Netters,
Flat spins DO NOT occur due to particular inputs from the pilot but rather as a
response from the aircraft AFTER being stalled with too far aft CG. A spin is a
non aerodynamic maneuver where the aircraft is NOT flying, and is the result of
an aggravated stall. The rotation of the aircraft is determined by how the
aircraft is uncoordinated, AND where the CG is, since the CG is where all three
axis of motion ALWAYS meet. Since the KR2 has such as short coupled empennage,
resulting in an even shorter arm with an aft CG, intentional spins should only
be attempted by those with a great deal of experience in this type of
configuration, and like all phases of the test program conducted with care.
Personally I don't understand why anyone would want to spin a KR since that is
not what it was designed for and spins are not anywhere close to maneuvers in
the "normal" flight regime. Spinning a KR is akin to spin testing an MD80, or
757. Why?
