There is no need to be concerned about the wing attach fittings when
built as called for in the plans. I

I met Bob Grimstead while in Perth. He's a nice guy, likes to write "flight
test" articles for Aussie and US magazines, but apparently he's not
qualified to speak to the integrity of the KR wing attach system. The
Aussies have dictated a couple of changes to KRs built and flown there, but

I had an engine failure in mine and landed in a field. The wings were
broken off passing through a bunch of saplings and the attach fitting never

There is an article written by Bob Grimstead about KR2s and specifically about
one he flew that is owned and built by Allen Buzza. The article is a little
bland, as far as building excitement for the KR series in my opinion. This
airplane has the original retract landing gear. It looks pretty go
Very interesting, while looking at your web page I see alot more I need to
study. Nice plane and by the way I am looking for that bubble look without any
or at least a very little speed or drag penalty. Any opinions on that?
