Sparky let me go through his library of KR magazine articles a few years ago and I scanned them all. The KR has been written about a lot over the years. This is by no means a comprehensive list. Probably the best and most current coverage of the KR is the Sport Aviation issue of December 2006. Bill Clapp's KR is on the cover but Greg Laslo's very well done 8-page article with abundant photos is mostly about Mark's very successful contributions in creating "A Collaborative KR Community" - the title on the cover of this issue. It does a good job of touching upon the improvements and innovations that have evolved over the years. Air Progress March 1974 Ken Rand flying KR-1 on cover with 6-page article inside. Hot Kits and Homebuilts March 1989 Otto Glidewell Multi-page article on Rand Robinson featuring K-100 and two or three pictures of my plane, Ken Cottle's KR-1? Kitplanes, March 1993. Several page article by Don Downie. Interviews with builders Ken Cottle, Jim Evans, Sam Bailey, Richard Shirley, Tom Bagnetto. Jim Evans, WWII P-51 and P-47 pilot, regularly flew his turbocharged Revmaster KR-1 at 22,000 ft. He said in the article he could go higher. Kitplanes March 1998 Dick Stark multi-page coverage of KR Gathering Perry, OK. Kitplanes November 1988 Patrick O'Leary - coverage of Sam Bailey's KR-1's and his aerobatic routines Sport Aviation 1980 Don Dwiggens coverage of KR-1B motorglider and picture of Richard Shirley's KR-1 and Steve Bennett's KR-1 at a fly-in somewhere around the LA Basin. Sport Aviation February 1990 Multi-page article featuring KR-1 built by Richard Kunc and written by him. Sport Aviation February 1999 by Jack Cox Multi-page article featuring KR-2 built by Tom Crawford Sport Aviation March 2005 by Jack Cox Multi-page article featuring KR-2 built by Steve Jones Sport Aviation July 1980 Two page article on Dan Diehl with pictures of N4DD and also Steve Bennett's KR-1 N31123 Sport Aviation August 1980 4-page article by Jack Cox covering Randy Hebron's KR-1 with full span flaps, spoilers (no ailerons), updraft cooling, etc. Sport Aviation August 1982 by Jack Cox, three page article with pictures of Brian Henneman's KR-2 Sport Aviation April 1976 2-page article by Ken Rand with pictures covering his turbocharged KR-2 Sport Aviation September 1984 3-page article with pictures by Donald Moore on his KR-2 Sportsman Pilot Winter 1997 Cover Story, 6-page article with pictures of David Christenswn's KR-2. Sport Pilot January 1988, Cover story, 5-page with pictures feature article by Manuel "Sparky" Sparks on his KR-2 N122MS Sport Flying, June 1979 Article by Bruce Treadway on Ken Rand's crash with picture of N4KR * I've got a multi-page article by the ubiquitous Jack Cox (or could it have been Bill Cox?) with Sparky's original KR N122MS on the cover, but can't find it just now. Sparky has quite a story to tell about that flight - Cox was in the left seat and couldn't land the plane so they somehow had to switch seats in flight. I think the reason was that there were rudder pedals only on the left. Can anyone imagine switching seats in a KR in flight? Somehow they did it.

You would be surprised. I have had several articles published. Most magazines struggle to get enough material for their articles. The articles generally do not sell the advertizing space. The articles get people to buy the magazines and the number of magazines printed drives the ad revenue. My experience so far has been write it and they will come. Original Message Subject: Re: KR> KR article From: Mark Langford via KRnet List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Fri, March 27, 2015 9:22 am To: "KRnet" It's worth pointing out that conventional wisdom has been that plans-built airplanes, along with "minimally" supported kitplanes, do not earn Kitplanes a lot of advertising revenue (if ANY at this point), so there is not a huge incentive on their part to devote copy space to it. At the very least though, I'll write the article and put it on KRnet, if they choose not to print it. We should probably consider ourselves lucky to have gotten the article that we did, but the least we can do is provide a source of legitimate information for prospective builders, such as what we have at www.krnet.org ...

If the article points people toward krnet.org in order to follow up on their interest, then I think the article has served a major purpose.
