In the early '70s, Ken Rand designed a miniature two-seater aircraft, building upon his successful KR-1 Experimental. The craft featured side-by-side seating for a pilot and passenger, powered by a 75-90hp VW or Porsche engine with a fixed 2-blade propeller. Cruising at 120 mph with a stall speed of around 40mph, this innovative aircraft was an engineering marvel due to its wooden truss and plywood fuselage, wood wing structure, and composite wing skins made from micro-bead foam and fiberglass epoxy resin. The model boasts intricate details such as animateable control surfaces, a propeller that spins, a canopy that opens to reveal the instrument panel and seats, and retractable main landing gear housed in recessed wing bays. This meticulously crafted virtual aircraft is available in numerous formats and paint schemes, making it a must-have for aviation enthusiasts.
