info on Krosno KR03 wanted
Earlier comments seem quite appropriate to me.
The back seat of the KR-03a is MUCH more comfortable and has far better visibility than the 2-33. There's a 5000 hour life limit on the KR-03a "Puchatek". As far as I know this has yet to be addressed. It is a while since I have spoken with Barry Aviation, since my club sold their last Puchatek. At one point Barry were considering accepting trade-in of your KR-03a against a new Peregrine... If the Peregrine exists. The 2-33 does not have any paperwork for installing electric thingies (battery, COM radio, computer, FLARM, TXP, logger...) Believe Puchateks do allow such things. Kr-03a even has a rear instrument panel. The "Puke Attack" is a good winch trainer. The 2-33's "CG hook" is too far forward to be practical. The nose wheel KR-03a still had rubbish for wheel brakes. The Puchatek is easier to transition people to "glass" from. Uli he's kidding, I'm sure. But let's pretend it's summer and not restart that recurring thread. Jim

Jim - sorry, but I couldn't resist. ;-) I flew the Kr03a many years ago when there was an operation Walterboro, SC which operated two of them. The Krosno struck me as very comparable to the Ka-13 - a very pleasant to fly trainer. Does anybody know if Berry Aviation in Florida is actually producing them now? Uli

Its Barry Aviation.

Anyone have recent news from Barry Aviation about the Peregrine or the life extension program for the KR-03a? Jim Tim and Patty need a source of funding. Tim has some thoughts on that, I made a suggestion that was probably a long shot. That was 3-4 months ago. Frank
