Hello John and Net "moderate turbulence below 12,000", The kind of wind that I was in yesterday did not include a warning for turbulence, and I would consider it mild. At times the plane was in a constant bounce and weathervane. The turn and bank was swinging from side to side non stop and ball was constantly rolling. Although the plane bouncing on the wind pockets, there was not the butt jarring hard jolts followed by the head banging on the canopy. I would not fly the KR in Moderate Turbulence. I feel that much jarring would test the spars and wing attach fittings more then I would like. The crosswind that caused me to abort the landing attempt yesterday, was such that I could not track the runway (narrow) or maintain a decent glide path.
