What gear do you have on it? Three point landing is not the KRs strong point unless your mains are a little longer to get closer to stall angle of attack.

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. _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
