I just bought KR2S plans from them last Oct. It is strange that they are not listed but I am sure they are still available. The company was moving to a new location because of flooding I believe so that may have something to do with it. Give them a call. Craig --- On Fri, 2/11/11, Kieran Sh

Is a KR2 / KR2S built by buying the KR1 plans and applying all the mods people have made over time ? Is there no way to buy an actual set of KR2 plans ? --- Hello Kieran, I was surprised to follow your link and not find the KR2/KR2S plans on that page, because that's where I ordered them from

Hi Guys, This is probably the dumbest question out but where do you get the plans for a KR2 or KR2S ? I saw that http://www.nvaero.com is listed as the supplier of plans on http://www.krnet.org/. On their web site they only list KR1 plans and builders manual: http://www.nvaero.com/products/Rand-

You do know that both escaped from that crash. One with little to no injury and the other with what could be considered minor, which he probably would have gotten even with a roll bar. I am not disputing the benefits of a roll bar, but consider the weight and where it is going to be in the CG.

Interesting that 1964 was a special year for corvair because it was the only year VW made a type "F" series 1300cc engine. As for KR's what kind of shelf life are people REALLY getting with vinyl ester resin? and, What amount of work time are you getting for lay ups at 72 to 75 degrees shop t

Archives last mention stall strips in 1998, and Tom's Att email account is surprisingly... inactive. Tom are you still around? Can anyone enlighten me on how to place a stall strip on a wing? I know what they are for, just not what size and position to place them on the leading edge. andy
