I almost bought (and still might) a Teenie 2 as a temporary ride while I build a KR. It's kind of cute, simple, and cheap. About the same size as a KR with about the same power, yet substantially slower. I think the sonex performs well, just looks terrible like a Pontiac Aztec (my opinion and taste), while the KR is something I fell in love with its looks at first sight. Also, coming from a boat background, I can appreciate fiberglass construction. This would be my third attempt to construct a KR and while last time I had copies of most newsletters in a giant ring binder, these web resources have been invaluable to quickly learn about something.
