Mark,
Do you have any update
Dave,
I know of five KRSuper2 builders that will be at Oshkosh. I think all are
planning on using the Corvair. They are myself, Chris Anderson, Paul
Fincato,
David McCauley and Ted Sanders. Scott Watts can not make it this year, but
passed these names on to me. Let us meet at the KR Forum on Mo
Hello KR builders and pilots,
This is to introduce myself as well as test my mail system. I am a
returning member having joined and left a year or so ago. I have since
learned how to use email filters to organize the volume of incoming mail
into folders. I got into building a KR a little bas
I read somewhere that Ken was planning a composite fuselage version of the
KR2 as well. If he was still alive it would be interesting to see what our
planes would like like now

Mark,
What do you know about a Glasair or Lancair canopy being used in a KR2S? Has
this ever been done?
I will be documenting my take on a next generation KR-2S and Virgil asked:
, How does Jeannete Rand figure into this? Great question.
I am documenting my interpretation of a next generation KR-2S and the
aircraft is based on the KR design and will be registered with the FAA as a

The retractable gear has had a bad reputation in the KR over the years. The
original design had problems folding up on landing. There have been better
ones designed recently and if you really have your heart set on retractable you
should research these. You will get alot of different

The KR may not met this requirement for LSA:
Maximum speed in level flight with maximum continuous power (Vh)138 mph (120
knots)
It may be too fast. If yours meets the requirements, the EAA has a
Documentation package to convert ultralights to LSA. You could start with that

I am building a Corvair engine and I am looking for suggestion as to what
conversion parts I should make myself. I have a local machine shop that can do
pretty much what ever I need (it just takes $$$). I have spoken with WW and he

I have a friend with a KR2 that wants to know how much he can hang on

One answer would be to minimize the weight carried by the firewall. If you

I am soliciting inputs from all you nethead on the documentation of a next

I am building a widened KR-2S with a planned Corvair 2700. As I pencil out my

options before I commit to a firewall size and shape. I am hop
