 Colin
  I saw your post to the KR-net about your concern for directional
 stability on take off.  I have been flying my KR-2 for about 8 years and
 have not had the problem you described.  I suspect your problem will
 diminish greatly when you fly solo.  When taking off with two aboard
 acceleration will be slower and the transition between tailwheel control
 and rudder control is longer.  I seldom fly with two aboard and therefore
 have been very satisfied with the KR-2's crosswind capabilities.  At air
 speeds above thirty the KR rudder seems very effective and I would
 hesitate to increase it's area unless you will be flying consistently with
 two aboard.  Hope this helps.

Hi Guys

 Can anyone tell me how I contact the English couple who flew their KR2 from
the
 UK to Australia back in October 2001. I have tried their site
 http//:fly.to/worldtour  without any success!

ps: I'm still waiting to purchase the book Colin planned to write of his
adventure.
We should invite him to the Gathering.
