Updated July 2010, I added a short video clip of my Instrument Panel with Dynon D6 now installed. Video can be found on
the Instrument Panel Page. Since my 1st flight conducted on 2 Sep 06, I've managed to fly 250+ hours to include trips to
the KR Gathering in Mount Vernon and Oshkosh.
The KR-2S is a experimental airplane, a home built. It is a single engine low wing design airplane. My airplane has a
normal cruise capability of 120 mph with 140 mph maximum in level flight with two passengers. I purchased the plans for the
KR2-S from Rand Robinson in 1997. I studied the plans for a year before I began construction in June 1998. My plan was
to finalize all design decisions before I began building the airplane. I pretty much stuck to the plans with only a few
modifications. I widened the fuselage 1.5" and installed the trigear since I have little tail-dragger experience. I am using the
standard RAF 48 airfoil. Engine is a aero converted VW engine, a Revmaster 2100. The airplane was scratch built as much
as I thought was practical to save on costs, but at an increase in building time. It has taken 1500 hours and 8 years to
complete the project.
