This is my KR2S builders webpage.  My KR2S will have some modifications to make it look more like the Hawker Seafury.  I plan on designing and building my own conventional gear and the plane may have a Corvair engine or an O-235. 

Why a KR2S you may ask.  Well for me it came down to size and construction methods.  I wanted to build a Hawker Sea Fury replica and the choices are to scratch build my own design, build a WAR aircraft or adapt another kitplane.  The WAR aircraft is too small and only a single seater and I am not interested in designing and building my own plane so that leaves the KR2S.

My KR2S Seafury specs:

VFR

40" cockpit width with zenith 601xl canopy

27' wingspan RAF 48 airfoil no flaps w/speedbrake

2780cc Corvair 105 Hp

Conventional gear

Target empty weight 750#, max gross 1300#

Fuel burn leaned 5.5 gph, Cruise @ 75% power 130kts
