Some Netters on this list may not recognize the connection here, but it's useful information if you realize that the KR1 was loosely based on the Taylor Monoplane, a 1956 design that obviously pre-dated the KR1. The family resemblance can be noted here- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Monoplane#/media/File:G-BEVS_Taylor_JT.1_Monoplane_(9706092553).jpg and here- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Monoplane#/media/File:Taylor_JT.1_G-AYSH_SYW_01.09.12R_edited-3.jpg , but of course Ken Rand translated that design from wood to composite and used a turtledeck instead of a straight back with a bubble canopy as the Monoplane used. When you further realize that Taylor was a Brit and his Monoplane utilized the RAF45 airfoil, you begin to see why the American KR utilizes a British RAF airfoil ;o) Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC, not a KR ;o) _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
