A Modern take on a classic aircraft with an all composite design
The KRSuper2 is an all composite aircraft with the design influenced by the Rand-Robinson KR2. It is the brainchild of Scott Watts and is thoroughly documented on his site!
A special thanks to Scott for making this design available! Check out his website, and monitor his progress.
