Jim, The registration is a South-African experimental registration. As you know, the KR1 and KR2 were success stories in South Africa.The local agent even tried to "mass-produce" parts a while ago. Then, a couple of accidents occurred, and the KR got a bad name. But there is a lot of local knowledge and material on the KR2.
I suspect your "GK1" is a modified KR1, and the builder gave it its initials. There also is a SB-2, which is an all-composite KR-2.

It is powered by a Honda engine with a reduction drive. It looks exactly like a KR-1. The registration number on the aircraft on the cover is ZU-BLJ. Can anyone tell me the lineage of the GK-1?
