Below are some pictures I took of Steve Andersen's KR2S during a June 2002 visit with Gene Knight in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Steve and Gene built what will surely become an award winning Lancair IVP, which was good practice for the KR2S shown below. His workmanship is nothing short of outstanding.
This is the plug, from which the mold, from which the gullwing canopy was made.
Here's a flat wrapped windshield
The gullwings are complete, having been laid up in the female mold (half of which is shown on the left).
This is one very sharp looking tailwheel, which could be faired in very easily. Tail spring is handlaid 1/4" thick carbon fiber. I think I've got tailwheel envy...
Fuel tank.
Nice split flap. This guy's a genius!
There's your access panel, Rich, made of carbon fiber, no less.
Carbon fiber seat pan.
Notice the oilite bushings.
Fine detail work. This guy makes me look like a slob!
MAC trim servo location on rudder.
Aileron (wing's upside down).
This is what they painted the Lancair with, and Gene's winglet KR2S.
