RE: >And the KR requires that you hand be supported on something, Not true. The center stick arrangement is well designed according to the plans and after flying with it for a few hours you will adapt to it and find that it is not in the way at all. If you have to free up your right hand for something it's not hard at all to fly the plane with your left hand on the center stick.
"Your results may vary"! Who said that? Ain't is so true. 185 hours in my first KR2 and I despised nothing about it more than the center stick. Everything Mark said about it goes right along with my experience. This new KR has a dual stick and I would never build a plane that forced you to use one hand or the other. Well designed??? I don't think so. But you builders, make up your own mind about it, it is your plane. Take the input and decided. Either way, the KR is a great plane to fly.
