Wooden It Be Nice?
The next missive comes from Larry Flesner, who points out an error when
we said the KR2S <https://www.kitplanes.com/17-kits-for-under-25k/> was
“originally an all-wood design.” “The fact that Ken Rand and Stu
Robinson designed the first homebuilt to use wood-composite construction
seems to be, unfortunately, lost to history,” he says. “The original KR1
was built using a wood fuselage, wood spars and composite-over-foam
wings and tail surfaces. The KR2 followed and then, with builder input,
the KR2S. Very few KRs are built the same due to builder changes but
they remain, in my opinion, the best bang for the buck speed, ease of
building and fun to fly homebuilts on the market today. I may be a bit
biased, having 700+ hours in my stretched KR with an O-200 and having
hosted a dozen or more annual KR Gatherings. But any honest exposure to
the KR design would validate my opinion.” I appreciate the correction,
Larry.
