ZK-CSR
Rand KR-2 Special
CSR has been lengthened in the fuselage by 17 inches and engine mount and prop extension to a further 9 inches, making it longer by 26 inches overall. It has been widened by 3 inches at the cockpit and uses a Dragonfly canopy. The rudder has been lengthened and a strobe added. It is running full electrics and many extras so is heavier than most with a loss of climb perfomance but no difference in the cruise and penetrates better in rough air and is more stable especially at MAUW.
The power plant is a Revmaster 2100D utilising twin magnetos and Stromberb CD150 carb. Fuel comsumption is 15 litres per hour at 125 kts. The fan is a Clark Performance Propellor 52x48".
Rand fixed gear was fitted with Cleveland hydraulic independent disc brakes and line lock parking brakes.
