I ain't a nay sayer. I've toyed with the idea myself. A serious difficulty
is weight and CG. Because of its weight and speed, a KR2 would require a
big and heavy BRS.
Has anybody bit the bullet yet?

Objet : KR> Risk assesment
The death of Steve Jones has me thinking hard. When I look at how many
deaths have occured in experimental aircraft and compare that to the
number of experimental aircraft that have been completed and flown, it
seems to me that our "hobby" is quite risky.
I'm ok with that.
Also I factor in that guys like Steve Jones are very intelligent folks,
meticulous, and thoughtful.
I wonder why we build these small planes without BRS devices. That 3
thousand dollars seem to me to be very cheap insurance.
Now I know alot of guys will come out of the wood works and say that "as
long as you get the nose down, and fly the plane, etc etc"
I'm sure Steve knew to do all those things. He is gone.
Am I all wrong in my thinking?
