Charles: I have been looking closely at this area and even became more interested whenI discovered that the KR2 project I took over has wings that are about 10 inches longer on each side.
I ran the AicCalc program on them and that revealed a stall of 51 @ a gross wt. of 885 to 890 pounds. Music to the ears of people looking to get under the sport plane limitations. That means that fixed gear 1835 cc powered KRs should with an appropriate prop be able to meet the 138 mph max level flight and 51 mph stall limitations.( an opinion but one must remember that the regulaters make law where they stand) Don ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Charles Buddy & Cheryl Midkiff wrote: > Dan. > How close are you now to your initial flight test?
