Default Ranger R7

"The Ranger R7 was designed by aeronautical engineer Ken Krueger, and will be engineered, tested, and manufactured at the Vashon Aircraft factory headquarters near Seattle, Washington. Assembly will be across town at Paine Field, close to where Boeing builds its wide-body airliners."

The Krueger’s held a small hangar party this last summer. Here’s the prototype ready for spin testing. Notice the spin recover chute on the tail. It was not needed.
And Ken still flys his RV-4 you see, and peaking behind the Ranger is Harmon’s -8. All very RV related. [IMG][/IMG]

Ummmmm. Ken left in 2012. 2012 - 1996 = 16

It took me a minute to realize how old this thread was.

Four years,my fault. I did see Ken the next day and he told me he was "working on a new secret project". Now we know what.
