Default What do you think of KA 6CR?

Jim
I am 6ft and 210 lbs
I tried a K6CR and did not fit in it
However K6E comes in two variants. Short nose & long
nose.
I now have a share in a long nose E and am very comfortable
in it.
Find a long nose version and you'll love it. It's great
to fly.

I'm looking for an inexpensive sailplane & see a few
KA 6CR's for sale, all
including enclosed trailer for around $7,000. A 1-26
would have been OK, but
there aren't any right now. I'm not sure I'd fit in
a KA 6 at 6'3' & over
200 lb. Also; how about maintaining a wooden sailplane?
Does one need to be
a woodworker to keep the KA 6CR flying?
