Hello Net
Since I have not seen this touched upon yet, I will add two comments re
stalls and the KR.  First comment is that as with any aircraft, the pilot
not waste too much time before he starts finding out and practicing stalls
in his craft.  Having a stall warning is good, but having the confidence to
know exactly when and how your KR will stall is in my opinion better.  Since
the KR is pitch sensitive, the addition of weight can have a dramatic effect
on the onset of the stall.  Practicing stalls should be done with all weight
configurations.  As a side note, my KR always stalled very soft and with
plenty of notice.  When light with lots of power, it would not stall, rather
just hang on the prop and chug upward a few feet per minute.

Stall warnings.  I have installed Stohl kits on Cessna's which necessitated
the relocation of the stall warning.  Getting the exact location was always
trial and error.  If I were to install a system on my KR it would be of the
tab type as opposed to the reed type.  I would guess the starting point for
installation by looking at a low wing craft with a similar type of wing.
