I'd like to make a little comment about flying my KR2, Granted I have only
clocked up 5 hrs on it now in the last 3 day since I started flying it myself,
but all the hype i had read about while building it, with being a very
sensitive if not over sensitive plane to fly is absolute rubbish! or I just got
it right! I cant stay out of this thing!!! it has to be possibly the easiest
plane I have ever flown! the mod to to stabilizer by stretching it's span 6"
and cutting the span of the elevator down by 4" has really paid off! still
light, powerful and responsive but by comparison to the fin and rudder which is
pretty much stock to the plan very light and very easy to catch you out and to
get in trouble with over control on the ground with the tail up, but comparison
between elevator and rudder responses, elevator would be half as sensitive as
the rudder but still just as powerful, if the rudder is anything to go by, If
any one is like myself as a low time pilot and building one, I could not
recommend anything better than the mods that Troy Petteway did to the tail,
just wish I did it to the fin and rudder. Test pilot stated to me just before I
flew for the first time that, he has never flown a plane that is so easy to 3
point land! and he is right! I could only imagine how sensitive the elevator
would be if done to the plans. Would be very nervy on the first couple of
landings until you got used to it.
