On Saturday, September 10 took place at the Aeroclub de Escobar the first meeting of KR aircraft builders in Argentina. Despite the bad weather and enthusiastically attended by some 35 persons from different parts of the country. The fact that many have traveled many miles to be present spoke of the interest generated by this meeting organized meager 3 months. Unfortunately, the forecast of probable gusts up to 60 mph ahuyentó who would go flying and some of the interior who must travel far.

The meeting was due to perform from 10 am and this hour and there were more than 5 cars and about 10 people. The last to retire did so at around 10 of the night.

Thus began Alberto Pupato with a dissertation on the first flight of its KR2S flying with an engine Rotax 582 (65 HP) and the flight characteristics of this plane with its original profile ( RAF 48 ).

Secondly Eduardo Barros talked about his experience in the management of fiberglass resins, making a very convincing demonstration of how laminar on polyurethane foam, minimizing the work of sanding. In the second part of his statement, he referred to the new profiles and flight characteristics compared with the original and talked about his project, a development of KR highly modified, which I was pleased to see on more than one occasion in travel a San Pedro.
