All,
My KR came as a built unit by Mark Edal. I have inspections dated 1994. He
stretched a KR2 to 16.5' + but kept the KR2 stab and rudder. I can't lift a
wing with rudder as it will increase the drop of the wing. It follows a turn
nicely at 80mph without rudder input. On climbout I put a little rudder
input to keep the ball centered. A little tail wagging is evident on climb
at 80mph. Stall at altitude is very friendly with no buffeting just mushes
along with aileron input. Slips are easy to do but I don't use them on
landing, just do low approaches to reduce speed. I have a landing in
Brandon, Manitoba that showed the sock out straight off the right wing (90*)
and didn't bustup the plane. This is one friendly bird to fly. Al.
