Dear List,
I am new to the list and I have been poking around the KR Net and have found
answers to alot of questions so I will try to keep this short.Just as a point
of interest, I grew up in So Cal and I used to ride my bike (as a kid) over to
Meadowlark and I would stop by the KR factory once in awhile.I got to meet Ken
when he was alive and he always had a minute for me. When I tried to buy the
plans with paper route money, he told me to come by with my parents and he
would sell plans with their blessing. Well that was the end of that! Here I am
years down the road, and I still like the KR planes.
My questions are: How does the plane do at high density altitudes? I live in
the Salt Lake area, and it gets pretty hot in the summer. Has any one found
this to be a problem? Is it realistic to use the 2S as a traveling machine for
two people. What about a Jabaru engine? Has it been tried? Last but not least,
some know it all at Oshcosh last year was explaining to me all the "Inherent
Problems" with the KR and he said the airframe will not last long due to cracks
between the wood and composite material in the airframe. Sounded hoaky, but I
am wondering what is the highest time airframe anyone has seen? Thanks
Kirk
