Larry's lady has an 18" >stretch >Steve J +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Steve, My KR has a 24" stretch. All else is basiclly built to plans as far as the rigging goes as you suggested. Franco, In your earlier post you stated your prop was 1600 X 1600 mm. A "www" conversion says that is a 63"D X 63"P. Is that correct? Also, I'm surprised you can turn that much prop that fast with 80hp. My 0-200 is turning a 60"D X 64"P Ed Sterba prop at about 2600 to 2650 rpm in cruise at full throttle and 156 smph. You did a good job on your KR and I'll be interested to hear about future flight test and performance numbers. As far as pitch sensitivity goes, I feel the average pilot can handle a KR. Some may need a bit more training than others to prepare themselves. Some will be able to just jump in and go and others will need to get their skills up to speed. Most builders will know which group to asign themselves to and if they listen to that little voice in their head it should all turn out alright. It's the poorly built KRs and pilots that aren't ready for the KR but fly it anyway and then scare the H#** out of themselves that give the KR a bad reputation. Larry Flesner
