I bought the Super2S from a fellow who purchased at auction in Phoenix. Whoever stopped paying the storage bills. The boat is built with turtledeck on, wings about half way with main wing structure built but fuel tanks need sealing and testing, then top skin foam and skin applied. There's a lot of hangar rash. Looks like someone either dropped it or took a baseball bat to the canopy. It's totally trashed. And there's a few repairs that need doing. I can't work on it for about 6 months because I'm finishing a Zenith CH-650 and am committed to others to get that project flying. Then I will own that with others, but would prefer to own a KR by myself to take on long trips.
Anyway, I guess I have now joined the ranks of KR builders; if the Super2S qualifies as a KR. It has been modified in every way and probably should have its own designation. While its basic roots are KR . Well, I guess even the KR2S is much modified from anything original. But good designs do that. They morph and change. Hopefully the changes are improvements. But thankfully there are purists like Mark, who fly a totally original, stock, no changes made KR ; ) I was very pleased that Scott Watts replied to my email and said he would support in any way possible for my completion, but I don't know what status of his or any other builds are. I'd sure like to know when a Super2S flies and what it performs like. I was at the McMinnville gathering last year. I'm the one who shot and posted the video of Mark's talk on glassing. I had no idea at that time I'd actually own a glass KR project. So I now are a KR builder!! Jim McGauhey Washington State
