KR> KR2S Plans #1087
Hello there all! I figured I'd chip in with an introduction. My name is Peter Bancks, My wife Sarah and I live in the sunny (but cold at the moment) South East of Queensland Australia. We recently recieved KR2 and KR2S plans # 9670 and #1087 respectively. We intend on building the S variant. We are about 2 hours out of Brisbane in a small country town called Blackbutt (yes REALLY). Out here there is not a lot to distract us from the task of building our first plane together (apart from the fact my wife is currently 8 weeks pregnant with our first child), so we hope to have it completed within 2 years. I do believe a friend of mine shot Murphy (of Murphy's Law fame) last week, so until they find a replacement (probably Shamus, Murphy's second cousin) we should be able to make some decent progress! That's about all for now, will keep you all posted, and submit a web address to be added to the KRnet.org list as it gets done. Cheers, Peter and Sarah Bancks

Out here there is not a lot to distract us from the task of building our first plane together >>> Good Luck Pete (& Sarah) I am sure you have already done this, but if not, research the mods that are most popular before you start. After many months of doing exactly that, for what it is worth, I believe that a KR2S with the cockpit widened to 39" (or so) and the fuselage stretched something like 4" ahead of the main spar and AT LEAST 14" aft of the rear spar makes for a near perfect and very cost effective 2 seat airplane. These mods are relatively simple and have no negative impact on the design intergity (strength) of the fuselage. The do impact on factory supplied canopy and deckings. There are tons of other mods including the updated with section, better hinges for the tail feathers etc. - then a thousand engine options ranging from Rotary, through Veedub to Vair, or a regular certified motor - even a turbine if you wish. You will have ample time to consider these in the months (years) ahead. The mods mentioned above happen in the early stages of building and need a decision before you start.
