It is with my deepest sympathy that Riley Collins has passed away. I
am his wife. He was building a KR and I would like to know if anyone
could help me in trying to get the airplane sold. What I would need to
do or who I could contact. I would love to be able to keep but it is
not finished and I know nothing at all about airplanes. If you could
email me at [email protected] I would so greatly appreciate it

Hi Oz,
I'm just getting fully re-established at home after a great
gathering. It
sure was fun even though weather prevented me from bringing 133RM to
Mt.
Vernon Hopefully next year I can get it to a Gathering with better
conditions and more experience.
I am very lucky to have the opportunity to care for 133RM. Bruce
Utting and
I decided it needed to come back to the USA where Roy built it. Bruce
worked
untold hours to help me get it ready for its return trip across the
Pacific.
Since then, I've spent over 400 hours fixing problems from lack of
use and 2
trips over the ocean. But what a reward I've received! It is still a
beautiful airplane and I'm the lucky sod who gets to see it in my
hangar.
Better yet, it flies like a dream!
I spent time putting together several web pages and you can read more
about
the whole story here; http://bouyea.net/cur_proj/N133RM [1]

That's been a well guarded secret for a couple of years. Too bad the
weather prevented him from bringing it to Mt Vernon. John's got a
story to
tell about importing the plane back to the states and getting the N
number
back. If you were here, you could have seen the slide show and
talk... It
wasn't easy, but now we have a licensed importer in our ranks! -Jeff

poster-child, Roy Marsh's KR2S?? How in the world did you finagle
that?
Last I heard, it had been purchased by someone in Australia or New
Zealand
and had left the country.

prototype
of the -2S because it used the NACA 23012 airfoil and had some other
serious
mods that didn't represent what the plans showed. Popular lore also
has it
that the the cruise speed performance of 3RM demonstrated the number
that
Rand Robinson used in the promo literature for it. Rarely achieved,
but
some have hit that magic 180 MPH number in cruise.
