The design airspeeds for the KR-2 are:
Va = 123 mph design maneuvering speed
Vc = 171 mph design cruising speed
Vd = 242 mph design diving speed
The new ASTM standard F2245 "Standard Specification for Design and
Performance of a Light Sport Airplane" requires that
Vh <= Vne <= 0.9Vdf Vh = max

Somewhere in this there is a history lesson. When were the first plans
sold. Perhaps yours is the first.

I am looking at my builders book and realized that I do not fully know what the
hand scribed numbers at the top right of my book mean. On top is "# 6123" and
