Below is my response to Hal Bryan, editor of Sport Aviation. I tried to
"nudge" him a bit with the hint of competition and referenced the video
in case he overlooked it or hadn't taken time to watch it. We'll see
what develops.

Below is the reply from Hal Bryan, editor of Sport Aviation. In it he
ask a question. What is our (group) response? Anyone planning to be
there with a KR? Reading between the lines, my take is we'll get a
story if we show up with enough KR's to make a story / event.

Hi Larry,
Thanks for
Last call for submitting pictures of your KR to all KR builders and Pilots...
We are putting together a video history of what the builders have done with the
KR in the last 50 years. It is a tribute to Ken Rand and Stu Robinson for their
creativeness in designing one of the greatest homebuilt ai
This surely deserves an honorable mention... Thank you

Would that have been the very sanitary white-with-orange-trim KR with Type 4 VW
power? Can't remember the builder/pilot's name.

How funny that you mention the evolution of the KR, engines, and
technologies... that is exactly what I am doing in this presentation. Regarding
engines, make sure you include the engine type that you are using... its a
highlight of the historical evolution of the KR brand
Happy Annivers
As we look to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the KR design it helps
to put the 50 years in perspective by going to YouTube and watching
video of the KR Gatherings from the early 90's. Most KR's in attendance
were plans built, VW powered, and many using the original retracts. One

Comparing the two photos of Ken's KR1, the one posted by Langford as
open cockpit and the photo by Kiwi, it's hard to imagine it's photos of
the same airplane. Ken either did a total makeover or he built a second
KR1 and used the same N number. Cowl is different, canopy, turtle deck,

Dear sir... you have no idea how grateful I am of these photos, they are truly
historic and well appreciated. I will use them in our video.

Great ideas for the initial go. To all, please keep the ideas coming. We can
