Bobby,
If you are planning a test flight on a couple different KR's I have to
question a couple different variables that you have most likely already
considered but nothing should go unsaid.
Are they KR 2 or KR2 S ?
Do they have flaps or belly boards?
What airfoil is on them?
What engine is in them?
Are they conventional or trigear? worse yet retract?(just my
opinion)
Plus I caution you and everyone else from taking advice from me. I have
135 hours total and 17 in a KR2S. I am a rank beginner and I know it. I
will share freely anything thing I think I know but please use your
better judgement if something I say conflicts with anything you may have
heard from the many far more experienced pilots that are here on the
lists.
Your humble servant,
Joe Horton, Coopersburg, Pa.
