Someone has his airworthiness certificate today and I made the first half hour flight a couple of hours ago. YeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaa!! Things went great and the plane is a blast to fly. Looks like my cruise speed at 3,000' and no wheel pants yet is around 145 knots.
It is a little hard to compare to a KR until I get some more time, but the grin factor seems about the same. The Stang is definitely faster and has a better climb. Pitch sensitivity is about the same, but the Stang also has more sensitive ailerons (300 degree plus pur second roll rate)and sensitive rudder. The KR requires very little attention to the rudder compared to the Stang. You have to work to keep the ball centered in the Stang. It is very similar to a Pitts that way. Landings in the Stang are much easier because it has big effective flaps and it is much more capable of a 3 point landing that sticks than the KR is. The KR is still my first love and I can't wait to get my 2 in the air.

Sounds like someone may or may not have his airworthiness certificate yet. Fly (or not) safely!
