>Larry says "a well rigged KR flies best with your feet on the floor, not the rudder peddles" >Gee Larry, I don't know about that. When I fly into or away from the wind, my feet can sit on the floor. If I am flying with a cross wind, I trim the rudder to relieve the pressure on my foot. It is the same with any plane that I have flown in a crosswind. Perhaps I am missing something. Could you explain? >Orma ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Orma, I'm talking "in trim at cruise" for feet on the floor. I have more trouble keeping the ball centered in my KR when resting my feet on the rudders as I seem to soon get a heavy foot on one rudder or the other. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by having to trim for a crosswind. An airplane trimmed out for "straight and level" should require the same trim for whatever direction the wind is blowing. The pilot should be the only one to know which way the wind is blowing by the heading and actual ground tract. I've got 1000 hours in aircraft with no rudder trim installed and ,except for landing, I've never had to hold rudder to allow for a crosswind. What am I missing in your question? Larry Flesner
