The following pages will document the construction of my Rand Robinson KR2S aircraft that I plan to power with a Chevrolet CORVAIR motor. This will be a process that will take me several years to complete, therefore don't look for pictures of my airplane flying anytime soon. I will add pages as I work on the plane (time permitting) and try to get them onto the web in a timely manner.
Please don't expect any fancy web pages, I just want to publish the pictures to document my progress. I will try to make the pages small enough for those of you unfortunate enough not to be on a high speed connection, however, I will include links to larger versions of the pictures for those who want to view them.
I may include links at some point in the future to post pictures for others as a courtesy to those on the KRNet (or the CORVAIRNET).
All the pages on this site were written using Windows NOTEPAD.
Update 26 April, 2008
Ok, this update is only 6 months since the last update. I now have 865 hours dedicated to the construction of my airplane since I started six years ago.
This update is on the assemble of my Corvair motor.
Here is a picture showing the current status of my
Corvair motor.

Main KR2 site at krnet.org.
A great site with many KR related links.
A must see if you are even thinking of building a KR.
My brothers homepage is at k-farley.com.
Kevin has been a great help in the programming of this site (at some point there may be
some cool stuff here that I've learned from him).
Countdown to AirVenture 2008! Unfortunatly, I will not be able to attend this year.
