Does anyone have some numbers on take off and landing distance on a KR2S with belly board and 80-like HP engines?
My friend's KR2S is strictly built per-plans (light, no widening anywere, front fuel tank, etc.) with the characteristics above and I saw it fly last week, trying to pay more attention to its behaviour. The grass strip is 600 meters (about 1800 ft). He was carying a passenger and his take off run was about 450 meters (1200 ft), but when I asked him, he told me he prefers to let it run as much as he can, when taking off. His landings are always perfect on the same strip, leaving him a lot of distance to go (thanks to the belly board?). He told me he read 38 mph at touchdown. I'd like to have your opinions and numbers (I spent the past two days looking at the Krnet archives). I cannot hide (grin) I'm evaluating the chance of buying it (only evaluating!). Ciao.
