I've seen Marty Roberts doing rolls regularly at a few KR Gatherings in the past. I have never tried any myself because I don't have the training and I'm sure my gravity fuel system would have trouble if I stay inverted for too long. From what I've read and seen, plus a few videos out on youtube, the KR can be rolled and looped without difficulty. I concur with Brian's remarks otherwise. Maybe someday I will get some training and try a few myself.

I could be wrong, but by the question you are asking I suspect that you are not experienced with aerobatics. The KR certainly has the agility to perform light aerobatics and it also has the strength to perform light aerobatics if they are done correctly. What it lacks are some of the characteristics that would make it a good plane for someone inexperienced to safely learn aerobatics. It will take enough G loading to do most maneuvers, but is not so strong that you can badly botch a maneuver and not overload it nor is it so strong that you can do aerobatics with two people and have a comfortable margin. The KR is a very low drag airplane so do something incorrectly and get into a situation with the nose pointed down and you will build speed very quickly. Get slow at the top of a loop and stall it and things get interesting fast. You are not that far from me so if you are ever in the Northeast corner of FL give me a shout.

Does the KR2 in it's stock configuration have the strength and agility to perform light acrobatics?
