(because of some problems with my original homepage, my internet provider decided to delete it. Due to lack of time I made this new compact version).
I started building in June 1996. I have chosen the KR for its high performance at an affordable price and it´s simple building technics. The fact that over 1000 homebuilt KR´s are flying worldwide tells that it`s a good design. Since the plans are not very detailed it is a real chalenge to complete a project like this. I´m building my KR according the plans with only minor modifications. Some of the modifications are: a 2" wider fuselage, a forward opening canopy and composite seats.
I initially started building my KR as a taildragger but as I got more flying experience I decided it would be better to convert to the tri-gear version. So I replaced the RR-springbar for the diehl tricycle gear.
There are currently 2 KR´s under construction in the Netherlands. With my KR there are now 3 flying KR's in the Netherlands.
