This is Wannabee in Jerry's Factory when Jerry and Dan took it to Dan's shop to be completed in May 2001. Made it to the airport and got inspected Nov. 17 2005. Engine problems have prevented me from getting her into the air, but progress is being made.On August 28, 2006, N64KR took to the air. Working the ailerons and elevator, briefly, demonstrated that the little craft was ready to go.

1/23/2005 The interior of the plane is finished. I used the very nice embroidery that Steve Glover sent to me. The fact that the rest of it is in the same color and looks much the same as Steve's, is just a coincidence as these colors were picked out shortly after the plane was moved to my shop.
The Black Bird as seen from the chase plane, an RV6 piloted by James Clark. This first flight went exactly as planned. More flight reports, as soon as I can find time to fly again. 1 hour and 2 landings.
Friday, December 30, 2005, Mark Langford flew his "very fast" "highly modified" KR2S, to KCUB for a visit. We did not have much time due to fog having delayed his departure, but it was great and I really enjoyed the opportunity to handle the stick on his plane for a short flight. Those flaps on his plane really make a difference.

6/17/2002 The side view mirror motor is cut in half. It is now only 1-5/8" high. Looks more like a trim servo now.... Click on the pic to see the new 'trim' section...
11/11/2001 This is the latest completion... The seats are made of foam, plywood ribs and carbon fiber. Click on the picture for more pictures....
