I use about 800 ft to take off. Rotate at 60 mph, level out in ground effect till I reach 80 mph and then climb out. Hot days with 2 people it is going to be 1000 plus.
Landing is about 1500 realistically. I have landed on 2000 ft runways. I bet if I had a belly board and better brakes I could get her down to 1000 ft. One benefit of trigear is you can land her and stand on the brakes to slow you down without ruining a propeller. My stall is +-50 mph, but I certainly don't push my approach speed to less than 70.

But in fairness, we have to remember Ken's KR only weighed 480 pounds. Most of ours come in 50% or more heavier than that. I shot some awesome video yesterday in the KR. Now if I can figure how to get it on youtube. Larry Flesner _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
