Congratulations to Chris, John, and the others featured in this article. Our
airplanes are super well represented and the storyline is also well
represented. Proud to be among the KR builders.

| Chris Pryce’s "KR-2S ish"
Chris Pryce, perhaps typically of many KR builders, describes his airplane as
a "KR-2 ish," in part because it’s actually a fair distance from the original
idea of the KR-2.

| Meet KR2-S Owner John Bouyea
Bouyea, who is based at the Olinger Air Park near Hillsboro, Oregon, routinely
"flies off 2000 feet of grass. You can do that with this airplane; you just
have to be sure you hit your numbers."

| A Celebration of KRs
I have to admit that the KR has never really had a prominent spot on my radar.
Certainly not for any negative reason. Mostly, I think, because the design was
in its heyday before I became interested in homebuilts. And like anything we
do, our earliest experience tends to be highly influential.

| Two Paralyzed Pilots Take to The Skies
Justin Falls is a quadriplegic pilot who learned to fly with help from Able
Flight, a non-profit organization whose mission is to offer people with
physical disabilities an opportunity to learn to fly; an extremely rewarding
experience that may have once felt unachievable for people who use wheelchairs
due to a spinal cord injury.

Randall Harris’ EAA Biplane was on our May 1989 cover in a paint scheme with
more than a passing resemblance to the Christen Eagle. The Eagle was, as you
may remember, the seminal homebuilt aerobatic biplane of the period, designed
to take up where the Pitts Special left off.
