Belly flap, is not in the true sense, a flap. As I understand it, a flap
will give you lift and drag and a belly flap/belly board/speed brake, just
gives you drag. It is good to give you a better view of the runway without
picking up too much speed. With flaps, you will get both, but from the

Hello
After doing some high speed taxi tests including some (runway) flights
I have found the following updates to be done. Some for cosmetic value and
some for comfort and safety .
These are being done as evidently the original builder was shorter
than I my 5'7".

I completely agree with Marks statements. I had another home built that
used spring taper pins..fairly quick and easy to remove but still kept the
Sonerai 2 at the airport to avoid eventual wear and tear as well as the
inevitable rash and mishaps involved in towing not to mention the real

Hi Neville,
There's no perfect aircraft, sadly. I'm in a similar position to you - can't
put down a big wad of cash for a kit. I have heard talk of a folding wing mod
for the KR but never seen any details. I'd proceed on the basis that the KR
needs to live at an airport, not in the garage.
Hi Neville,
There are several KR2S variants under construction in Oz. I'm in Qld, but
there are some closer to you - e.g. Phil Matheson at Finley NSW.
Yes, you can build a KR2S from scratch from the plans, although there are some
websites in the KR community that will make the journey a lot ea
New to the forum and have a few simple questions
Can the KR-2s be completely scratch built from the plans provided (i.e.
no need to buy components)
How easy it it to remove the wings on the KR-2s and whats involved
Anyone in Australia (preferable Vic)currently building or flying a KR2s

I was thinking about this yesterday. If I had a plane that had removable or
"fold in" wings, where would I go to fly it and how time consuming would it
be to go flying for an hour or two? Around here, we have Columbia
Metropolitan Airport, Columbia Downtown Airport, Lexington County Airport,

The folding wing rumor came from a guy several years ago who said he'd
solved the problem. He built a mockup and sent it to Ray, who eventually
sent it to me. It didn't pass my "reasonable" test for a viable folding
wing solution. It was flimsy, and even if beefed up, was essentially a

Hi Neville,
Alan Middleton in Townsville QLD, Australia ( www.BluewaterAirport.com ). I
have a KR2 registered in RA AUS (photo attached).
I love flying it and can recommend the aircraft type to anyone, although I
stress it is a performance aircraft requiring experience to avoid
embarrassment
Neville, welcome to the forum and Of course you can build a KR from plans
only. Many of us have gone that route. I find it a chore to routinely
remove the wings from a KR only because you must tow it home after each
flight. Not difficult but simply a pain in the neck! When you only have
