Just received a call from Bill Clapp of Valdosta, GA. Seems he's been very
busy. He got his project signed off yesterday and today his baby took flight.
This is the second KR he has built. He has a KR2-S tail dragger, Corvair
engine, speed brake and the new airfoil. After a short hop in ground effect he
lifted off and went around the pattern once before a smooth landing. He reports
it flew very steadily with few control inputs needed (almost hands off)his
term!!! He hopes to fly his required hours off and bring her to the Gathering,
if possible. He was going to leave her with just primer, but instead, painted
her and took care of the interior while waiting on the inspector. He's not on
the net, but if you wish to call him with questions or atta boy's, you can
reach him at 229.242.2978. Photos may follow if he can get them to me. Get
it built-then go fly the thing!
