The KR-2 Experimental, a homebuilt aircraft created by Ken Rand during the early 1970s, was an evolution of his successful KR-1 model. This compact plane accommodated a pilot and copilot or passenger in side-by-side seating and could be powered by either a VW or Porsche inline engine with 75 to 90 hp, coupled with a fixed pitch, 2-blade propeller. It boasted a cruise speed of 120 mph and a stall speed around 40 mph. This innovative aircraft featured a wooden truss and plywood fuselage, wood wing structure, and composite wing skins made from micro-bead foam and fiberglass epoxy resin, making it one of the smallest two-seat planes ever constructed by homebuilders. The KR-2, like its predecessor, achieved great popularity and success in aviation circles. The model available for use is built nearly to scale, features fully textured surfaces, animateable control surfaces, and an animated propeller. Its canopy opens to reveal the detailed instrument panel, seating arrangement, and controls. The main landing gear can be retracted into recessed bays within the wing. This model comes in various formats and paint schemes for customization.
