=============================
50^th Anniversary of the KR Aircraft
The KR series of experimental aircraft was the first to make extensive
use of foam / fiberglass / epoxy construction and should be considered
as the design that pushed aircraft construction in to the composite age.
Designed by partners Ken Rand and Stu Robinson, The KR1 first appeared
at Oshkosh in 1972 and was an instant success. Build of wood / foam /
Dynel / epoxy it achieved outstanding performance on a low horsepower VW
engine.Easy and inexpensive to build, hundreds of plans were sold.
Request for a two place aircraft led to the KR2 making its appearance at
Oshkosh in 1974, again an overwhelming success.With thousands of plan
sets sold for the two models hundreds were soon flying around the
world.The KR aircraft set the stage for the “composite revolution” in
aircraft construction.
With constant builder input the KR series has grown to include the KR2S,
a stretched version of the two place KR2, and hundreds of “one of a
kind” KRs that vary in length, width, wingspan, engines used, new wing
shapes, canopy shapes, and systems upgrades.A great basic design that
only improved with time.
