KR 2 S

In 1993, the KR-2S (S for stretched) version was introduced along with many new options such as tri-gear, pre-moulded decks, wing skins, cowling, etc. Many engine options have been installed in the KR's, some of which include the VW, Subaru, Revmaster Jabiru and the latest craze is the Corvair auto conversion. Today the KR still continues to be very popular especially among those who desire the benefit of low cost building and high performance flying. As of March 2003, Rand Robinson has sold 6,121 sets of KR-1 plans, 9,279 sets of KR-2 plans and 1,138 sets of the KR-2S version. All in all, the KR is the best bang for your buck.

This aircraft is now supplied as a kit in either taildragger or nose wheel configuration.
