Intersting. And how many have flown? I think he was asking for a proven design, thatks to say you don't have potential. We are in the same process on the LSA but as a new design still has not been proven. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Like most of us the reason was because it was a pretty little airplane for very little money. It was twitchy but I managed to fly and enjoy it for a while until I felt that I want something with more utility and better stability. That was 20 years ago. In reality, the KR2 is a fairly complex aircraft to build. It takes most builders 2000 hours to finish. It is not inexpensive any more. You'll spend over $20,000 and more likely $25,000 to $30,000 for a nice one with decent panel Its flying qualities may have improved with the stretched version of the KR2S but it still lacks in comfort and utility. I am not telling you all that After telling you all that I would to discourage you from building, but if you are going to spend the time, efforts and money why not build a newer airplane design. We at Aeromax aviation had designed an aircraft based on years of aircraft building experience and were able to combine all the good qualities of several aircraft designs into one that would make for the best all around airplane. A Safe and stable airplane that is extremely comfortable (44" cabin), with high utility, longer range and excellent performance. You can build it either as a LSA or a fast airplane. Our design utilizes various materials and methods for manufacturing the airframe parts so that we can offer you an airplane kit that would take less than 600 hours to build. We have also designed and developed the best Integral Front Bearing (patent pending) for improving the Corvair engines reliability. Our integral rear mount alternator and starter makes for the best and most efficient engine you can find. I invite you to visit our web page: www.aeromaxaviation.com and look at our products: Aircraft / Corvair based engines / parts for the do it yourself / Fire wall forward kits. The KRsuper2 A great improvement over the KR2. The fuselage is made as a moldless composite. No longer the intricate wood buildup but still needs quite a bit of time to shape and finish. Our Aeromax fuselage is made in a mold. The aircraft was designed by myself based on my previous aircraft design the Super Pulsar 100. The molds were made on a 5 axis cNc router. The wing of the super 2 is comprised of a 15 ft. center section and two outboard wings. I does present an issue when you want to trailer the airplane. YOu'll have to detach the centeer wing as well for transport. It uses a composite / carbon (expensive) Spar. We have decided to design a wing utilizing the well proven wood spar 7 ft. center section for ease of transport. and two outboard wings of 9.5 ft each for a total of 26 ft span. The airfoil is the same AS5416 tapering down to 12% at the tip. the aeromax was designed to offer you the kit advantages at a Plans built aircraft cost. Whatever you'll decide to build remember that we are here to help you in your project. Feel free to contact us with whatever question you might have. Bill Clapp -Engines inquiries.

I received several congratulatory messages, and one that was a little different. Ted Sanders sent me a link to the KRSuper2, KRSuper2.com which looks interesting. I wrote back to him with some questions, but never got an answer. I thought he might have been at the gathering, so I didn't get too worried about not hearing from him right away. I wrote again, though, last week. I still haven't heard from him. Does anyone actually have one of these planes flying? Has anyone done any structural analysis of it? The KR2 I consider a proven plane, in that they have been flying for 30 years or so. The new wing has been thoroughly researched and several examples are flying. Does anyone know anything about this variation, though? -- David Lininger, kb0zke EM37kt Rev. 2:10 kb0...@gmail.com _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
