Hi Mark Langford. When I built my Kr, I was chided for building a
"Nosedragger ", and many other comments from folks about my piloting
skills. I built it from the beginning to have positive steering and to
be retractable. Guess I had read enough stories to convince me that I
did not want to build i

Fremont Ohio. I test flew my KR and the first 45 hours at RL Jones,
AKA Riverside. I was at the time stationed at Tinker AFB, in Oklahoma
City.

To Larry Flesner. My KR 2 is not on the list here, either, and it is
probably because it is registered as a Shaffer Rand, KR-2. That is how
the FAA Inspector, in Tulsa, wanted me to register it, as I had put it
on a tricycle retractable gear, and he did not considered it a Rand
Robinson KR-2.
-I flew my first 70 hours with the Azusa drum brakes. I used a hand
brake lever 18 inches long, mounted to the left side of the fuselage.
The handle top was 15 inches above the pivot bolt, and the cable
mounting hole was 2 and 13/16 inches below the pivot bolt. No, they

I know of a builder in Springfield, Ohio, that built his KR with
Douglas fir. EAA Sport Aviation printed the test methods for testing
the Douglas fir, I think, in the 70's. Being stronger than Sitka
Spruce, the 5/8 inch longerons, stringers, etc, can be cut to 9/16
inch, but I think he cut his to 5
I made my own wing attach fittings. Having a drill index with 1/64th
spacing, drill the holes 3 or 4 sizes smaller than the finished hole.
Then , by 64ths of an inch, drill out the hole to the finished size.
This will get you to the best rounded hole you can get without a
reamer. John Shaffer N455J

Larry, and Mike, My original (short) KR-2 always needed forward stick

But we still measuring altitude in FEET. I have been inside a Russian
cargo plane, similar to our C-130, and it's altimeter reads in feet.
In fact, all the pilot's flight instruments' utilized by any Air

were in Russian.
