KRs @ Chino

Click for Chino, California Forecast

Larry Rhea built what looks like a bone stock KR2 with retracts. Very nice looking bird, Larry has installed a 1835cc VW built up with parts from Great Planes. He is in the process of high speed taxiing right now and I managed to snap a picture or two of him today




Bruce Marteney built a KR2 with Diehl main gear and stock RR tailwheel setup. Bruce got air born on his first or second high speed taxi session and the landing was not what he calls perfect! Anyway after a slight ground loop and some other minor damage Bruce decided to move the tailwheel to the nose and he has been happy ever since! Bruce has about 5 hours left until his 40 restriction is flown off. So far he sees a cruise of about 145 mph. He is running a Revmaster 2100 with a Sterba prop. Ground handling is "C-150 like" with the nose wheel.





Then of course there is my SP290S!
