My KR is stretched 24?inches so I may not need as much trim as some......
Larry my KR2-S is stretched another 18.75" farther aft of the rear spar. Yep you read that right...extended one more bay plus four inches to the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer spar -bulkhead.I think my KR2s is the longest in the world. I hear long is a good thing so in this case I can brag mine is longer than yours. Who needs trim when you have a long one? ?I think I might have opened a can of worms with this subject (trim and longer fuselage).Thanks Larry ?Joe Cruz....cruzj12 at frontiernet.net On Monday, May 12, 2014 11:09 PM, via KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> wrote: >The reason I know is because in N56ML, the three LEDs slightly >"north" of the middle are dead on mine, killed by radio frequency energy. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ My LED indicator got toasted early on like Mark's, probably from radio frequency overload.? I was going to replace it but decided not to bother as I never referenced it anyway.? As I recall, I made my trim tab the size called for in the plans.? I seldom see it deflected more than about 1/3 deflection after landing.? My KR is stretched 24 inches so I may not need as much trim as some.? I do get a noticeable pitch change when I deploy the speed brake full down and trim for that.? I do not reset trim for takeoff but adjust trim on climb out or cruise as necessary just as in a Cessna or Piper.? You will find that you will adjust trim by the feel in the stick, not by the lights.? On your first flight just take off with neutral trim and precede from there.? Stick forces in the KR are so light that it's not an issue. Larry Flesner _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
