Eduardo Barros from Argentina is the only guy that I know of that has completed and flown a rounded-bottom fuselage plane. I believe he got the idea from Dr. Dean back in the late 1990's, and used the same basic construction technique. http://www.krnet.org/krs/ebarros/ shows early construction with lots of detail http://www.kr2-egb.com.ar/ shows later construction and lots of recent flying photos Eduardo comes to OSH on occasion, and is also on KRnet, so he will likely reply to this if he sees it. I'll forward to him also. I don't know of anybody else who's building one, unless you count the KR Super 2. Several people started to build one, and best I can tell, they've all been abandoned by the guy who started the trend. Some folks are welcome to enlighten us on the status of the Super 2. My main concern with the whole project was that plans were begun (and still not finished), and folks were building along with the originator, but something happened to him that apparently stopped him in his tracked, and the status of those unfinished planes is unknown. My humble opinion was, and still is, you don't publish plans for an airplane which has never been test flown, for this very reason, or worse.....
