I don't actually own a flying KR 2 yet either but have soloed both Martin Roberts KR and Steve Alderman's KR and I had no KR instruction at the time I flew Marty's airplane. I did however own a Grumman TR 2 and had a few thousand hours of tailwheel time in a variety of airplanes. Steve

Netter's, Up until recently, what Mark listed was in fact the case. After some unrelated issues arose, RR has determined the production and delivery of plans may be better suited to having us take care of it. I spoke with Jeanette this afternoon. I was advised I will have plans within 2 weeks

While I am working on two KR projects with original registered plans, I would like to make the following observation. With all the modifications that have been made over the years by all the builders (finished and in process)... is the KR series as currently built and flown really still the same

I have about 100 hours of AA1B time, ~50 cub/champ and 0 in a KR but I would think that yes Yankee time would be good training for the KR. I plan on getting some RV tailwheel time before I try my hand at the KR. I have also heard of people getting Pitts time too. Craig --- On Fri, 2/11/11,

On the plans subject I need a set of KR1 plans for a project I bought. The plans for it were in a tube and made for great mouse bedding. Did not know till I got home with it and found the mouse still living there. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message- From: "Mark

Back in the "old days" the early KR flyers use to suggest getting some time in a Grumman Yankee as being helpful in transitioning to a small homebuilt. Ed -Original Message- From: Tiffany,Toby J Sent: Friday, February 11, 2011 10:32 AM To: kr...@mylist.net Subject: KR> Advice Needed

That makes sense. Thanks for the answer. My KR was built to plans only as regard to laying out the sides for the boat. (Wider, different wing, canopy, landing gear, tail section, .) Back to building. Steve Phillabaum KR2Swide Shorter, Alabama 334-740-0066 From: Patrick

Almost all of the KR's built today are barely related to the original KR. We, the builders over the past 35 years have made the wonderful changes that make the KR what it is today. Ken Rand (KR) was certainly our inspiration and in many cases our aeronautical education...and if I credit him by

Just a dumb question? If you down load and NOT purchase a registered set of plans can you still build the KR and call it a KR? or will you have to call it something else? Steve Phillabaum KR2Swide Shorter Alabama 334-740-0066 -Original Message- From: Mark Langford

Well, after visiting http://www.fly-kr.com/ , I find no address at all for RR anymore. I guess the bit torrent is currently the only way to a set of drawings, other than the rare used set. A Google search would probably turn them up in about .27 seconds. I have no idea what RR is thinking

Here's the story on plans. Rand Robinson has refused to give up the plans business to NVaero, and for a long time Steve at NV had to buy them at RR's price and send them to builders paying the shipping out of his pocket. For a little while he's gotten a very slight break from RR so that he's
