In 2012 the Bounsall Super Prospector had revised, professionally drawn plans. Material is tubing, wood, and fabric. Prefab kits were available. The Super Prospector could be built for less than US$5,995. The complete plans including postage were US$75.00.

An original design built by Yvan Bougie of Valleyfield, Quebec, the Hauscat has an 1800cc VW engine and cruises at 110 mph indicated. It had been flown down to 45 mph.
The design features a jump-seat large enough for a small wife.
The Polish-designed, German-built, mostly carbon-fiber composite high-wing Speed Cruiser received ASTM certification (#131). It has a custom-built power plant and paraplegic controls for pilots in the Wounded Warrior flight program. The D-Motor is a flathead four-cylinder liquid-cooled direct drive plant rated at 95 hp and weighs 125 pounds. Cabin width is 48 inches, and seats are adjustable.

Building the SB2 was started in 1994 by S Boshoff, before the KR2S concept gained momentum. Looking for an aircraft that had better aerodynamic characteristics than the KR2, and the simplicity of the KR2, the SA-CAA granted permission to build an aircraft that was based on the KR2, but they would not allow it to be register as a KR2. Hence the SB2 which has the same wing as the KR2 with a lengthened fuselage and bigger tail areas.
The aircraft had its maiden flight on 23 November 2001.

In 1998 a retired Neurological-surgeon, Dr. Jack Barlass, approached Blue Yonder to build him a nostalgic War Bird. He had about 450 hours flying in the RCAF at the end of World War 11 and wanted to re-live some of those treasured flying memories. Our first reaction was to build something really different and suggested building a airplane that looked like the Japanese Zero. He thought that would be all right, however the next day he decided on making it look more like a North American Harvard (T6 Texan). A few days later he had second thoughts about having a tail dragger because at 72 years of age he was not sure he wanted the added pressures associated with tail dragger flying. Our new suggestion was to come up with something that looked like an Aerocoupe. It would not have the War Bird look but would be a very safe and stable cantilever wing airplane. He accepted the idea, but we could tell he was not thrilled. The next day, full of enthusiasm he said , “lets build a King Cobra.” Because of the success with the wing design and air foil of the Merlin and EZ Flyer it was decided that would be the air foil complete with yonkers ailerons, which work so well. The King Cobra look would come from the fin and rudder along with the canopy and to some extent the nose. Initially the engine to be used was the Rotax 503, 52 HP but when the time for fitting up the engine arrived Dr. Jack decided to put a new Rotax 618 in his EZ Flyer and move the Rotax 582 from his EZ Flyer to the new airplane. Hence, althought the craft was designed to fly on 52 HP it was now going to get 65. The C of G seemed to be moving further back, as design changes were being made. The day of final assembly came and a final Center of Gravity was determined. It was further back than liked, but on a prototype airplane and wing the only way to really tell how everything is going to work together is to wind tunnel test it or fly it. It was elected to fly it. With only 20 mph on the clock and some up elevator the nose wheel was comming off the ground. The large rudder gave very positive directional control with the nose wheel off the ground. With the nose wheel off the ground and about 35 mph on the dial it became airborne. The adjustable trim tab had enough allowance in it to allow hands off. True air speed at moderate cruise rpm was over 85 mph. The new airplane behaved normally in slow flight, as well as high speed flight of over 105 mph (TAS 112 mph). For the stall, at 30 mph the airplane burbled, broke and started flying again at about 35 mph. The airplane was handed over to its new owner, Dr. Jack, who several months later passed away with cancer after putting over 50 hours on his new airplane. Blue Yonder bought the airplane from the Estate and put it into full production. From date of order a kit can be available in ususlly 6 to 8 weeks. LSA legal.
