Anyone have any experience with how these were built, how much they hold, and how they effect handling? Also want to thank Langford for having this and so many other great sites listed on his site. ===== Frank Ross, San Antonio, TX, __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I was in the same boat. You not only need a new manual but you need the revised plans (drawings). The fuselage is longer, the firewall has some more reinforcing and most importantly the wing length, shape and spar are somewhat different. I really suggest you contact Rand Robinson to obtain a new set of drawings. I built my spars according to KR2 plans then found out they are not the same as the 2S. Also you may wish to incorperate the new airfoil. (See Mark Langford.) If no aircraft was built using your KR2 plans RR will re register your plans and issue a new set of drawings for about $100 US. Contact me if this is a problem for you. Via con dios.
