The KASKR-2 was the same aircraft as the KASKR-1 with a different power source: the former 100hp M-2 engine was replaced by a 230hp engine of the Gnome-Le Rhone Titan type. Some airframe and rotor improvements also were introduced.

This autogiro was flown near 90 (some sources: 76 to 79) times for up to 28min long. Most flights (1930-31) were performed by D.I.Kochits. In the 1931 KASKR-2 was successfully demonstrated to the USSR leadership. As a result, group got a green light to continue development of the autogiros.
Among the KASKR program participants was student M.L.Mil, future helicopter designer.
