The KR-2, a small experimental aircraft designed by Ken Rand in the early '70s, was an advancement of his successful KR-1 Experimental. It accommodated a pilot and copilot/passenger in side-by-side seating and featured a VW or Porsche inline engine with 75 to 90 hp, paired with a fixed pitch 2-blade propeller. Capable of cruising at 120 mph and stalling around 40 mph, this aircraft was built by homebuilders using materials like wooden trusses, plywood fuselage, wood wing structure, and composite skins made from micro-bead foam and fiberglass epoxy resin. Renowned for its compact size as one of the world's smallest two-seat airplanes, the KR-2 was as popular and successful as its predecessor. This digital model is nearly scale, boasts full texturing, animateable control surfaces, a spinning propeller, openable canopy revealing detailed instruments, seats, and controls, and retractable main landing gear hidden in recessed bays. Available in multiple formats and paint schemes, this accurate representation captures the essence of Ken Rand's innovative design.
