Colin, thank you, but that looks like a different KR. Here are two
pics of N39245.

Greg,
As a 30 year member of the KR community and having attended every KR
Gathering but one since 1990, I have never seen any two KR's ever built
"exactly" the same. There are several features that make me believe the
two photos are of the same KR. First, the cowl. The teardrop shaped
"bubbles" over the cylinders combined with the vertical rectangular
openings just forward of the firewall. Second, the shape of the small
porthole windows just aft of the canopy, and third the large strake on
the vertical stabilizer. The odds of any two KR's sharing these exact
same features which are not a part of the plans are quite high. The one
photo is too dark to determine the type of landing gear but the three I
mentioned are enough to convince me the photos are of the same
airplane. Given the fact that both photos show these three items and
the N number is the same on both photos the odds of it being two
different aircraft are pronominal.
Just my opinion.
