I find that landing on narrow runways are easier even in x-wind conditions, good practice too, however I do not fly a KR yet.

Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 07:14:52 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yep, I've always thought of reflexing ailerons and flaps during cruise as a band-aid for a poor design, or some other compromise, although I could be wrong. I guess everything's a compromise though. Right now my ailerons are relexed a little. On the ground they are pretty close, but once in the air the pressure on the trailing edge cusp tightens them up so that they each stick up about 3/16" or so. I need to readjust them downward to compensate, so that in flight they are in line with the rest of the wing. Maybe I'll do that Friday or Saturday, or next time it rains and I can't fly anyway. Weather kept me from flying yesterday, so I did some other maintenance stuff instead. Maintenance is limited where I am, because there's no air or electricity (or even light, at night). I'm starting to practice landing on half the runway, so I can get ready to land on the 40' wide runway at Hazel Green. I noticed last night that back when I got my license, MDQ's runway was only 65' wide, and that didn't concern me at the time, so maybe it's not a biggie...
