Hot Kanary plans. This was 200% blown up version of the Top Flight Hot Kanary for a 30cc. This airplane grampa re built. He saw it flying...- Bipeguy03

Lazy Sunday afternoon and tinkering with the Krier Kraft wing. Top sheeting is done, getting ready to cut the ailerons out now and putting in the aileron butt ribs. Ailerons cut free and the sheer webbing is in. Landing gear blocks tomorrow.- Bipeguy03
