Hello all. I'm interested in KR2 information. I'm a small guy (5'9" 135 pounds) and would like to find a realistic 2 place airplane. I really like the look of the KR2 (standard model, not the stretch) and the fact that it can be build simple and light. I don't have a whole lot of questions yet as I really don't know what to ask yet. I'm looking for a KR2 project in just about any stage of completion, but I would like to buy a complete "kit" if there is such a thing. What are some things to look for in a partially build KR2? Are there common builder mistakes that adversely affect the aircraft performance? Can the KR2 handle simple aerobatics like loops and rolls safely?
I'm currently flying a Sonerai IILS with a highly modified VW engine. I have good performance out of it, but I don't really care for the rear seat solo flying. My Sonerai is a pleasure to fly otherwise, very responsive but easy to fly. I cruise in the 160mph TAS range and would like similar or better speed. Anyway, I'm looking for opinions here. What to stay away from, what to look for, overall impressions of building and flying a basically stock airframe KR2. Are there insurance issues with the KR2? Thanks in advance.
