I would recommend some serious research before purchasing this aircraft. This plane has been for sale for about three years. I know because I checked into it in November 2006. I have been told it has more recent "experiences" too. > Aircraft on http://www.Barnstormers.com > RAND ROBINSON KR2S

Hi Guys, I was checking out the list of builders and if you have not seen Dennis Dyer's site, check it out. Dennis has done the greatest thing on adding a starter and alternator to the C-65 engine in his KR2. I did a lot of checking once (especially with Harry Fenton - the Continental guy),

Guys, Something is not right with N5424N. I corresponded with the builder and the N number was cancelled - I verified it on the FAA website. It is now in a Hold-reserve state with Cancelled/Not Assigned. I get nervous myself with questionable paperwork and it sounds like this nice little bird
