Introducing the KR

Thought I'd post a couple of pictures so anyone interested knows what a KR is. Reputed to be one of the cheapest aeroplanes to build it comes with either conventional or tricycle u/c fixed or retracts (your choice) and I don't believe that any two are identical! Registerable either as either VH or 19 ....

 

If you are building one, or know anyone who is, here is a great place to share information, ask for assistance and generally join in the fun!

Yes, I am one of the tragics.

 

Thanks Martin for starting the sub forum.

 

Sadly, I bought a boat stage project 2 years ago and have not progressed at all. i am in the middle of selling the family home and finding a new place to live so I reckon it may take more time to get going again.

 

I started a site but have not updated it for a while. I'll try at some stage for those that are interested. Here are som pics of where it is upto:

Hi Chris

 

Sorry about your circumstances and I hope you can restart the project sometime soon ...... If you are thinking of coming down Frankston way, pm me and I'll see if there is a suitable garage available with house attached!

 

Regards

 

Martin

Gee, there's lots of variations on that SA site. The good, the bad and the down right ugly. I guess you have to say it a very versatile aircraft. Wouldn't say no to a high powered single seater though.

With the centre stick, I've heard of people flying it as a single seater using the two outer pedals ..... versatile!

Martin thanks for the offer to look around, I own part of a property in Frankston, which is on the market as well. I would have bought it but I have a teenager going into Year 12 next year and don't want to change her school.

 

 

For everyone else the KR2 started life as a single seater called the KR-1. There is also a motor glider supplement to the KR-1 plans as well. The KR-2S is a lengthened version and there have been many changes over the years to make this a versatile project for the experimenter.

 

 

 

It's creator Ken Rand is credited with making popular the Fibreglass over foam construction method.

Hi there KR enthusiasts or inquisitors. I am building a KR-2S in the brisbane area. Feel free to check out my builders lod (via my profile). more than happy to chat about the process or just KRs in general.
