I knew Al (Alvin) Campbell well when I lived in San Antonio in the late 80’s. He was from Arkansas and helped a fellow Arkie build my KR-2 which first flew in 1991. He was buddies with Dan Diehl, and I watched them install the first Diehl fixed gear on Al’s plane, a turbocharged VW. I then ordered the second set of Diehl gear for my KR before it flew. Unfortunately, Al died in his plane while giving a demonstration ride, sometime around early 1992. I have lost track of Calvin, his twin brother. Al was a huge ambassador for the KR-2 and was always ready to give demo rides.
