HALLMARKS OF HOMEBUILDING - KEN RAND'S COMPOSITE AIRPLANE, THE KR-1 Among the most talked about airplanes at the 1972 Oshkosh EAA Convention and Fly-In was the Rand Robinson KR-1 created by Ken Rand of EAA Chapter 92 in Huntington Beach, California. Not so much the airplane, which was so small that some EAAers figured it had to be either a large RC model or some over-indulgent father's taxiing toy for his child. What made the airplane special-and what now accords it "Hallmark" status-is how it was put together and what it was made out of. http://www.airventure.org/2006/events/hallmarks_rand5.html John Bouyea KR2/ Hillsboro, Oregon
