>So how did Ken build a 480 pound KR2? Minimal day VFR. Get rid of all those extra instruments!
> Was he using the same >scales that measured the 180mph cruise, the 350 feet T.O. and >900 feet landing distance ? He was short and small. Light airplane & pilot, low fuel load, and a turbo VW engine = performance. To match his numbers: 1. pilot weight 130# 2. A/s, alt, v/s, compass, & minimal engine instr only 3. no Dragonfly canopy or gull wing doors 4. extra equipment - NADA! 5. thick foam or extra f/g - no way. He built a MG TD (in auto talk) type airplane. Most of the KR2s I have seen try to be corvettes. Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852 lar...@socal.rr.com
